In this heartwarming conversation, we talk about:

  • How the pandemic led me to a significant life shift, embracing roles as an author, speaker, and creative.
  • My passion for connecting with students who "didn't quite fit the model" and creating a non-judgmental space where social-emotional skills and life planning were as important as academics.
  • The incredible story behind my tradition of sewing personalized, handmade pillowcases for her graduating seniors. 
  • The powerful message I instilled in my students with each pillowcase: "When you put your head down at night, don't you forget what it took for you to get here."
  • A new chapter for me at the time, including a book and the publishing business I’m in now. 

Grab your favorite drink and join us for a conversation that reminds us all of the profound impact one person can have.
