As a principal, it’s easy to pour everything into your school and forget about yourself. But your mental health matters—because a healthy, grounded leader creates a healthy school.

In this episode of The Principal’s Handbook, Barb Flowers shares three essential strategies to protect your well-being as a school leader. You’ll learn how to:

• Set and protect boundaries that allow you to truly leave work at work
• Give yourself grace and quiet the perfectionism and self-doubt that fuel burnout
• Reconnect with your why so you can rediscover purpose and joy in your role

Whether you’re feeling stretched thin or simply need a reset, this episode will remind you that taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential leadership.
