Welcome to Roots L.E.A.D. to Results—a weekly podcast that brings soul-deep encouragement to educators who are tired of surviving and ready to serve from a place of alignment, clarity, and conviction.
I’m Lisa Karosas—science teacher, curriculum designer, and believer that classrooms change when teachers are rooted.
This podcast is my own accountability check-in: a chance to slow down, reflect on the bigger picture, and disciple through my daily work right alongside you.
Each week follows a simple rhythm—L.E.A.D.—
-
L: Let Go & Lead Yourself
-
E: Establish Rhythms that Sustain You
-
A: Align with What Actually Matters
-
D: Disciple Through Your Daily Work
Through scripture, storytelling, and reflections on the realities of teaching, this podcast will help you reconnect with your calling, rediscover your voice, and refocus your energy on what matters most—not just in your classroom, but in your life.
Whether you're a science teacher or not, if you're craving grounded leadership, grace-filled persistence, and a reminder that you're not alone—you’re in the right place.
Let’s grow the roots that lead to lasting results.

Finding Freedom From The Comparison Trap

Ever catch yourself looking sideways—at the neighbor down the hall, at your favorite social media personalities, or even to a standard that says what you 'should be doing'?
Does it make you feel like you might not be ... enough?!
In this episode of Roots L.E.A.D. to Results, we’re talking about how comparison clouds our vision, chips away at our confidence, and distracts us from the path we’ve been called to walk.
But Proverbs 4 reminds us:
“Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you... Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.” — Proverbs 4:25–27
This isn’t about pretending the distractions don’t exist. It’s about choosing what we fix our gaze on.
Inside this week’s reflection, you’ll hear:
-
A personal story about navigating comparison in the classroom
-
A reminder that your race is already marked out—and it’s worth running
-
Encouragement to realign with truth when “not enough” starts creeping in
If you’ve been feeling unsteady or discouraged, this episode is a gentle call to come back to center.
Let’s walk forward with grace—and with our eyes fixed on what matters most.
