Friends… Operation Filling Bellies has been a whirlwind, and I’m spilling it all. From feeling completely overwhelmed when I realized how many families needed help, to the stress of wondering if I could even make it work... This episode takes you behind the scenes of the highs, the lows, and the moments that had my jaw dropping. Insights into the incredible generosity of strangers and companies, and why showing up... even when you’re stressed and unsure, can lead to the most amazing outcomes.

Let’s be honest: if teachers ran the world, things would function a whole lot better. This episode, we’re breaking down exactly how... with a little humor, a little chaos, and a lot of... low key... “you know I’m rights.”

I’m sharing a story that genuinely melted my heart and reminded me why I love teaching so dang much.

A new student joined our class, and what happened next was one of the purest, sweetest displays of kindness I’ve ever seen. My second graders stepped up in ways that made me stop, watch, and think, “Wow… kids are truly better humans than us.” Their empathy, their excitement, their instinct to include... Honestly, adults could never.

If you need a little faith-in-humanity boost or a reminder of the magic inside a classroom, this episode is going to hit you right in the feels.
