Midweek Minute - The Waiting Moments

The Beautiful Ache of Changing Seasons

As school years end, graduations begin, summer plans fill calendars, and kids continue growing up, this season can hold more emotions than we expect. In this episode, I’m reflecting on family, showing up for the people we love, and the quiet reality that joy and letting go often travel together. If life feels exciting and bittersweet all at once, this one is for you.

The Teachers Who Shape Us

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and I’ve been thinking about the teachers who stay with us long after we leave their classrooms. The ones who saw something in us… who showed up with patience… who offered kindness in moments we didn’t even realize we needed it. In this episode, I reflect on the quiet impact teachers have—and how often they never fully know the difference they’ve made. I also share a moment from this week—a simple note from a student—that served as a reminder: growth doesn’t always look big in the moment, but it matters. Whether you’re a teacher, someone who’s been shaped by one, or just someone navigating your own middle space… this one is about the power of showing up and the lasting weight of small moments. Who was that teacher for you?
