Today we talk about how we can learn from moms of older kids. In this case, our very own, Christine!

In this episode we talk about imposter syndrome and the idea that as educators and moms, we are enough, even when we don’t feel like it.

As educator moms, we know there is never enough time, an abundance of guilt, and a constant need to give to those you care about.
