Teaching Teaching is not me standing above you. Teaching is me standing with you, in the middle of the moment that’s shaping us both. Teaching is exposure— the first contact with something that interrupts your old self. Teaching is attention— the sacred act of turning toward what matters, even when it stings. Teaching is meaning-making— the alchemy where your story meets the new truth and decides what to keep, what to release, and what to rewrite. Teaching is practice— the messy, holy repetition where knowledge stops being theory and starts becoming muscle. Teaching is feedback— the refining fire that doesn’t shame you, but sharpens you. Teaching is rest— the quiet integration where the lesson settles in and becomes part of your bones. Teaching is identity shift— the moment you realize you’re not learning anymore. You’re becoming. Teaching, to me, is this: I don’t hand you answers. I walk you through the doorway until you recognize yourself on the other side.
