In this episode, I reflect on the school shooting in Bend, Oregon, and the emotional impact these tragedies have on educators, students, families, and entire school communities. I explore the difference between resilience and hypervigilance, why we need to process our emotions instead of rushing back to normal, and how grief and anger can offer insight into what matters and what needs to change.

In this special preview episode, I share clips from my Flip the Fall Dip 2026 series, exploring the highs and lows of school culture and the emotional energy that shapes our experience as leaders. I discuss why the shift from the excitement of a new school year to the daily grind can feel like something has gone wrong, how we absorb the emotions of the people around us, and why physical, mental, and emotional fatigue can leave us focused on everything that isn't working.

In this episode, I explore internal data and why understanding your own thoughts, beliefs, emotions, values, and intuition is essential for effective leadership. We often focus so much on external data that we overlook the internal guidance that helps us interpret what we see, make aligned decisions, and understand what we truly need. I share why external data alone cannot create meaningful change and how paying attention to your internal compass can help you lead with greater clarity and confidence.

In this episode, I explore the difference between hypervigilance and resilience and how I once confused the two in my own leadership journey. I look at why hypervigilance can feel productive and responsible, especially for school leaders who are used to managing endless demands, but how it can also disconnect us from ourselves, our needs, and our own wisdom. True resilience is not about avoiding hard moments; it's about trusting yourself to process challenges, learn from them, and move forward.

I discuss how comparison, self-doubt, and the belief that we are not enough can quietly influence the decisions we make, the support we accept, and the opportunities we allow ourselves to pursue. I also unpack the difference between truly belonging versus simply trying to fit in by pleasing others or hiding parts of ourselves.

As leaders, we talk about empowerment all the time, but the truth is, we naturally move in and out of it. Whether it's a difficult conversation, a challenging staff situation, or something happening outside your school, it's easy to feel thrown off and pulled into fear. In this episode, I break down what it really means to stay in your power and why it can feel so hard in the moments when you need it most.

Tune in this week to learn how to regulate your nervous system, challenge fear-based thinking, and access the part of your brain that allows you to lead with courage, clarity, and self-trust, even in the most uncomfortable situations. You'll also discover intentional questions that will help you move out of reactivity and back into empowered decision-making.

In the spring season of school leadership, the movement of staff members becomes part of the HR landscape. Retirements, leaves, resignations, internal transfers, and district reassignments can all create a ripple effect across your campus, and those changes can bring up a mix of emotions that leaders do not always expect.

Tune in this week to discover what it means to lead yourself through employee movement with intention. You'll learn how to acknowledge the duality of your emotions when staff move on, how to self-coach when someone joins your team and you already have concerns, and how to respond when district staffing decisions feel frustrating or unjust. I also walk you through the difference between reacting, staying silently resentful, and processing your emotions so you can respond as the most empowered version of yourself.

As leaders, we often notice that accountability conversations feel very different depending on the person involved. Some staff naturally hold themselves accountable and welcome feedback. Others are eager to grow and see accountability as a collaborative process. And then there are the situations that feel much harder, where discomfort, fear, or uncertainty start to creep in.

Join me this week as I dive into the concept of impartial accountability and why it can feel so challenging for school leaders, especially during the spring season when evaluations, observations, and staffing decisions are front and centre. You'll hear questions you can ask yourself when accountability feels difficult, how your past experiences with accountability might be influencing your leadership, and why documenting concerns and communicating expectations early in the year matters.

You'll also hear how dual language programs can reduce isolation for multilingual learners, why this work is not just a programme choice, but a deeper commitment to belonging and opportunity, and practical ideas for leaders who do not currently have a dual language programme but want to better serve multilingual students right now.

As winter wraps up and spring begins in the school year, it's easy to slip from proactive leadership into reactive mode. Evaluations, HR decisions, IEP meetings, staffing conversations, and mounting expectations can create a snowball effect that leaves you feeling overwhelmed, even if you're technically "getting it all done."

Tune in this week as I explore what happens when you move from a success cycle into an overwhelm cycle and the signs it's time for a rhythm reset. You'll learn how to identify the problem behind the problem, how internal chaos often shows up as external clutter, and how small intentional resets can restore clarity, alignment, and momentum.

