Learning in the Margins
My mum is whip-smart, creative, and relentless — and still says she’s “not clever like you or your brother.” The system told her that, and over time, she believed it.
This episode is about the kind of deep, unrecognised learning that happens outside the classroom — the skills, wisdom, and grit you gain without a certificate, and why they matter. We’ll talk about emotional labour, the hidden curriculum, and why sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is speak before you feel ready.
If you’ve ever been told you’re “just” something, or felt you had to wait for permission to be taken seriously, this conversation is for you. And if you’re looking for a place to share your voice and your skills without permission slips or gold stars, you’ll hear how to join me in The Unmuted Lounge.
