In this episode, Kalli Fitzgerald discusses her role as an educator and how it has expanded to include additional responsibilities that support other teachers. And how that variety has brought her joy and challenges. Kalli also shares how 2020 was the beginning of a very difficult time in her life; not just because of the pandemic, but for very personal reasons. And, she explains how it's important to reach out, rather than dump in, when you need help. We talk about resilience, feeling all your feelings, and family.
