What do a wildly creative fitness coach and a bright young mentee have in common? In this episode, KiMi and Vernita reflect on the people who keep them grounded and inspired, and how these relationships shed light on something much bigger.

They dig into the hidden cost of wasted time (not just in classrooms, but in our systems, our workplaces, and our lives). At the center of their conversation is a hard truth: even the most passionate and capable educators are often boxed in by rigid rubrics and stripped of autonomy. The result? Burnout, broken spirits, or even questionable decisions.

Through deeply personal stories and sharp insights, KiMi and Vernita reveal how too many children, teachers, and everyday people are silently battling difficult circumstances without the support they deserve. And they don’t stop there.

This episode connects the dots between lived experiences and larger systemic failure - while offering a bold invitation to reimagine how we honor time, nurture talent, and redefine the purpose of education.
