You survived the school year. So why doesn't summer feel like relief? In this episode, Chanie pulls from her book This Can't Be Normal to talk about why rest alone can't fix exhaustion — and what school leaders really need to recalibrate.

- Why your nervous system is still bracing after the school year ends

- The difference between achievement and integration

- What it means to mortgage your identity to your school

- The question that shifts everything about how you experience summer

- How rhythms and anchors create stability without removing the chaos

If you've built something meaningful and still feel like you're carrying more than you were meant to hold, this episode is for you. Tune in.
