Hop in the time machine with me—because this episode is straight outta my live video archives from over five years ago! Back when face filters were a thing, I greeted every person who popped in, and background noise (like blenders and babies) was just part of the deal. It’s unpolished, it’s real, and it’s packed with the kind of gold you only get from raw, real-life lessons. Let’s go!

This episode was recorded in 2021, as we all tried to find our footing after the global pandemic. Specifically, I talk about high schoolers and the overwhelming struggle they faced trying to re-enter the school system after months of isolation and disruption.

Social skills had regressed. Phones became lifelines and then crutches. And educators, parents, and students alike were navigating a totally new world with little direction.

This is a time capsule moment—a look back at what we were facing and how hard we were working to just figure it out. It’s a reminder of how much grace we needed (and still need), and how messy progress can look when you’re in the thick of it.

Sometimes growth means relearning how to be human together.
