In this heart-centered and high-impact episode of Brave Voices in Education, Dr. Sarah Thomas — founder of EduMatch, global educator connector, and edtech visionary — joins Craig Aarons-Martin for a candid conversation on what it means to lead with authenticity, healing, and radical joy in education.
From burning out to setting boundaries, from invisibility to global influence, Sarah drops truth after truth on how educators (especially Black women) can reclaim their time, energy, and voice in systems that weren’t built for their thriving.
🎧 In this episode:
How EduMatch began as a tweet and became a global community
The difference between being visible and being seen
Why joy is a revolutionary leadership practice
Building boundaries without guilt
Healing from burnout in real-time
Whether you're an educator, school leader, or changemaker, this episode reminds you: You don’t have to sacrifice yourself to serve.
