In this episode of Breaking, we sit down with Vanessa Pimentel, who has taught grades K to 12 in Ontario for over 11 years.


In the last two years, Vanessa taught grade 8 in Brampton, Ontario. She is currently taking some time off from the School Board to explore other areas in teaching - with a focus on holistic education. She hopes to take everything she has learned and open her own education centre for children in the future. 


IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:


• Growing up with her grandmother and how it nurtured her ability to connect with people on a deeper level.


• Her struggles with adjusting to school and how it affected her decision to become a teacher.


• Wanting to be accepted in school vs following your own intuition.


• Being diagnosed with cancer and her downward spiral taking control of her life.


• Her road to recovery.


• How she learned to love herself.


• And much more.
