Welcome to The Education Concierge Podcast — where we disrupt the traditional, honor the journey, and build what's next in education, leadership, and life. I'm your host, Benita G., guiding you through conversations that blend passion, strategy, and soul.
Season 10 — A Legacy in Progress — is about shaping what we'll leave behind while living boldly in the present. This season isn't just about the "what" we achieve, but the "how" and "why" behind it.
In this episode, we sit down with Madeline Herrera, founder of Limestone Community School and a person of healing and transformation. After a decade in public schools, Madeline stepped away to create something different — a space where children are active contributors to their learning. You'll hear how first and second graders designed and built homes for people experiencing homelessness, why play is as essential as adequate sleep and nutrition, and how one school is proving that education can heal entire communities.
Shoes off. Hands washed. Mind open. Let's build together.
