This week on Teachers Off Duty, things get REAL and real hilarious. The crew is back with stories that prove the skills teachers develop inside the classroom definitely transfer to the real world. From classroom Halloween raves and chaotic reward parties to managing wild admin moments and protecting your students like your own, this episode is a masterclass in what it means to be an educator, a human, and an all-around legend.

We talk about why yelling isn’t always the answer, how kids know when you’re authentic, and how our teacher instincts show up in our friendships, relationships, and even in public at airports (yes, we’ll stop and take a selfie).

Also: pet spiders in backpacks, snapping turtles in class, chaotic sibling energy, and why your wedding planner should 100% be a teacher.

This episode is packed with the kind of unfiltered, behind-the-scenes storytelling that reminds us why teaching is more than just a job—it’s a lifestyle. Whether we’re calling out a colleague for stepping out of line, building lifelong bonds with students, or navigating the emotional rollercoaster of showing up every day with heart, humor, and hustle, one thing is clear: teachers are built different. And if you’ve ever wondered what happens when passion meets pure chaos, this episode is your answer.

Come laugh, reflect, and maybe cry a little—because we really do it all
