A common theme in everything I write about on my blog, whether it’s related to my decision to leave my teacher career, my work helping small business owners and educators, or even my self-care practices, is evolution. We all have a story, and just like the characters in any book we read, we grow, change, learn new things, and evolve. With evolution comes the need to take a step back to look at what’s working and what isn’t. And sometimes, it takes a challenging experience to push us into that pause of reflection and reevaluaton.
