Be Your Own Life Coach | Episode: The Failure of Education

"Ever feel like school failed to prepare you for actual life? You're not alone—and you're not stuck." – Bretagne

In this eye-opening episode, we dig into the cracks of the U.S. education system and how its industrial-era roots prioritized obedience over curiosity. From the overemphasis on memorization and standardized tests to the glaring absence of life skills, emotional intelligence, and creative thinking—this system wasn’t designed to empower free-thinking individuals. It was built to produce workers.

What we explore:

• The hidden history of our education system

• Why critical thinking was left out of the curriculum

• How outdated teaching models impact society today (hello, groupthink and fear of failure)

• The emotional toll of not being taught how to think—only what to think

• Why it's never too late to reclaim your education

Featuring deep reflection questions like:

• What do you wish school had taught you?

• How has fear of "not knowing" shaped your adult life?

• What belief about learning no longer serves you?

Plus, in our “Coach Yourself” segment, you'll get practical prompts to start learning again—on your terms. Because learning isn’t a system; it’s a personal revolution.

Tune in and ignite your inner student. You’re not behind—you’re right on time.
