Feeling unnerved by the unpredictability of our world right now? You’re not alone. In this first Truth for Teachers episode of 2025, we’re diving into how to practice radical acceptance as we navigate uncharted territory as educators (and as a society.)

Join me as I share practical strategies I’m using right now for staying grounded, making my world smaller, and focusing on what’s within my control. 
We’ll explore how to shift from fear to hope by embracing the opportunities hidden within unpredictability. You’ll hear about my own struggles with anxiety, my word of the year (serendipity), and how unexpected blessings can arise when we let go of needing to plan and control everything.

As we move into 2025, let’s commit to focusing on possibility.

Let’s not judge situations when it’s too soon to see the ripple effect of what’s good and bad.
Let’s release the limitations of black-and-white, all-or-nothing thinking, and of judging everything as a positive thing or a negative through an immediate reaction.
Let’s release judgment of the situation altogether, and practice radical acceptance.
Let’s choose to see unpredictability not as a threat but as an invitation.
Let’s keep showing up, creating, and building a future rooted in hope.
