💥 From First Kisses to Fire Drills: We’re Back & Slightly Unhinged | NPD Podcast Ep. 12

This week on the Non-Professional Development Podcast, we’re officially back… and it shows. We're talking awkward first kisses, ugly sweaters, classroom flashbacks, and stop, drop, & roll chaos — all while trying to predict the future of the pod with absolutely no real plan. It’s nostalgic, chaotic, slightly emotional, and definitely unhinged — so business as usual.

🎧 What to Expect:

– A surprise time machine trip to fire safety week

– First kisses, middle school memories, and the rise of the ugly sweater

– Ted’s thoughts on the word “hence” (yes, really)

– Back-from-break vibes, podcast direction talk, and how we reset

– End-of-summer denial meets the teacher version of crisis mode

🙌 Why Tune In?

Because we're all crawling out of summer and pretending to be functional again.

This episode is part throwback, part teacher therapy, and part “What even is this podcast anymore?”
