 Have you ever stopped to question the way we think about education? The way we define success? The way learning should look and feel? For a long time, I didn’t. I followed the path, checked the boxes, and did what I was supposed to do. But over the years, as a student, teacher, and now a parent, I’ve come to realize that learning isn’t one-size-fits-all. And the way we measure success? That might need rethinking too. In this solo episode, I dive into the idea of ‘rethinking’ education - questioning the traditional learning journey and exploring what teaching, learning, and success really mean. I share personal experiences as a student, teacher, and parent, revealing the challenges of an achievement-driven mindset and how my perspectives have shifted over time. From struggling behind the scenes as a high-achieving student to navigating the education system as a mom, I explore the realities of school, the importance of feeling seen, and the need to rethink success beyond the traditional path.

STRUGGLE On the surface, I was the picture of academic success - high marks, awards, scholarships - but beneath it all, I was struggling. I spent hours trying to keep up, carrying a constant weight of anxiety. School felt like a never-ending cycle of proving myself, and while I found strategies to "succeed," I never truly felt at ease. When I left home for an international school, the anxiety hit even harder, amplified by the loss of familiar support systems. It wasn’t until I started finding new ways to manage the overwhelm that things slowly shifted. Even as I moved through university, teaching, and eventually motherhood, those feelings of pressure and self-doubt followed me. But becoming a mom to kids in school? That changed everything. It made me rethink education - not just for them, but for myself too. Achievement doesn’t always mean understanding, and success doesn’t always mean ease. Sometimes, the biggest lessons come when we finally pause to question the path we’re on. THE UPS AND DOWNS OF SCHOOL When school is going well, it feels easy - parent-teacher interviews are positive, your child is engaged, and everything seems to be on track. But when school is a struggle, it’s a different story. Homework battles, morning resistance, and emotional meltdowns can make every day feel like an uphill climb. As parents, we have to step in - not just to support our kids, but to advocate for them, even when it means having difficult conversations with teachers, partners, and sometimes even ourselves. A child’s success isn’t just about grades. It’s about feeling seen, supported, and understood. As parents, our role isn’t to fix everything, but to stand beside them as they navigate the challenges. THE INVISIBLE STRUGGLE OF STUDENTS In a busy classroom, it’s easy to assume that quiet, well-behaved students are doing just fine. But silence doesn’t always mean success. Many kids who don’t speak up, cause trouble, or demand attention can struggle just as much as those who do - they just do it quietly. With so many students and responsibilities, teachers face real challenges in getting to know every child, but the reality is that some kids go through the school day feeling unseen and unheard. Just because a child isn’t raising their hand doesn’t mean they don’t need support. Every student deserves to feel noticed, valued, and understood. THE MAGIC OF UNICORN TEACHERS
