In Part One of this two-part conversation, I’m joined by my wonderful friend Rajni — an educator in the San Francisco public school system, originally from New York, and also a life coach for teachers. We talk about the cultural expectations that shaped her early choices, her burnout as a science teacher, and what it looked like to reclaim her time, energy, and voice.Rajni shares how she went from people-pleasing and exhaustion to developing real boundaries and stepping into a fuller version of herself — one that includes creativity, coaching, and self-care. It’s a conversation about redefining success, recovering space, and finding what’s actually sustainable in the helping professions.🎧 Part Two gets more personal — you won’t want to miss it.
