What if your child woke up excited to go to school, not because of prizes or grades, but because the learning itself was a joyful experience?

In this thoughtful exchange from the Now What? Podcast, Paula Lillard Preschlack, AMI-trained educator and author of The Montessori Potential, joins Yogi Patel—fellow AMI-trained guide, founder of TTE, and founder of two Montessori schools—to share what true joy in learning looks like, and how that same sense of purpose can transform our workplaces and homes.

They discuss:
•How Montessori classrooms foster joy, purpose, and self-motivation
•Why joyful environments don’t happen by accident—they’re intentionally prepared
•What leaders and educators can do to build that same trust and connection in teams

Both Paula and Yogi are Association Montessori Internationale–trained guides and advocates for education that honors the whole human being.

This message is for:
•Parents seeking a better way to raise resilient, motivated children
•Educators committed to respectful, transformative classrooms
•Leaders looking to bring purpose, collaboration, and trust into their teams

The Daily Unpacking - Felipe Munoz Felipe Thank you for tuning in.My hyperactive mind experiences the world around me frantically, processing thousands of thoughts, comments, observations and experiences on the daily.I am suffocating with all of them within. That is what this podcast is inspired by.I intend to operate under empathetic and kind values, always. But I am just perfectly flawed, trying to make sense of the world, humanity and the universe as a whole.(This used to be a daily podcast with my girl and I, now it is just I)Be well. Now What? by Good News Church Good News Church Welcome to Now What?, the podcast where Sunday’s sermon turns into a Monday conversation. Think of it like hanging with friends who love to laugh, learn, and ask our pastors the questions you were already thinking (and a few they probably wish we wouldn’t). Each week, we explore Scripture, wrestle with real-life faith, and figure out what following Jesus looks like right now, right where we live. Real talk. Honest moments. Practical steps for following Jesus in everyday life. The Live Free Podcast with Micala Quinn Micala Quinn How do I get started? What if I fail? Who will hire me?
