Summer break is here—but before you fill every day with appointments, activities, and professional development, let’s pause. This episode is all about helping you find a better balance between rest, personal growth, boundaries, and just the right amount of planning.

Whether you’re someone who jumps directly into prep mode or someone who needs some solid nap time or lazy mornings (or both!), this episode will help you use your summer with intention—not obligation.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

✅ Why true rest matters—and how to define what that looks like for you
✅ Ways to grow personally that have nothing to do with IEPs or PD hours
✅ How to set boundaries that protect your time (and your sanity)
✅ What a “Do Not Do” list is—and why you need one
✅ How to make peace with not doing all the things this summer
