Over the past few years, I’ve spent a lot of time encouraging others to pause, reflect on what matters most, and intentionally align their lives with those priorities.

This summer, I found myself needing to take my own advice.

One of the greatest gifts Recentered has given me has been time—time to be with my daughters, create learning experiences together, and rediscover why I fell in love with education in the first place.

Along the way, I started noticing little hints…

The joy I found working with young children.

The books I couldn’t stop buying about child development and neurodiversity.

The excitement I felt whenever I stepped into a classroom.

Those hints eventually led me to an exciting decision: this fall, I’ll be returning to the classroom as a full-time teacher.

It feels less like changing directions and more like aligning my time with what matters most in this season of life.

One thing this experience has reminded me is that intentional living isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about making space to notice what’s been quietly growing in your heart. 💓

Most school leaders aren’t struggling because they lack commitment—they’re navigating constant demands without systems that protect what matters most.

I’m excited to be presenting at the LeadTeam Partners Summit on August 13.

My session, From Reactive to Intentional,
focuses on helping school leaders move beyond constant reactivity and lead with greater clarity and intention.

In this session, we’ll explore how to:
✔ Shift from reactive to intentional decision-making
✔ Align daily actions with strategic priorities
✔ Reduce decision fatigue with simple systems
✔ Build a planning approach that actually works

If you’re a school leader looking to lead with more focus and purpose, I’d love to see you there.

A little more personal than what I usually share here…

This is Gabby.

If you meet her, she’ll likely be the first to greet you—with a big smile, a sweet “hi,” and a question or two. She wants to play. She wants to connect. She’s beautiful—inside and out.

Gabby is also autistic.

She has learned scripts and uses them to communicate, though not always in the expected context. She imitates behaviors she sees—both good and bad. She may miss social cues, and she can hyper-focus on the smallest details in a way that’s actually pretty incredible.

Most people she meets are kind, patient, and loving.
But not everyone.

She’s only five, and she’s already been called “weird.”
Her deep focus—or her need for more time to process—has been mistaken for disrespect.

As her mom—and as an educator—I keep coming back to this:

Autism doesn’t have a “look.”
It doesn’t fit into one box.
It’s truly a spectrum.

I’m still learning every day how to see the world through her eyes—and in many ways, it’s opened my eyes too. Knowing her so deeply has shifted my perspective and made me more aware of how much beauty there is in thinking differently.

As Autism Awareness Month comes to a close, I wanted to share this so you could “meet” another beautiful soul—and be reminded that while autism may share common traits, it shows up differently in each individual. My hope is that we take the time to see the world not just through Gabby’s perspective, but through that of each person we meet. 🩷

People often say I seem “put together.”

But what they don’t see is what’s behind it—raising two young kids, caring for aging parents, running two businesses, and trying to hold everything together day-to-day.

The truth is, I don’t always feel put together.

What’s made the difference for me isn’t having everything figured out—it’s having systems I can return to and people who support me when I can’t do it alone.

That’s exactly why I created Spring Reset…

Not to give you more to do—but to give you support while you’re doing it.

We start April 16, and the last day to join is Saturday.

If this has been on your mind at all, this is your moment to decide. I’d love to have you join.

If you’ve been feeling like there’s just not enough time right now…

I want to offer a small shift:

It’s not that you don’t have time.
It’s that your time keeps getting interrupted.
And most systems don’t account for that.

So you plan.
Things shift.
And suddenly you’re back to reacting.

I see this all the time—and I’ve lived it myself.

That’s exactly why I created Spring Reset.

Not to give you another system…
but to help you build one you can actually return to—
even when life doesn’t go as planned.

We start April 16.

If this has been your experience lately, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own either.

If everything feels urgent right now… you’re not alone.

This time of year is when I see so many educators, business professionals, and caregivers stuck in constant reaction mode—doing their best to keep up, but never quite feeling in control.

You’re not behind. You’re just in a cycle that isn’t designed to work long-term.

That’s why I created Planning with Intention: Spring Reset—a 4-week small group experience to help you step out of that cycle and build a system that actually works in real life.

We start April 16.

If you’ve been craving more clarity, structure, and calm in your weeks, this is your invitation.

This past week, I had so many conversations with people who said some version of this:

“I don’t have time.”
“Everything feels urgent.”

And what stood out wasn’t that people didn’t know what mattered.

They did.

The challenge was finding space for it in the middle of everything else.

That’s what I’ve been thinking about lately — not just what matters, but how we actually give it a place in our time.

I wrote more about this in this week’s blog if you’re wanting to explore it more.

But for now, as you head into a new week:

What is one thing that matters that you’d like to make space for?

Have you ever noticed how quickly priorities disappear when our time has no rhythm?

Over the past few weeks I’ve been reflecting on values, urgency, and priorities. Those ideas help us decide what matters, but something interesting often happens next.

Even when we know our priorities, our time can still feel scattered.

A meeting here.
An email there.
An interruption that shifts the whole day.

Lately I’ve been thinking about something I call life rhythms — noticing the patterns that shape our weeks and grouping similar activities together rather than scattering them everywhere.

For example, one rhythm in my own week right now is communication:

• responding to emails
• returning calls
• quick follow-ups with partners or clients

Another rhythm at home is meals:

• planning meals
• creating the grocery list
• grocery pickup

When those activities happen together instead of constantly switching between them, the week starts to feel calmer.

Sometimes intentional planning begins with simply noticing the rhythms already present in our lives.

I’m curious — what is one rhythm that naturally shows up in your week?
