What does your soul need? Do you ever think about it? It’s not the word that comes up most often on my podcast so I was really moved when Patricia Medranda referred to her desire to teach middle school kids as something her soul needed.
Had she always dreamed of becoming a teacher? Not even close – she originally wanted to be a surgeon. After her first career pause, she worked for a pharmaceutical company. And then she paused again.
In her interview, she shares how her early interest in medicine served her as a mom and a daughter attending to the medical needs of her children and her father. And she shares how she developed a love for teaching through her volunteer work with the Hemophilia Foundation.
