🎉 **BIG NEWS!** 🎉
🚀 I’m officially launching two wildly different (but equally kick-ass) projects into the world:
🎙️ Figurative Lobotomies – the podcast for people who hate podcasts. Expect sharp takes, centrist sanity, curious detours, and the occasional figurative explosion. No preaching. No pandering. Just real talk, strange truths, and the occasional bark from my rescue hounds.
👩🏫 Awesome ESL Kick-Ass Teacher Training Workshop Series – whether you're new to teaching English or burnt out by broken systems, this one’s for you. Real tools. Real talk. Zero fluff. Let's shake up the way we teach and learn.
🧠 For thinkers, misfits, educators, rebels, and anyone sick of being lobotomised by the algorithm.
🐾 Also featuring guest appearances by Scarlett O’Horror and **Willow Armadillo**, my pitbull sidekicks and moral support team.
📌 CALLING ALL EDUCATORS & CURIOUS HUMANS:
