🍽️ About Lunchbox Confessionals:

Lunchbox Confessionals is the video podcast where educators spill the truth — uncensored, unexpected, and unapologetically real. Pull up a chair for lunch table conversations that swing from laugh-out-loud gossip to gut-punch moments. In a world where 92% of teachers feel unseen, we’re sharing the highs, heartbreaks, politics, absurdities, and yes… even the stale, mystery sheet cake that's been in the teacher's lounge. Guests can dodge a tough question only by trading it for something from the host’s bizarre lunchbox (crushed Takis, anyone?). Honest, messy, hilarious, and sometimes tear-inducing — this is your permission slip to hear the truths that rarely make it past the classroom door.
