This one wasn't easy. In this episode, after a short life update, I'm reflecting on a very recent, negative experience that forced me to stand up for myself and defend my character while my intentions were being questioned and judged. It's about responding with facts and maintaining composure rather than reacting impulsively, even when the situation remains unresolved. These uncomfortable encounters often serve as unexpected teachers, offering lessons in personal growth and resilience. I invite you to consider how each experience, no matter how challenging, shapes our character and perspective. Remaining authentic and true to one's values is essential, and I emphasize surrounding oneself with supportive people and setting appropriate boundaries. It's a path that requires empathy, especially when dealing with others who may be projecting their struggles onto us. By reaffirming self-worth and engaging in kindness, we not only strengthen our character but also prepare ourselves for future challenges. Connect with us: What the Nell!?

Do you value your education?  Is there a decline in educational value?  In this episode, we are answering these questions and more.  Today's guest Rob Cochran, Director of Youth Ministry at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, whose academic evolution from repeated college failures to earning two master's degrees challenges conventional wisdom. Our lively discussion traverses the spectrum of education, questioning its true value in a rapidly changing world. We scrutinize the education system's promise to prepare students for real-life challenges, highlighting the striking lack of essential life skills instruction, such as financial literacy, and share personal stories that shed light on the successes and shortcomings of our schools.

Wrapping up with a twist, we dissect the intersection of education, fame, and career in the social media age.
