Wow! Great first podcast Brenna! Suggestion: please turn down the transition music a touch, I had to keep adjusting the volume whenever it came on.

Thank you for reminding us that we often do not teach content during the first class, or the first week of classes. We do, however, start building the relationships with our students. I will be taking that tidbit of advice and hanging onto it for dear life next week!

Thanks, Marie! We’ve taken your note to heart — tune in to the next episode for a wee shout-out. 🙂

I really liked your podcast. I enjoyed listening to your voices – the voices that have helped us throughout the summer. Very calming and reassuring. Content was good, too! Right on the money 💰
I did a quick revision of my teaching schedule and decided not to teach content on the first day 😂
Looking forward to your next one!

Thank you, that was fantastic and so positive. I have subscribed and am looking forward to the next episode!
