Welcome to The Resistance: An Underground Educators Podcast In this very first episode of The Resistance—formerly known as the Black on Black Education podcast—I'm telling the full story. The real one. The one I've only hinted at before. This rebrand isn't just about changing a name. It's about standing 10 toes down in what I believe: educators deserve better, and our kids deserve freedom, joy, and justice in their classrooms right now.In this episode, I'm opening up about:Why I rebranded the podcast and what it means to be a part of The ResistanceGetting fired—and how that experience revealed just how toxic school cultures can beWhat it feels like to be perceived as "disruptive" simply for doing what's right for kidsThe moment I realized I was starting to mimic the harm I was fighting againstHow I realigned through reflection, rest, and radical honestyThe three promises I made to myself this school year: let go of what I can't control, have more fun, and take care of myselfThis isn't just my story. It's the story of so many of us who've been told to sit down, stay quiet, or follow the rules in systems that were never built for us—or for the young people we serve. If you've ever cried in your car after work, felt silenced, or been penalized for telling the truth while still teaching your students to use their voices—this episode is for you.Links mentioned:Don't Be Like Dan: A Deep Dive into Power Hoarding in SchoolsI'm Gonna Have the Best School Year of My Life EpisodeReflection Prompts:When have you been penalized for telling the truth?Have you cried in your car after work?

In this solo bonus episode, Michelle gets real about something most of us keep quiet: burnout.Not the dramatic breakdown-in-the-shower kind. The silent, slow, invisible kind that creeps in while you're still functioning, smiling, and showing up for everyone else. Michelle shares her personal story of ignoring the signs, navigating health anxiety, and eventually ending up in A&E—only to hear the words:“You're not dying. You're just stressed.”From gallstone drama to heart monitors and everything in between, this is an honest reflection on how burnout doesn't just hit hard—it hits quiet. And how slowing down, letting go of pressure, and learning to say no might just be the real comeback.

Help! My marriage has shipwrecked my life. This thought arises in every marriage. The idea of great love in marriage and family can be exhilarating. It still causes people to lay in bed and dream of what life could be with someone they love. Why? The greatest human experience is the giving and receiving of great love. But…. What if the dream gets shipwrecked? A spouse becomes an addict. Someone has an affair. The person you love crushes your heart. In every relationship, at some point, the person that made you want to get on board the boat, is the same person that makes you want to overboard. Or push them overboard. In every relationship! These moments will happen.Can the marriage be fixed? No. But lives can change. The people in the marriage can change and that changes everything. The sharks are swirling. Future painFinancial ruinRegretImpact on the kidsThe sinking boat represents the life I was made for. The person I was made to be. Some people use these moments to live like never before. Other people get used by these moments and never really live again. The question becomes, where is my new boat. It's not about pulling up the old one. It's about finding a new one. It can be a new boat together. It can be separate boats together. (if you have kids, that is going to be the reality whether you want it or not.) you are going to be together in a contentious way or in a loving way. Talk to an unbiased person who has wisdom in these matters! There are many people who have experience in the pain of things like this. But no experience in the redemption of things like this. These people will help you walk in their pain. Other people can help you walk in your redemption story. I would say that our role is to provide a safe place for people to float while they figure out the steps to navigate toward the future they were made for. Support the Show.

Here's the problem:You've been told you're stupid for not remembering things.You sat in a room with no windows and told to “just study harder”.You've been told you're not good enough for forgetting your homework.Struggled in school to get straight A's? But you're intuitive and great with your hands?ADD how it effects me and how I manage itIf you have ADHD, you are a problem solver and need to leverage that super power.My ADHD Superpowers are solving complex problems and locking on to a target and not letting go.I see solutions to problems others can't see or can't see for themselves.It's what has helped me be able to charge $250/hour for physical therapy when everyone else thinks physical therapy is only worth the co-pay.It's why I am a coach and have a coach.It's also what gets me in trouble in personal relationships.It was really hard listening to my ex when she just wanted to process her feelings and what happened. I just wanted to solve the problem, make a decision and move on.It's even what bugs me about my mom.She's always trying to solve my problems instead of just listening to me.it's why my daughter and I clash, fight or bicker as other people see it. She also wants to be heard and with every problem I see a simple solution.5 Ways I manage my ADD1) Write it down - Make Lists2) Calendar - if it doesn't exist in my calendar it's not happening.3) Take action on the small things and complete the tasks4) Time Timer 0- time block 5) Maintain a routine-keys/wallet always in the same place, -Wake up and workout at the same times -weekly schedule - work in the morning, calls in the afternoons6) Medicate - Take Ritalin - it keeps me from having to jungle all the balls, even in the afternoons when I'm with my kidsThe bigger the problem you can solve the more impact you will have and the more money you can make.

