The school bell rings, signaling the end of a relentlessly long period. Students, from the youngest in elementary school to the seasoned veterans in high school, often find themselves mentally and physically exhausted by the demands of the modern classroom.

Her insights into this concept were explored in-depth during her recent appearance on the Authors Who Lead podcast hosted by yours truly.
