    I’m overjoyed to be bringing you episode 97 Finding Our Way with Tom Bober, Michelle Cusolito, Valerie Bolling, and Cindy Jenson-Elliott. Before I release an episode, I always listen to it. Today, I listened while wrapping Christmas gifts, which truly filled my afternoon with cheer.

    If you’re wondering what this episode will bring you, you can count on hearing about mentor texts, bullet journals and leaning into what you love.

    Thank you for taking time out of your day to listen to this podcast–whether you listen on your commute, on a walk or a run, or while you’re doing your dishes, I’m so grateful to you. I look forward to talking with you again three more times in 2026. I’m not sure when exactly the next episode will release or what it will be about, but I am sure it will be jam packed with inspiration that will keep you twirling along on your writing and teaching journey. Until next year, happy teaching and happy writing.