“Launch into a life that you want to live. Not a life you're gonna have a midlife crisis from in 20 years.”–Dr. Crystal GiffordWhat if your kids didn't go to college? Most of us grew up with the idea that college is the gold standard, but what if it isn't right for your kids? I'm talking with Dr. Crystal Gifford and coach Summer Joy Deaton, founders of College Reimagined: LifeLaunch Core, about alternatives to college and what it really means to launch our kids.Ideas about college are shifting. For some that means a certificate or trade training, but my guests today are looking at another option. What if we give students an opportunity to discover what it is that they really love that is also a sellable transferable skill that's going to help them have a life that's full of satisfaction.What if young adults spent time figuring out themselves and finances? What if they figured out where what they love and how they make a living intersect—and then put time and energy there? It might mean college or entrepreneurship or many other routes, but the starting point gives them a different set of options.We talk about: Learning how to create your own economy, make money right away and avoid going so deeply into debtUsing Human Design to understand and support your childrenWhat it means to launch your kidsThe importance of mentorsPlugging into students' inspirationForging tenacity and dealing with daily challengesABOUT SUMMERMeet Summer Joy Deaton, a third-generation entrepreneur with alifelong dedication to education and empowerment.

This week, a mom joins me in a wide-ranging conversation about the way her son can get sassy — and be difficult to parent — when his blood sugar is high. But before we ever got to that issue, we hit on a few other important topics.First of all, this brave mom talked about how dysregulated she gets when she is following diabetes all, all, all the time. She shared that she's made a practice of dis-connecting herself sometimes from the task of managing. Since this kind of self-care is an important message that I give in all my Sweet Talk programming, we spent a little time here, looking at how this practice evolved for her. She shared how the reflections of close and loving family members really helped her to see the ways that she was stretching herself too far and that she needed to find a way to take self-care breaks. Then, in thinking with her about how to address the high blood sugars that are making her son so hard to parent, we took a detour to talk about disordered eating behaviors and the risk of that with T1D. It was a great opportunity to share with listeners that my next free workshop — the ever-popular Let Them Eat Cake? — focuses on this issue and is now open for registration. Finally, we started tackling the real issue of parenting highs, talking through how you might start a conversation about this to raise your child's awareness of what is happening in their body. I name that this is a bit of a process — not something a parent can magically expect their child to be able to do right away, but something you can help them cultivate over time. We are planting seeds in their awareness.Listen to hear more about:How to think about moderate eating and teaching that to our kidsThe difficulty that some people with type 1 have in feeling fullHow to help your child pay better attention to when they feel full and creating thoughtful behaviors related to food and eatingHow to help your child gain some self-awareness about their behaviors without making them feel bad about themselves. How it can be helpful to talk to our children about hard topics in moments when their blood sugar is in range — and when we (and they) are calm and regulated How asking our kids to pay attention can help them gain insightMentioned in this episode:Need help getting your kid the right snacks?That's why I've created the Sweet Talk Snack Course.

Book Vs. Movie: Are You There, God? It's Me, MargaretJUDY BLUME Y'ALL!!!!! The Margos begin our annual “Banned Books Month” as always, loving the books and hating why we must feature them. Judy Blume is one of the most successful authors of all time, and her books, some of the most requested to be removed from libraries, make our hearts hurt and fill us with rage! Are You There, God? It's Me Margaret is a story about an 11-year-old girl, Margaret Simon, who is dealing with issues many of us readers can relate to--feeling anxious, wanting to fit in, unsure of your place in the world, etc. It's been a classic in YA literature since 1970, and Blume was very particular about its adaptation. The film is written and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig for Lionsgate films. Join us in this discussion!

If you are listening to this podcast, my hunch is you're working hard to learn as much as you can about your child and the neurodivergent community. But the truth is, we are bound to not know some things and make mistakes. And I want to be the first one to tell you, that's okay! There is no shame in making mistakes as long as we keep on learning and try to do better further down the line. My guests today are on a mission to show parents that there are different ways of approaching autism beyond what they're told in doctors or therapists offices. Meghan Ashburn and Jules Edwards, co-authors of the book I Will Die on This Hill: Autistic Adults, Autism Parents, and the Children Who Deserve a Better World, are making it really clear that there is no one size fits all for any families and that there is so much to learn from just listening more. About Meghan AshburnMeghan Ashburn is a continuous learner, educational consultant, parent mentor, and co-author of I Will Die On This Hill. She's passionate about helping schools create more inclusive, accessible environments. Her online book club has over 10K members, and releases book recommendation lists on autism and neurodiversity.
