Hey there! In Episode 07, we talk about "Finding Your Voice." We're excited to explore how finding our voices in various roles can make us better leaders and positively impact others. We all juggle multiple hats, whether it's in the classroom, as school leaders, or within our families, and being confident in our identity and beliefs allows us to lead more effectively and inspire others to do the same.

As part of our journey, we discuss the power of storytelling and vulnerability to share our voices and empower others to use their voices as well. Thanks for joining us, and remember, finding your voice is a powerful tool for positively impacting the world around you. Until next time!
