I’m launching a podcast! It’s designed to share, reflect & grow together on the journey of being your authentic self. Teachers are so much more than the person in the classroom. We go beyond the desk & really tap into the parts of being yourself. 

Follow along & join the journey as we keep Teaching [and Learning] from Beyond the Desk. 

The trailer is live on Spotify—and will launch everywhere podcasts are found on 4/26.

A big goal this year for me is to be mindful about A big goal this year for me is to be mindful about hydration. I have gotten in the habit of filling all my most-loved water bottles & setting them on my desk the night before. 

This strategy has been working.
