Mindfulness 
Taking even just 5 minutes a day to rest, connect back in with yourself, or do something you love makes a huge difference. Here are some tools to support you.
  • Hechinger Report story outlining how mindfulness helps in classrooms. (Featuring me!)

  • I've recorded two of my favorite meditations: Loving Kindness and Letting Go

Free Resources
​Informational videos, documents, and resources that I use in my work or that inspire me:
  • Engaging Online: 5-minute video with quick tips and strategies for leading effective engagements online.
  • Love on the run! Print these out and carry them with you. If called upon to do so, write a little thank you to someone (waiter/waitress, a colleague, even a stranger) to say something you appreciate about them, wish them well, or to thank them for their service.
  • ​Oprah's Top Ten Rules for Self-Love: Who doesn't love Oprah? Who doesn't need more self-love? 
  • Clouds: Zach Sobiech was teenager who faced his own death with an incredible amount of love, bravery, and hope. He wrote a song that inspires me every time I hear it.
