I’m so glad you’re here.

We've all been told that in order to take care of others, we first have to take care of ourselves... and yet most of us are terrible at this concept. Our hearts bleed for those who need us, and if we aren't careful it is possible that the cost of caring is your own health and happiness.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life it’s that if you don’t control your thoughts, they will control you. From as young as I can remember I have had pervasive fears that weave their way into my thoughts and that can paralyze me momentarily.

One of the best parts of my job is the opportunity to provide coaching support to teachers. My passion is helping other educators reignite their passion for teaching. I believe that all of us need a coach. Someone to help us clarify our goals, identify multiple pathways, support us as we take risks, and to celebrate our successes.

When I was a child, my mom had one rule for public… “no whining, no crying, no begging, no fighting.” Ok, maybe that’s four, but she always said them together. If one of us dared to break this rule we were first given a stern look with quick snapping point of the finger, and on second infraction we were all quickly escorted back to the car where we waited for her to finish her shopping.

We all know an exceptional teacher, but what if I told you that person was only half as great as they could be? Zeno's Dichotomy Paradox as it relates to becoming the best teacher you can be.
