The Real Story Behind my Lessons (A patreon sneak peek)

I’m sharing something extra special—a sneak peek into the very first episode of my Live & Learn Patreon Podcast.

My Patreon is designed for content that deserves to be behind a paywall—more intimate stories from my life, deeper dives into topics we all wrestle with, and exclusive offers just for my Live & Learn Patreon community.

Like the episodes you hear here, these Patreon episodes include a thoughtful lesson, an engaging activity to help you connect with the topic, and some optional homework or action steps for you to take.

In this episode I follow up on a topic I mentioned back in Episode 3 of Life’s Next Lesson Plan: probably the most powerful writing lesson I taught in my 29 years in the classroom. This lesson reveals some deeply personal details about my childhood and, honestly, it’s probably the most engaging writing experience I ever shared with my students.
