From principals fighting in parking lots and removing office doors after arguments… to awkward staff meetings, favoritism, toxic school culture, teacher support, first-year teacher struggles, and the reality of working under good (and terrible) leadership — this episode is full of the kind of stories teachers only tell behind closed doors.

The conversation also touches on teacher confidence, emotional intelligence in leadership, classroom coaching, school politics, mentorship, ADHD teacher moments, and why a great principal can completely change a teacher's career.

If you've ever worked in a school, had admin drama, or questioned how some people became principals in the first place… this episode is for you.