Tune in this week as I dive into the emotional experiences that come with leadership. You'll learn how to differentiate between relief and satisfaction, why true satisfaction comes from holding space for discomfort, and how to empower yourself as a leader by making conscious decisions rather than seeking quick fixes.

This is not a conversation about politics. It's a conversation about what it means to lead humans through difficult moments and why ignoring the emotional experience only creates more strain, disconnection, and burnout.

Join me this week to hear how leadership always moves from the inside out and why allowing yourself to fully process emotions creates the bandwidth needed to hold space for others. We'll talk about how to bring humanity back into education through small, intentional actions and courageous conversations that prioritize connection, compassion, and empowerment at every level of your school community.

But what if I told you that shame could actually be a powerful tool to redirect you towards greater alignment and personal growth?

Join me on this episode as I dive into the uncomfortable feeling of shame, especially in the context of school leadership. We explore the different layers of shame, from the shame of acting out of alignment with your values to the shame that arises from procrastination. But most importantly, we'll discuss how to turn shame into a call to action, rather than letting it paralyze you. You'll learn how to process and repair your mistakes, stay aligned with your leadership vision, and use shame to propel you forward.

Maybe it's fresh carpet in the office, a wellness room, or simply air fresheners to combat that musty smell. But then that voice creeps in: "Who am I to want this? We should be grateful for what we have." Here's what I've learned after years of coaching school leaders: When you resist luxury, you're not just denying yourself - you're denying your entire school community.

If you find yourself struggling to embrace luxury as a school leader, this episode is for you. Listen in to learn how luxury is actually a feeling we experience, not just something we buy, the difference between wanting to say yes but saying no, and how pushing through that discomfort of embracing luxury opens the door for more to come in.

It's about the energetic experience you have as a human walking on your campus, feeling proud of who you are, what you stand for, and the commitment of your teachers and students.

Tune in this week to hear why we feel shame around our desire for luxury and how to reclaim the luxury that's already in your life. You'll learn how to hold the duality of luxury, which means embracing both the good and the balance that comes with it. This episode will help you expand your capacity to receive the luxuries you already have while creating space for new ones.

Join me today to hear how education itself is both essential and a luxury, and why the privilege of being in the field of education is something worth celebrating. We'll dive into how leadership could feel luxurious - not in terms of expensive cars or fancy vacations - but in the satisfaction, fulfillment, and pride you experience every single day.

Maybe it's the pressure of sending hundreds of greeting cards, hosting the perfect party, or dealing with difficult family conversations. The truth is, most of us are trying so hard to meet everyone else's expectations that we forget to ask ourselves what we actually want. And once you fall into this pattern, the holidays become more about obligation than celebration.

My 10-year-old niece came over the other night to bake brownies. When I asked if she'd found the recipe online, she said, "No, I just created it. I made it up and I want to try it." Her confidence in her creative ability stopped me in my tracks. Because here's what I realized: We're all born creators, but somewhere along the way, we forget.

Join me this week as I explore how we've all used this creative ability before. You'll hear why everything in life is a form of art, including leadership, how your feelings about yourself directly impact your leadership outcomes, and a powerful reframe for those moments when you feel like circumstances are happening to you rather than being created by you.

We're clinging to the old paradigm where we're the authority figures, students comply without question, and everyone understands the value of school. Deep down, we school leaders know that world doesn't exist anymore. We're struggling to articulate the value of what we offer, grappling with the very purpose of school itself, while students and families seem to be questioning whether they're buying what we're selling anymore.

Tune in this week to discover why it's time to have courageous conversations about education's future, how confusion might be at the root of our exhaustion and overwhelm, and what happens when we finally sit down to talk about what we really want school to look like and feel like. This isn't about going back to the way things were. It's about stepping up to the leadership table and navigating the discomfort of not having all the answers while still moving forward.

Since the pandemic, there's been an explosion of change in how people view school. Students question why they need to attend. Parents wonder if the curriculum still matters. And you're caught in the middle, trying to uphold standards while the ground shifts beneath your feet. The truth is, we're experiencing a massive disconnect between what educators believe school should be and what our communities actually want. And that disconnect? It's drowning us in doubt.

