What if education didn’t feel like pressure, panic, or performance?
In this episode of The Heather Petero Show, Heather sits down with Lisa Renea Shaw—educator, author, language-lover, and founder of My Other Tongue—for a grounded, honest conversation about raising whole humans in a very loud world.
Lisa brings calm, clarity, and conviction to topics many parents feel overwhelmed by: bilingual education, confidence, faith, and the “soft skills” that turn out to be anything but soft—empathy, resilience, self-control, and belonging.
Together, they talk about:
Why bilingualism is an asset—not a problem to fix
The myth that kids get “confused” by multiple languages
How storytelling opens doors that lectures never will
Why hustle culture is stealing our kids’ confidence
And how building simple systems can bring more peace to family life
This episode is thoughtful, funny, and refreshingly pressure-free—no PowerPoints, no shame, no panic spirals.
🎧 If you’re a parent, educator, or creative who wants education to feel more human and less frantic, this one’s for you.
