You’re Not Dreaming Too Big for Wanting Ease — with Mia LaFrance

Audre Lorde reminds us:

Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation—and that is an act of political warfare.

This is the heartbeat of the 2025 Restful Teacher® Challenge.

In Episode 4, Dr. Michelle Singh sits down with school counselor and EduMia founder Mia LaFrance for a powerful conversation on releasing survival mode and reclaiming rest through alignment. This episode challenges the idea that overworking is a badge of honor and redefines ease as alignment. Mia offers deeply practical ways to pause, reflect, and move in purpose—without apology.

Highlights:

• How to define ease as alignment—not avoidance
• Strategies to pause before saying yes
• What it means to live from harmony, not hustle 
• The ripple effect of ease in leadership and life
