Welcome to my monthly podcast designed to share, reflect & grow together on the journey of being your authentic self. Whether you're a seasoned educator, passionate about learning, or looking to take the journey of growing together, we can all learn from each other. Each episode speaks to the journey of finding yourself and reflecting on how being authentically you can make you a better educator, a better friend, and a better human being. Teachers are so much more than the traditional teacher identity. Follow along and join the journey as we keep Teaching [and learning] from Beyond the Desk.

In this introduction episode, you'll meet your host, Laura DeMars & learn how finding your own identity, inside & outside of the classroom, can help you on your journey of living the life that you want & being your true, authentic self. Laura is a seasoned STEM educator, & an advocate for life-long learning. Through self-discovery, Laura has learned many things about self-care, advocating for yourself & the importance of growth & celebration! This is just the beginning.
