May is emotional — filled with reflection, burnout, celebration, transitions, and anticipation. And if you’re a teacher, school leader, or microschool founder, chances are you’re feeling all of that at once right now.

Have you ever looked up in May and thought… How am I still standing? The emails, the field trips, the assessments, the questions about next year — and somehow, you’re also expected to plan ahead while barely surviving today?
I’ve been there. In this episode, I’m sharing how I handled the chaos of my first May at Lighthouse Learning — and what I learned about finishing strong without burning out.
Here’s what you’ll walk away with: ✅ Why it’s okay to feel overwhelmed — and how to reframe it
✅ The 3 P’s that saved my sanity in May: Prioritize, Purge, and Plan Lightly
✅ How to make space for presence, not perfection
✅ A simple 3-column system to close your year with intention
✅ Encouragement from someone who has been where you are — and made it through
This episode is for you if you’re exhausted, stretched thin, or wondering how to wrap this school year without losing yourself in the process.
You are still a good leader — even if you’re tired.
You can finish with purpose — even if you simplify.
And you don’t have to do it alone.
