In this high-energy episode I am joined by Tyler Jackowski, an educator and content creator, for a hilarious and heartfelt conversation about teaching, ADHD, mental health, and the wild world of classroom chaos. From unforgettable freak outs in the classroom to advice on thoughtful teacher gifts and even the unexpected perks of online fame, this episode delivers laughs, insights, and a strong sense of camaraderie among educators. Get ready for an unfiltered look at the teacher life—and maybe even a few lessons on self-care.
