If you follow Hope on Instagram, you might remember seeing her have a live conversation with Kori Markussen. Well, we got such great feedback from that event that we decided to turn it into a deeper conversation here on the podcast! Today we're getting real and talking about how hard it has been to be an educator during this pandemic. If you've been feeling discouraged, broken, or anxious, you are NOT alone! We wanted to bring Kori on the podcast specifically because of her awesome story of overcoming these things.
