How are you pouring into your HyphenatEdD leader self beyond what’s expected of you? In this episode, Dr. Smarr explores what it means to center joy and creativity in a life filled with multiple roles—mentor, advocate, scholar, director, parent, researcher, and yes, reader.
This conversation is about moving joy from the margins to the center of your life and recognizing that leadership isn’t just about what you produce—it’s also about what replenishes you. Dr. Smarr shares why the most radical thing you can do as a leader is give yourself permission to rest, dream, and play. If you’re navigating the beautiful chaos of being multi-hyphenated, this episode is your reminder to make room for what sustains you.
