A Change is Coming

Welcome to the Inspired Teacher podcast! In this very personal episode, I look back on nearly four years and 273 episodes of hitting "record," sharing ideas, and growing alongside educators across the U.S. and Canada. I talk about why I started the show back in 2022, what I'm most proud of, and why I'm now making a big pivot out of the education podcast space. This isn't goodbye to teaching—it's an expansion into mental performance work with wrestlers, athletes, and their parents. Drawing on my own wrestling regrets, years of coaching since 2004, and what I've learned through training with Lindsay Wilson and Positive Performance, I explain why this moment feels right and why understanding how the brain works changed everything for me. It's a reflective, honest, and hopeful episode about leaving the familiar, getting "in the mud," and stepping into what's next.
