Do Your Fudging Homework:

  • Annie: make a summer goal for yourself, either to have more adventures outside, get involved in a political cause, or drink more water. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy, just give yourself something to look forward to and something you’ll be proud of yourself for accomplishing. 

  • Hope: to piggy back off that–if you’re someone who plans a million things for your kids or cats, do something for yourself as well.

Essential Question: What lessons, memories, or moments do we want to remember from the summer of 2023?

As the sun sets on the summer of 2023, how do we want to remember the last several months? To celebrate the launch of the IWL_Podcast Instagram account, we are going to use some Insta lingo to help us categorize the events of the summer months. What would we use as our “lessons I learned from my summer” topics in a back-to-school assignment in a creative writing class? What do we want to bury deep in the recesses of our minds, never to think about again (aka permanently delete)? In this episode we save, archive, delete, and repost.

  • Hope & Megan: create your metaphorical “save”/archive for later and make a plan to revisit those monthly to keep your spirits up, grounded in joy, etc.

EQ: What are you doing for YOUR hot teacher summer?

The 3 Interchangeable White Ladies are back together and in studio for the first time since pre-Covid times! Hope and Megan are joined by none other than the amazing Annie, who gives an update on her life and the major changes that have happened since the last time that she was on the Podcast. The ladies discuss how Covid provided time and space to reflect on your own happiness, and also learn how to honor the things that serve you and let go of the things that don’t. The back half of the episode is dedicated to celebrating the time honored tradition (can something be called a tradition if it’s the first time we are doing it?!) of Hot Teacher Summer! They talk about what they are doing to relax and unwind and have the best summer after a hellish year!
