What’s the secret ingredient to thriving as an educator? Spoiler alert: it’s not another strategy or tool—it’s relationships. In this heart-filled episode, we’re joined by a special guest who’s been to every walking food tour we've hosted (yes, every single one!) and has seen firsthand the lasting friendships and professional growth that have come from breaking bread together.

We explore:

🍽️ Why in-person conference opportunities matter in education

🚶‍♀️ How Walking Food Tours created an unexpected professional support network

👩‍🏫 The power of relationships in reducing burnout and boosting morale

✨ Simple ways to create community in your school or district

This episode is full of anecdotes from Heather and I and is a good reminder on what to and NOT to do in your organization.
