Have you ever found yourself leading people and wondering how to balance compassion with clear boundaries? In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my friend Michelle, the wise and humble heart behind the Schoolie Swarm nomad community. We talk about what it really means to lead with grace, make hard decisions with love, and cultivate safe spaces for others, even when it’s messy.
Michelle shares the incredible story of how Schoolie Swarm began and has grown. Along the way, she opens up about navigating tough leadership calls, protecting community members, and the deeply rooted faith that keeps her grounded through it all.
We explore how God has shown her the power of healthy boundaries and the importance of leaning into His discernment, even when the choices are hard. Michelle’s heart for community is contagious, and her perspective on seeing people through God’s eyes is something I’ll carry with me for a long time.
Whether you're leading a team, raising a family, or building community in your own way, this conversation will encourage you to trust God's guidance and embrace the small, faithful steps that shape the bigger picture.
