What would happen if the Department of Education were eliminated? In this episode, host Teryl Singleton breaks down the potential consequences of dissolving this federal agency and how it could impact students, financial aid, grants, and education standards across the U.S. Joined by special guest Luther, they discuss the vital role the DOE plays in college funding, public school systems, and education policies that shape the future of millions.
Many Americans don’t fully understand how much the Department of Education affects their daily lives—until it’s gone. From Pell Grants to work-study programs, federal education funding supports students from all backgrounds. Without it, access to affordable education could become even more challenging, disproportionately affecting low-income and minority communities.
Teryl and Luther also explore the broader implications of government control over essential programs, questioning what’s at stake when major policy changes are proposed. Would eliminating the DOE create more problems than solutions? What can citizens do to protect access to education?
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how this issue could reshape America’s education system and why elections truly have consequences. Don’t miss this eye-opening conversation!

About Your Host

Hello, my name is Teryl Singleton. Jr and I am a certified life coach. It is my goal to help people. Too help them transition to a better, more authentic version of themselves. Too see them make a difference in their lives, achieving their goals and dreams. Moving them passed fear and into an empowerment that enhances their lives.
I have held jobs in the service industries and a need to help people when no one else would is what I brought to all of them. I took it as my responsibility. Each of us has an essential drive that defines us and others perception of us. This is mine.
My skills developed while helping my family and friends discover their value. Showing them it is right they should never settle for anything less than their worth. I made social media videos about growth, putting yourself first and achieving your dreams but it was in connecting with my Life Coach that I found my calling. By using my voice as a powerful tool, because words have always held power and I listen to theirs with all my attention.
How else am I to help? Knowing is half the battle, after all.
That drive is now a promise to my client’s. I keep it by creating a safe space for them to be open, where they know they are accepted and not judged. Where emotions are shared and connections made. It is such a fulfilling feeling, knowing you have had an impact on someone life, that you were their breath of fresh air.
With all the disturbing things people see each day, it’s time for more positivity in our lives. And people are the innovators; the motivators; the self-creators. Their imagination is what makes an idea become reality. And I will be the one who made that difference in them.
