In this heartfelt premiere episode of The Educator Experience, Salli sits down with educator and facilitator Sarita Parmar to explore the transformative power of authenticity in the classroom. Together, they unpack how showing up fully—stories, struggles, resilience and all—can deepen connection and elevate learning far beyond the content. Sarita shares how weaving her personal journeys through love, health, and family creates powerful, safe spaces for growth. This episode is a beautiful reminder that our greatest teaching tool is our whole, authentic self.
