What keeps great leaders and teachers going when the work feels heavy and the energy starts to fade?
In this heart-centered conversation, my amazing guest, Dr. Julie Schmidt Hasson, explores what it truly means to sustain passion in education, long after the initial excitement wears off. Together, we unpack the practices that fuel resilience, the power of self-compassion in leadership, and the small moments of joy that remind us why we chose this work in the first place.
If you’ve ever felt your battery running low, this episode offers more than motivation. It's a gentle reminder that thriving leaders don’t just pour into others; they learn how to refill themselves too.
