In Episode 208, we’re focusing on those students. The challenging ones. The ones we didn’t quite connect with. The ones who made us question our abilities. The ones whose departure had us rewriting our studio policies the very same day.
While these moments can feel like failures, they often offer the greatest opportunities for growth. Reflecting on the not-so-successful student experiences helps us become stronger teachers, clearer communicators, and more grounded mentors. Sometimes, it’s the ones who leave that teach us the most.
