23. Empowerment Through Wanting to be Wrong

September 17, 2025 • Keri Martinez

As educator moms, we often pride ourselves on being “right”—about parenting decisions, classroom management strategies, and even our beliefs about what needs to change in education. Being right gives us a sense of security, control, and empowerment. But what if empowerment can also come from wanting to be wrong? In this episode of the Empowered Educator Mom podcast, we explore why our brains cling so tightly to existing beliefs, how that can hold us back, and how wanting to be wrong opens the door to growth, possibility, and resilience.

Through stories, psychology, and relatable examples, you’ll learn how wanting to be wrong can help you break free from limiting beliefs and empower you to handle personal doubts and challenges.

Wanting to be wrong can be an amazing addition to your empowerment toolkit – one that helps you shift your mindset in powerful ways. Instead of fighting to be right about what’s not working, you’ll learn how to flip the script and empower yourself to see what else might be true.
