It seems that long hiatuses are a thing nowadays? We're sorry! But we're back! We talk about our summers and what we've been up to. Pool time, grad school, and surgery.

Episode 29- After a little Covid hiatus, we are back. We had the lovely Allyson back on and chatted about what we’ve been doing since the last time we recorded, which was March. We talk about virtual teaching, a little on Covid in general, and the things that we are enjoying on tv and reading.

Episode 28 - Honored to record this episode at the Ron Clark Academy with co-founder Kim Bearden. Kim is a best selling author, award winning teacher, and overall superstar. We discussed how Ron Clark Academy was created, the importance of relationships (can’t talk about this enough), Soul care, tv’s Survivor, and a million other topics. We could have talked to her for hours. We hope you enjoy listening to our conversation just as much as we enjoyed having it.

We talked about how fabulous this woman was when we returned from AMLE, so we feel so lucky to have teacher, Dean of Students, and speaker Kim Campbell as a guest on the podcast. We talk about the importance of movement, engaging boys, building relationships, and a little on how to reach "mean girls."

We could not be more excited than to welcome New York Times Best Selling Author Jessica Lahey on the podcast. Jessica has articles written in The Atlantic and the New York Times, and we have her on the podcast to discuss her New York Times best selling book The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed. We had the joy of seeing her at AMLE in Nashville this past November and knew we had to ask her to come on the podcast. We hope you enjoy this great discussion on our love for middle schoolers, the importance of giving children of any age autonomy and intrinsic motivation to succeed.
