In our first season finale, I’m joined by the woman who helped me find my voice in the first place, my high school English teacher turned lifelong friend, Shala Fjetland. She’s the reason I ever believed I could write at all, and now here we are, decades later, co-piloting a podcast episode that’s part reunion, part reflection, and all heart.

We talk about everything: how she became such a towering influence in my life, why she hasn’t (and won’t) read my memoir, how teaching has changed since the days of overhead projectors, and what our love languages say about us. But maybe most deep of all, we ask each other what truths we’ve been afraid to say out loud.

It’s honest, it’s funny, it’s full of nostalgia and insight. I wouldn’t be who I am without Fjetland, and there’s no better way to close this chapter of The Kameron Show than with the teacher who helped me get here.
