Episode 9 — Assessed in School and Life

In this episode, we talk about assessment — not just in school, but in life. From grades, observations, and evaluations in the classroom to the quiet ways we measure ourselves as adults, this conversation explores pressure, comparison, and self-worth.

What happens when being assessed doesn’t stop after school?

And how do we learn to step outside of constant evaluation?

This episode is about unlearning the need to be measured, and choosing presence over performance.
