LEAVE EMPTY

For many teachers, teaching alone can be a very stressful profession. Competition for the classroom is an ongoing battle between teachers and students. High demand from school administrators and parents are not easily navigated and teachers are the first to be blamed.

In this episode, I sit down with Dawn Merritt to discuss her 23 years as a public school teacher in Philly. She shares her teaching philosophy and advice to anyone entering this space. Dawn is also an artist who uses her paintbrush and canvas to decompress from the long days of educating some of the most intelligent and challenging students. 

Go with me on this journey with Dawn Merritt as we LEAVE EMPTY!

The pandemic of 2020 continues to be one of the most disruptive times in our history. COVID-19 cases are into the millions and hundreds of thousands have lost their lives. Today I sit down with nurse Lisa West, BSN, RN-BC to discuss her personal experience of being on the frontlines as a caregiver.

Her chilling account of the early days of the pandemic is a reminder that nurses and doctors are essential and amazing human beings. After 21 years of being in the field, Lisa West is standing strong and preparing to LEAVE EMPTY!

Today I sit down with Gina H. Curry to discuss her role as wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and education advocate. 

Gina is also an entrepreneur(Coach Your Vision LLC), DEI and Social Justice Consultant. We take a stroll down memory lane to discover the nuances of her journey and to gain insight into her purpose. 

She is driven by her faith, family and a desire to see that everyone has fair access to equitable opportunities. Come along with us as we LEAVE EMPTY.

Frustration is not a barrier to success, only a speed bump. Stop & Think, slow things down and surround yourself with people who are proven experts.

Leave Empty is about discovering your purpose, potential and legacy. I believe that we are all here for a reason so let’s embrace it. Many of us are full of potential but don’t leave lasting legacies. Go with me on this journey and discuss, discover and explore all of your possibilities. Make your life count!

Leave Empty is all about discovering and embracing your purpose. Many of us go through our entire lives, never really appreciating our potential. All of us have the ability to leave a lasting legacy for generations behind us. Go on this journey with me and let’s LEAVE EMPTY!
