Hey EmEds! 💡 I’m cooking up something big—and I want your voice in it. I’m writing a book called The Confident Classroom, and it's all about giving teachers the real support they need to feel prepared, peaceful, and powerful in the classroom. I created a quick survey to gather insights from real teachers (that’s you!) about what’s working, what’s not, and what support would’ve made a difference in your journey. So I’ve created 2 quick surveys: 🎯 If you’re a TEACHER, take this one:👉 https://forms.gle/6UKcJG8RRzJFzzWu6 🎯 If you’re a SCHOOL LEADER, take this one:👉 https://forms.gle/WPRaWxFTv783ajbU6 Thank you for always showing up—and for helping me build a resource that actually meets the moment. 💛Let’s keep going the Extra MILE together. You're the BEST-- Mel

I’m thrilled (and still a little in awe) to share that I’ve officially been named the Superintendent of North County Christian School! 🙌🏽 This new chapter is more than a career move—it’s a full-circle, God-ordained moment that reminds me how faithful He is, even when the path doesn’t look like what we expected. Sometimes God shifts us off the track we were so sure about—not to delay us, but to develop us. To strengthen our skills, sharpen our focus, and bring us back into alignment with His purpose. And now, I can see how every twist, turn, and detour prepared me for this moment. I’m also excited because this role doesn’t replace my heart for coaching, leadership development, or the Empowered Pathways mission. It actually deepens it. Leading a school while continuing my consultancy work allows me to stay connected, do the work with others—not just for them—and continue creating tools and trainings that are rooted in real, lived leadership. I’m still here. Still cheering for you. Still walking with you. And now—walking into a God-sized assignment with a bigger toolkit and an even deeper “why.” Thanks for being part of this journey with me. Love y’all big. 💜 #EmpoweredEducator #NextYes #GodAlignment #FaithFilledLeadership #SuperintendentSeason #ConsultantAndLeader #LeadOnPurpose
