She shares her lessons from 30+ years in the education system. These wise words not only apply to teaching or to raising kids but to how you can approach life in general.Please listen, share, and go hug a loved one.

I love New Years. My body just knows that this is the time of year I start fresh and have new energy to tackle all my first world problems.

This episode is perfect for anyone who truly wants to make a change in their life.

#06 - How to Actually Make Resolutions that Work

The end of the year is often a time of reflection on the past and desires for the future. But if we approach it from an angle of expectation, where we thought we should be at this time, what results we wanted to have, we can really stress ourselves out if our reality looks a little different. I caught myself trying to fit the present moment into expectations instead of playing and flowing naturally with what is. This is just a little reminder to help you let go of expectations with me.
