About this episode

A special kind of magic happened when Jen and I sat together for this talk. 

The kind of magic that occurs when women connect on so many levels and share their stories and truths. 

I don't want to give too much away but here are some teasers! 

- we discuss our collective trauma from the pandemic and what we must do in order to heal and move forwards 

- we share our experiences of leaving marriages and moving out in the middle of the lockdown 

- how to forgive ourselves, so we can become whole 

- we develop our Apple Pie Theory on healing! 

Settle in and share in the magic. 

Presenter and author Jen Rafferty started her teaching career as a middle school teacher in Central New York for 15 years. She founded Empowered Educator in 2020 as a response to teacher burnout during the pandemic. 

Since it's inception, Empowered Educator has reached teachers and school leaders all over the world. Jen has been featured in Authority Magazine, Thrive Global, and will be featured on the Tedx stage in October 2022. She is the author of the Amazon bestseller, A Place in the Staff: Finding Your Way as a Music Teacher.
