In this episode, I’m talking about everything from a wildly out-of-place operatic performance at my dinner table… to a voice memo that had me reconsidering every teacher’s unspoken job description… to the moment I accidentally confessed to a German felony because I couldn't understand what anyone was saying.

And yes, there’s a story in here about nipples. And lotion. And regret.

Plus, I’m finally sharing the unexpected resource that has completely reshaped how I think about reading instruction… and honestly, I want to know what you think about it.

Why context is the difference between a beautiful performance… and a crime scene.

The unexpected way a Japanese festival turned one teacher into a local legend.
