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.

In this episode, we explore the power of a purpose-driven mindset in teaching and its deep connection to the service-oriented nature of our profession.
I share my personal journey from pursuing a master's degree in chemistry to embracing the art and practice of education, reflecting on why academic qualifications don’t always equate to effective teaching. And, I introduce a new kind of PhD for teachers to consider growing into, one rooted in Purpose, Heart, and Determination—the foundations for cultivating trust, relationships, and meaningful academic growth in our students.
Get ready to reflect on what drives us as educators and how we can grow stronger in service, students, and science. Let’s plant the seeds of growth and harvest the fruits of lasting learning together!
