Being a HyphenatEdD Leader means recognizing that your multiple hyphens—your roles, responsibilities, and impact—do not go unnoticed.

In this episode, Dr. Smarr recount a moment when she didn’t even need a nametag. People already recognized her and the work she bring to the table. It was one of those moments of validation we all need, reminding us that our contributions matter and are being seen.

This is your reminder: lean into being Big in this Space. Give yourself credit for all that you bring—your expertise, your leadership, your commitment. You are known for great things, and it’s okay to own that.

✨ Take a moment today to acknowledge your own impact. You deserve it.
