After a year of being mostly quiet, I'm back behind the microphone! In this episode, I share where I've been, why I stepped back from creating content, and what's next for A Waldorf Journey.

I talk about my unexpected return to the classroom, the balance of teaching and school leadership, and why I'm excited to have more time this year to mentor teachers, create resources, and record podcasts again—even if they're a little more spontaneous than before.

I also share updates about my Summer Vision planning course, mentoring opportunities for the coming school year, and the ways you can work with me this summer.
