DWelcome back to Season 2! In this opening episode, Dr. Trenette reflects on her summer sabbatical and the powerful lessons she learned about rest, renewal, and resistance. From presenting in Paris to glamping in South Carolina and soaking up sunshine in Jamaica, she shares how stepping back created space for new ideas, creativity, and joy.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Insights from international conferences and cultural experiences that sparked fresh perspectives.
• Honest reflections on what it feels like when everyone suddenly “needs you” the moment you take a break.
• Why rest is more than self-care. 
• Practical strategies for protecting your time and creating healthier rhythms for yourself and your team (like ending meetings at :50 instead of :00).
• A sneak peek at what’s ahead in Season 2 from grant writing strategies and mindset shifts to leadership and self-care.
