I'm here this week to tell you that there is a way to silence the overwhelm - or at least turn down its volume. My guess is that you’re currently trying to outrun the overwhelm by working harder and faster, but the truth is it’s only leading to even more of it. The key is to stop, take a breath, and listen to what your emotions are trying to tell you, and I guide you through this process in this episode.

I share my insights on managing the emotional intensity and fatigue that can come with being a school leader. Learn the value of stopping to listen to what your overwhelm has to offer you. Discover what happens when you slow down and get specific about what’s working and what needs adjustment. I also share my top tips for untangling overwhelm so you can return to doing what you love as a school leader.
