Who inspires you professionally or personally?  And why?

Personally, my mom is who inspires me! She was a stay-at-home mom who homeschooled me and my brother. She made sacrifices to be intentional and pour into me not just educationally, but emotionally and spiritually. I am the person I am today because of her!

What do you do to treat yourself?

February is Heart Month, a reminder that heart health includes caring for the people who care for others. 

Small, consistent habits like staying hydrated, taking short movement breaks, and choosing nourishing foods when possible can support energy, stress levels, and overall heart health. Through our staff wellness-centered program called Be Well, Care Well, Curricula Concepts supports practical, realistic wellness strategies that fit into busy days. 

This month, try one simple habit that supports you!  Here are a few ideas: 

• 5-minute stretch

• A balanced snack

• A moment to pause and breathe. 

Caring for yourself helps sustain the care you give every day.
