What happens when passion, commitment, and hard work still don't feel like enough?

In this episode, I speak with Jenny - educator, leadership consultant, strengths practitioner, and self-described recovering principal - about burnout, leadership, emotional intelligence, and the impossible expectations many people in education are carrying.

You'll hear:

✨ Why so many educators and leaders are doing their best but still feel like they're falling short

✨ What Jenny learnt from experiencing burnout as a school principal

✨ The hidden pressures school leaders are carrying behind the scenes

✨ Why emotional intelligence is one of the most important leadership skills we can develop

✨ How understanding our strengths can change the way we work and lead

✨ Why the system may be struggling, but the people aren't

This conversation is thoughtful, honest, and surprisingly hopeful. If you've ever felt like you're carrying too much, questioning whether you're enough, or wondering who supports the people holding everyone else, this one's for you.
