The Embrace the Messy Podcast with Shannon Schinkel
Welcome! My name is Shannon Schinkel. I’m a mom, wife, blogger, speaker, educator and embracer of all things messy. I’m fueled, fired up, and fierce because I embrace the messy. What do I mean by messy? I’m talking about the challenges, setbacks, and changes that educators face every day. I decided I want to talk to as many individuals as I can who inspire me and continue to help me grow on my learning journey with the hope they will inspire you to...embrace the messy!
