    Episode Five - Youngish Thomas

    Surprise! This week's special guest is me. Welcome to the first ever solo episode of Youngish. I wanted to take this week to spend some time reflecting on what I have been up to over the last couple of years and why I decided to rebrand the podcast in the first place. The last time I did a solo episode was back in 2021 and quite a lot has happened in my life that has both pushed and challenged me in a multitude of ways. Just as much as I hope for my guests to be vulnerable on their episodes I also need to do the same. Sharing my life experiences provides my audience the opportunity to know me as more than a host, but a whole person. In this solo episode I dive into my reasons for transitioning out of the classroom, finding tranquility in work life balance, and sharing the why behind the new podcast name: Youngish.  Follow the podcast on instagram: @youngishpod...rate, review, subscribe, and share! Take some time to engage with the poll and Q&A. I would love to use your feedback to better every episode!! Thomas Shaffer Instagram: shaf_attack TikTok: youngishpodcast
