Episode description

In this conversation I sat down with a fellow teacher, Ms. Williams, who I had the pleasure of meeting when she subbed for my class. Since then we've had many interesting conversations and she was kind enough to sit down with me for a pod. Expect to hear what it was like being born and raised in Bermuda, what she learned from people watching, what it's like wearing different masks in different settings, why it's essential to hold onself accountable, what it means to be authentic, the process of figuring out your purpose, and why working with young people is both a headache and fulfilling.

Due to time constraints, we only got through about 25% of the questions I prepared so Ms. Williams and I will be in the works for part 2!
