❄️ Winter break is more than time off. It’s a chance to pause, reflect, and reset. In Episode 12, we slow things down to talk about true rest after a demanding season in education, share personal milestones (including our anniversary and a big life decision), and look ahead to a major challenge that’s on the horizon.

Over the past two months, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, I’ve had the privilege of collecting Christmas gifts for students in need 💛 At the same time, I’ve been intentional about supporting our staff by gathering a large snack donation to help restock classroom snack supplies. SO many educators use their own money to care for students.

These tangible gifts can help ease a burden.

But teachers need more than supplies to truly stay well.

They need:

⏳Time.
🎗️ Support.
🫶 Understanding, trust, and realistic expectations.
✊ Boundaries that are respected.
🤗 To feel valued.

🗣️Educators: what do YOU need to stay well as an educator?
Your answers will help inspire an upcoming podcast episode. 🎙️

"Episode 9: Lazy? Or Something Deeper?" is out and you don't want to miss it!

In this episode, we unpack the tricky topic of student (and athlete) motivation. Sometimes a lack of effort is just that: low motivation or comfort with the bare minimum. But other times, there’s more beneath the surface: fear, overwhelm, unmet needs, or burnout. Join us as we talk through how to tell the difference, how to respond with empathy and accountability, and how to help kids tap into their “why.”
