    Summer is over, and it's completely fine to admit that losing your freedom hurts. Before the kids walk through the door, we're skipping the fake cheeriness and getting real about what it takes to transition back into the classroom.

    In this Season 2 kickoff, we break down three mental resets for pre-service week:

    • Setting firm boundaries around your time before the chaos starts
    • Focusing on the first sound instead of stressing about the whole semester
    • Dropping the need for Day 1 perfection to focus on real connection

    Grab your coffee, take a breath, and let’s get ready for the year ahead!
