About this listen

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” – William Butler Yeats

Katrina Carrasquillo didn’t plan to become a teacher—but the classroom had other ideas. What started as a detour became a five-decade legacy of igniting minds, raising expectations, and loving students into their highest potential.

From ESL in the Philippines to high school Shakespeare in the States, Katrina’s story is one of fierce passion, no-nonsense mentorship, and deep community care. Her approach? Tough love, high standards, and showing up for her students long after graduation day.

We also dive into what keeps her flame lit—faith, sisterhood, spa days, and rock-solid boundaries (plus a little wine and a whole lot of laughter). Whether you're an educator, a parent, or a woman navigating what’s next, Katrina’s wisdom reminds us how to lead with love and live without regrets.

So grab your coffee—or your wine—and settle in for a heart-filled ride with one unforgettable teacher.

👉 If you’re ready to reclaim your spark and build a life with more clarity, boundaries, and joy, check out the Overcoming the Working Mama Mindf**k video series and The Inner Circle at https://mariposamastermind.com/