Join me this week as I explore why there's such a disconnect between educator expectations and community values, and how to recalibrate the purpose of school for today's reality. If you've been feeling like you're losing at the game of education, this episode will help you understand why, and show you a path forward.

If you're a veteran principal feeling disconnected from your work, you're not alone. I recently coached a highly successful principal in her fourth year who confessed she felt bored. Not overwhelmed. Not stressed. Just... blah.

If you're catching yourself thinking, "What's the point?" as you face another round of observations or another behavior investigation, this episode is for you. You'll learn why you're feeling this way, and how to bring fresh energy to your role and rediscover the excitement you felt when you first landed this position.

In fact, I remember spending countless hours trying to win over teachers who didn't like me. Stewing over their eye rolls, analyzing their non-verbals, and desperately trying to figure out what I did wrong. The truth? I was wasting precious time and energy that could have been spent actually leading. That's why this week's episode is a game-changer.

Join me this week to learn about the 1/3 perspective: a simple but powerful framework that completely transformed how I approach relationships as a school leader. You'll discover why chasing approval from those who don't like you is actually preventing you from being an effective leader, and how accepting this natural distribution of relationships can free up your time and energy for what really matters. Most importantly, you'll learn how to use the discomfort of not being liked as curriculum for your own growth and expansion as a leader.

As an educational leadership coach, I've noticed a universal pattern - that nervous feeling around authority figures. Whether it's a fear of criticism, worry about disappointing them, or anxiety about being micromanaged, these physical reactions to authority figures in education aren't just about the present moment - they're deeply rooted in patterns that shape how we show up as leaders.

Join me this week as I peel back the layers and examine what you're actually afraid of. I share the real reasons behind anxiety around your boss or superintendent, and three powerful questions that will help you understand your emotions so you can transform that anxiety into empowered leadership.

We've all had that experience - walking into one room where everything flows perfectly, then stepping into another where something feels... off. Even before we see any tangible evidence. That's not coincidence. That's energy.

The most exceptional school leaders understand that teaching and learning isn't just about what it looks like. It's about what it actually is. Join me this week as I challenge you to think differently about your classroom walkthroughs and observations, and explore how, by tuning into the energy of each classroom, leaders can move beyond compliance toward creating environments where everyone genuinely wants to be.

The parent confronted my client, confused about the conflicting stories, and suddenly she found herself in a situation where someone's telling the truth and someone's not. When we feel accused of lying or our integrity is questioned, our fight or flight response can kick in faster than we can think, leading to defensiveness or shutdown.

Join me this week to discover what to do when you're accused of lying. We'll explore why children tell different stories at school versus home, and how to stay emotionally regulated and curious instead of reactive so you can maintain your leadership position.

When staff members feel unappreciated, whether they're teachers facing demanding parents or support staff feeling overlooked, there's a fundamental shift happening in their sense of identity and empowerment. The challenge here isn't just about getting more appreciation. It's about understanding why we need it and what happens when we don't get it the way we expect.

Tune in this week to discover practical ways to help your staff reconnect with their internal validation and professional identity. I share strategies for creating a culture of equal value where every role is recognized as an essential puzzle piece. Most importantly, you'll learn how to guide your team back to appreciating themselves first, making external recognition the cherry on top rather than the foundation of their professional worth.

Join us on this episode to discover how vulnerability and emotional connection unlock learning in ways that control never could. Lori and I examine why SEL often fails when treated as compliance rather than literacy, and she shares how teaching SEL skills transforms not just student behavior, but educator wellbeing.

Her story reveals that the solution to imposter syndrome isn't trying to fit into someone else's shoes - it's bringing your authentic self and unique talents to create something that didn't exist before.

School leaders step into their roles with dreams of transformation, yet impact doesn't automatically materialize with credentials or titles. It emerges through conscious creation - a co-creation between you and a higher power when you're tuned in and aligned with yourself. 

Join me this week to learn how the path to creating lasting impact involves processing emotions in real time rather than avoiding them. You'll discover how to separate your identity from others' behaviors and criticisms, fuel your desire for impact even when facing injustice, and decide whether this is your season for transformation or restoration.

