In our ever-changing educational world, we’re no longer focused on students’ grades. We care about their feelings and sense of belonging, too. In today’s episode, host James McLamb joined guests with Brenda Yoho, an educator who climbed the ranks from teaching assistant to education director, who shares her powerful journey. Her philosophy, outlined in her book “Lead with Two Rules: Feeling Good and Feeling Safe,” isn’t just a concept—it’s a practical way to connect home, school, and community. It’s proof that a nurturing environment can transform the lives of both students and teachers.   Connect with Brenda Yoho: Website: https://brendayoho.com/ Email: [email protected] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brenda.yoho.33 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brenda.yoho/ X: https://twitter.com/BrendaYohoYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@bethesolutiondaily8835/videos LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendayoho/    Episode highlights: (0:00) Intro (1:55) Who is Brenda Yoho?
