## Resource

No sugarcoating. No filters. Just the messy truth. Today, Brittany and Crystal answer your questions about the "unhinged" life of an early childhood educator. From the "thong-scrunchie" disaster to the reality of SPED issues in private centers, we’re covering it all. Highlights: The Podcast Origin: Why Brittany "blamed" Crystal for starting this. Burnout 101: What we do when the classroom feels like a graveyard of negativity. The "Ban List": Which licensing rules would we throw out the window tomorrow? Teachers After Dark Segment: Don't turn it off yet! In our After Dark segment, we’re talking about the "If the shoe fits" motto. We share why we bloop out names and how you can submit your own messy stories via voicemail without a trace of your real identity.
