Take this turtle step today.    Summary  David begins the episode by sharing the importance of you doing the inner work to grow and learn in order to create change from the inside out. As you journey with him, he encourages you to work from your heart and not the wounded part of you. He asks you to make your well being a priority. He knows that you are a changemaker and a warrior, and he doesn’t want you to lose that, but he asks, can you keep your warrior spirit alive while also slowing down and prioritizing your own well being? His challenge to you is to turn the love toward yourself in the way you love your students, families, and community. He shares the need for a paradigm shift of educators as saviors that continue to give and give without regard for their own needs. This podcast intends to help you turn this around. Take care of your own needs AND give to your community. He asks you to begin with becoming aware of where in your daily life you are connecting with stillness and presence. Try to slow down even just a little bit each day. David started his journey by committing to 2 minutes of meditation each day. That led to more time meditating, and then walking, and eventually he began to find stillness and clarity throughout his daily life as he changed the default from rushing, doing, and achieving all of the time. His daily practices have connected him to the immensity of his soul, and he lives his life in flow. He wants to help you do this. He asks you to truly take care of yourself and follow your calling. You matter. We need your creativity, love, energy, compassion, care, innovation, as we all work together to create a better education system for all of the people in it. Most importantly, we need you to trust your own wisdom and trust the small still voice of intuition within you. He closes with a short 3 minute meditation, but before that he asks you to commit to some sort of daily practice right now. Begin to notice your energy, how you feel, your breath, and become aware of the times when you feel calm and peaceful.    David’s mission is to reach as many education changemakers as possible to help them be the changemaker they have always desired to be.
