In this episode of The Principal’s Handbook, we dive deep into understanding and managing overwhelm—a common but conquerable challenge in school leadership. You'll learn:

• How to clearly define and recognize the signs of overwhelm.
• How to identify the root causes behind feelings of overwhelm, such as overscheduling, people-pleasing, and perfectionism.
• Proven strategies to overcome overwhelm for your personal well-being and to better support your teachers, staff, and school community.
• How to lead with calm and confidence, even when everyone around you feels stressed or burned out.

Feeling overwhelmed is a normal part of leadership, but your response makes all the difference. You have the power to reframe your mindset, self-coach through challenges, and choose a path of resilience over stress.

Join me for an empowering conversation packed with practical tips to master overwhelm, boost your mental resilience, and find a healthier work-life balance as a principal.
