56 All Problems Are Middle School Problems with Pawel Kowalczyk
About this episode
Pawel, a former middle school teacher in an alternative school, lays out how most of our adult problems were ones we first encountered in middle school. From social groups to complex problem solving, they show up again and again in life.
He also talks about how being a high-masking AuDHDer showed up in life.
Books mentioned:
