Episode 250: A Passion for Learning: Education, Resilience, and the New Year

With Chad back as host to kick off the new year, we’re honored to welcome Dr. Meghan Waldron — a mother, partner, educator, and passionate advocate for education in its truest form. Deeply committed to K–12 learning environments, Dr. Waldron believes education extends far beyond academics and plays a vital role in cultivating resilience, confidence, and lifelong growth. In this episode, Chad dives into Dr. Waldron’s background, educational journey, and the experiences that have shaped her passion for education. Dr. Waldron shares her personal experience navigating life with MS and how the strength of her community helped her recognize and lean into her own innate resilience. She also speaks openly about the importance of mental health and creating space for honest, supportive conversations in schools and communities. This conversation sets a meaningful tone for the year ahead, grounded in learning, connection, and the power of resilient minds.
