Ep 46 | Angela Robeck: Releasing People-Pleasing
Angela Kelly Robeck is well versed in teaching and school leadership, having been a teacher for over 15 years and a school principal for six years before moving into a district-level position.
She is a certified coach of The Life Coach School and completed the life coaching program from Martha Beck International, and is the founder of Angela Kelly Coaching. She specializes in helping leaders navigate the job demands to lead with confidence while also having a life outside of their jobs.
In this episode, Angela explains why it’s crucial for us as mothers to stop doing all the crap we hate and start doing the things that bring us joy. She discusses why we should create our definition of what we believe a good mom is, and not focus on the definition society has fed us. She asks the important question, “Do you want to be the mom who is modeling to her children what it looks like to enjoy being a mother? Or do you want to model motherhood that is stressful and exhausting, where you are doing things out of obligation rather than because you want to?”
What You’ll Learn From This Episode:
“As women, we should value our own opinion, equally or greater than we value the opinions of others.” - Angela Robeck

Ep 45 | Tara Martin: Overcoming Trauma, Advocating for Kids, and Bringing Your REAL Self
Tara grew up in a very chaotic and abusive home. She was an “at-risk” student whose life was changed by one caring, kind, and very REAL teacher, which is why she now advocates for every single student and empowers educators across the country to be REAL. REAL Educators are relatable, they expose vulnerability by sharing their experiences, they are approachable, and they learn through life.
She shares how we must embrace the hand life dealt to us in order to fulfill our purpose and inspire those we serve to do the same.

About Tara
Tara Martin is an educator, author, leader, and hugger. Teaching is hands down her purpose in life, next to being a mom! She considers herself an instructional coach by default because leading by inquiry tends to bleed over into any role she has had the honor to serve.
One of my favorite things about Tara is she thrives on change and refuses to settle for the status quo.

Ep 43 | Steve Bollar: How to Embrace Your Uniqueness as a Leader
Steve Bollar, a.k.a. Stand Tall Steve, is an educational thought leader, former Superintendent of Schools, principal, author and a culture and motivation expert. At 6’7, everyone assumed he would become a basketball player, but instead he pursued a career as an art teacher and eventually as a motivational speaker.
In this episode of the She Finds Joy podcast, Steve and Kim discuss how we are told that in order to be a leader, you need to have certain attributes. Leaders are often expected to show little emotion, always be serious, not to have fun, and definitely never reveal their vulnerabilities. But, in reality, when you take the magic of who you are and integrate that with real leadership skills, you are able to maximize results and become a leader who is truly connected to your people.
“I’ve always done things differently and I say ‘Why not me?’” - Steve Bollar