The pressure to improve student attendance, boost test scores, enhance behavior management systems, and implement multiple district initiatives simultaneously creates an impossible burden that leads to burnout and resentment across entire school communities. The reality is that while you can improve anything you want this year, you cannot improve everything you want.

This episode explores the fundamental difference between "everything planning" and "anything planning" - a distinction that could transform how you approach the 2025-26 school year.

If you're like most school leaders, you probably measure your success by how many tasks you complete and deadlines you meet. But here's the truth: that approach is keeping you stuck in a loop of doing without ever feeling truly accomplished.

As we enter a new school year, I'm inviting leaders to shift from purely deadline-driven planning to outcome-based vision that considers not just what needs to be done, but who we need to be while doing it.

In this episode, I explore why we ask "how" questions and what they reveal about our beliefs in our own capabilities.

This is the reality of school leadership - where the challenges pile up faster than the successes register, and where your mind's ability to coach itself through the overwhelm sometimes falls short. 

In this special episode, I'm offering something completely different from my usual teaching and strategies. This is an empowerment meditation - a tool I've been using since 2022 when my own identity began to crumble in what I call an "identity quake." This meditation is designed for those moments when your emotional reaction is more powerful than your ability to redirect your thoughts.

Suddenly you're being asked to create an impossible reality where children never experience discomfort, rejection, or disagreement. These situations reveal a fundamental gap between what parents expect (no conflict ever) and what we know as educators about human development. So, as a school leader, what are your options here?

Tune in this week to explore how to shift conversations with parents from conflict elimination to conflict navigation, helping them understand that conflict serves a crucial developmental purpose when we equip children with the right tools to handle it. On top of that, what I share today can be applied to conflict at all levels, from kindergarteners through to your teaching staff.

When students are struggling with everything from friendship drama to thoughts of self-harm, the gap between needing help and getting it can feel insurmountable. And school leaders carry the weight of hundreds or thousands of students' well-being on their shoulders, knowing they can't possibly reach every child who needs support.

In this episode, I'm joined by Iuri Melo, a licensed clinical social worker and founder of School Pulse, to discuss a proactive approach to student mental health that's transforming how schools support their students. After losing seven students to suicide in his Southern Utah community in 2017, Iuri and his team developed a text-based support system that connects students with trained professionals 365 days a year. The service emerged from a principal's desperate plea for tools that could reach students before crisis struck, not just react after tragedy occurred.

Listen in to hear how, through real-time text conversations initiated twice weekly, School Pulse creates a bridge between students and support that feels safe, accessible, and immediate.

As school leaders, we encounter unfairness in various forms - from promotion decisions to resource allocation to systemic inequities affecting our students and families. I've found that managing these experiences requires understanding how our minds and bodies respond to perceived injustice.

In this episode, I share practical insights for acknowledging and safely expressing these difficult emotions without causing harm to ourselves or others. While solutions aren't always available, we can learn to validate our experiences, maintain our personal power, and find healthy ways to process these universal human experiences that impact us as leaders.

Through sports analogies and real-world examples, I explore why we shouldn't let a single data point define our identity as educational leaders. Just as elite athletes aren't defined by one game's outcome, principals and schools can't be reduced to a single test score. Our capacity to lead, inspire, and create positive change comes from within - not from external metrics.

This is a fascinating dynamic in education that doesn't exist in most other industries - the intense attachment parents develop to specific teachers rather than to the educational experience itself.

How do you deal with the unnecessary tension this teacher-attachment cycle creates between school leaders and families who feel entitled to specific teaching personnel? Tune in this week for a leadership approach that honors teachers as professionals with career aspirations while ensuring students receive high-quality education regardless of who stands at the front of the classroom.

She was dragging herself to work despite being sick for two weeks, feeling guilty about the burden she was placing on her husband at home. This sparked an important conversation about how, particularly as women, we're conditioned to be A+ at everything—partners, parents, friends, housekeepers, and school leaders—often at the expense of our own wellbeing.

Many of us feel stretched too thin—not feeling "good enough" in our various roles as educators, parents, partners, or friends. This overwhelming sensation often stems from trying to do too much without clear intention. When we operate on autopilot, moving robotically through our days, we miss the richness life has to offer.

This week, I invite you to raise the bar—not from a place of insufficiency, but from a desire for greater satisfaction and joy.
