Beauty, comfort, safety 😌

Why wouldn’t we want to stay there 🏰

The comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there 🚫🪴

Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone to experience growth ❓

Is there anything out there that calls to you 🔊

Do it! Even if it’s just a small step 👟

I LOVE TEACHING ❤️

What do you want to learn? 👩🏼‍🏫

I am an educator at heart. 💝

I love taking big ideas and breaking them down into pieces that are easy to understand. 🧩

I have taught music and performed for 20 years, this year! 🦉

I do not teach one size fits all lessons. 🚫

Whatever your goal is, I want to help.

Comment below with something that you would like to know more about.

*Im always looking for more helpful/instructional content ideas*

The goal is PROGRESS over perfection. 🚂

This week, we are focusing on how *mal adapted* perfectionism gets in the way of progress (growth and learning). 🌱

Sometimes progress isn’t moving forward at all, it’s just holding your ground and not going “backwards.”

Sometimes it IS going “backwards”, reflecting, and trying again a different way- realizing you definitely want to do something different the next time.

The secret is: there is no moving backwards. 💡

It’s ALL part of the process.

We are all unique, multi-faceted creatures.

There is nothing wrong with you.

Sometimes it takes turning the diamond in a different light to see it shine.

“Holistic education is a comprehensive approach to teaching where educators seek to address the emotional, social, ethical, and academic needs of students in an integrated learning format.”

How did I know this was the next step?

A LITERAL sign.

So excited for the things to come!

Will it be easy?

No, it will take a lot of work-

Just like this sign that needed to be uncovered.

Did you ever read Leo the Late Bloomer?

Leo was far behind his peers in most everything, but the resounding theme is that he will do everything they do (and more)- in his own time.

The story ends with Leo exclaiming, “I made it!”

And you will too.

Song lyric is from “Late Bloomer” by the Secret Sisters. Check them out!
