At the Heart of a Brave

"I lost a game of rock-paper-scissors, and that’s how I ended up staying home." ✂️📄🪨

Meet Kacie Owen. A military veteran of eight years, Kacie’s path to the Union County Middle School reading classroom went from the service to the banking world before a providential "shadowing" opportunity changed everything.

In this episode, we discuss: 

🎖️ Train the Way You Fight: How Kacie uses military structure to help students succeed.

👾 The Gremlin Phase: Why she loves the "organized chaos" of middle schoolers (just don’t add water!). 

📚 Bringing Books to Life: The "aha" moment when words on a page finally click for her students.

Kacie’s story is a powerful reminder that grit, truth, and a little bit of nerdy passion can make a world of difference.
