EP 014 | Cultivating Courage & Connection: a Conversation with Coach & Consultant, Kelly

“I have this crazy idea!” is a sentence that Kelly loved hearing as a former director. An educator from New Hampshire with 28 years of experience & an entrepreneurial spirit, Kelly is thinking outside the box in supporting educators’ mental health in workshops, professional development series & 1:1 coaching. Can you imagine walking into a room full of stressed teachers to talk to them about self-care? We can’t, but Kelly makes it sound like a walk in the park!!

Kelly shares how her different roles have shaped her story and brought her to her current work - she has been in special education, a school guidance counselor, & assistant principal. It’s a good reminder that it’s never too late to try something new, & as we grow and change, so can our passions. This episode covers supporting educators, advocating for systemic change, & encouraging an entrepreneurial attitude in problem solving. In addition to being a mental health mastermind, she also was able to give Georgia some astrological insights into her recent birthday (she may or may not also be able to read your charts)!

She’s truly practicing what she preaches in working with educators to prioritize themselves - as Kelly says, “the best way to support kids is to support the adults”. If you’re interested in practical ways to open difficult dialogue, celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit, & setting boundaries to protect your mental health, you don’t want to miss this one!
