Episode 36: In this episode of the Educator Sanctuary, Dr. Lea discusses the significance of keeping promises to oneself and the role of discipline in personal growth. She shares her own experiences of productivity and the challenges of maintaining commitments, especially as a lead educator and parent. The conversation emphasizes the importance of self-trust and how breaking promises to oneself can lead to a cycle of regret. Dr. Lea encourages listeners to start small by making one non-negotiable promise to themselves and celebrating their achievements to build discipline and self-trust.
