    School Rules Podcast: Leadership Philosophy, Mental Health, and the Real Reasons Educators Walk Away
    Jun 23 2026

    In this episode of the School Rules Podcast, I blend discussions from ELDR 6433 and ELDR 5123 to explore what it means to lead with curiosity and purpose. We talk about developing a meaningful leadership philosophy, staying open to new information, and how curiosity shapes the way leaders respond to challenges.

    I also dive into trauma‑informed leadership, the mental health realities facing educators, and the deeper reasons teachers leave unhealthy schools and districts. This episode is a practical, honest look at the emotional and intellectual work of leading in today’s schools.

    Perfect for principals, aspiring leaders, and educators who want to grow with intention.
