The Heart of a Teacher: Darrah Brown on Finding Joy, Self-Love & Raising Empowered Children

Meet the extraordinary Mrs. Darrah Brown, a middle school science teacher whose spirit and love for her students radiates through every word (and facial expression!) This is one of the “firsts” that was truly hard to bottle for just audio! With her infectious laughter and playful humor, Mrs. Brown transforms classroom experience into an adventure, making learning not just fun, but deeply relevant to her students' lives. 

Good teachers are precious, and Mrs. Brown is a shining example of not only how educators can shape hearts and minds, not just impart facts, but also how they are real human beings! Her passion, wisdom, and palpable belief in her students will leave you feeling uplifted and hopeful. If you're looking for a dose of inspiration and some practical wisdom for life, this episode is an absolute must-listen (and watch!)

I was deeply moved by her honesty about her own journey of self-love, being vulnerable and honest with her students, as well as the challenges of raising confident daughters. Enjoy and do share your feedback!
