I'm baaack! Did you miss me!? In this episode I share about my personal journey as I search for a job for next year, as well as some real talk for you... I want you to really think about whether you're growing where you're planted or if it is time to be uprooted and replanted elsewhere where you can truly flourish...

In this raw and unscripted episode, I’m sharing my thoughts and emotions in the wake of last week’s election results. This isn't just about politics; it’s about my deep fears for my students, friends, and all those in marginalized communities who are now facing an uncertain future. I share the emotions I had and what I'm doing about them now... Thanks for listening and allowing me to support you...
