Anna Perry joins the Voices in Montessori podcast to discuss what it really means to be a prepared adult in Montessori education. In this thoughtful conversation, our host, Tamara Sheesley Balis, and Anna discuss how self-awareness, humility, and reflection transform not only our teaching, but our relationships with children, families, and colleagues.

Anna shares practical stories from the classroom that illustrate how letting go of the ego allows us to respond with empathy instead of defensiveness. The conversation explores why conflict is not something to avoid, but an opportunity for growth, connection, and deeper understanding. They also examine the common misconception that "education for peace" means the absence of conflict, when in reality, peace is cultivated through honest communication, courageous conversations, and learning to resolve disagreements with grace.

Whether you're a classroom guide, school leader, assistant, or parent, this episode offers practical strategies for developing emotional intelligence, navigating difficult conversations, fostering healthy school cultures, and embracing the ongoing work of personal transformation.
