This episode is a reclamation of pause. In the face of backlash, pressure, and exhaustion, we’re not just talking about resistance—we’re talking about boundaries.What if rest is resistance? What if pause is power? What if walking away for a moment is what allows us to keep standing?We explore how boundaries protect instructional clarity, model integrity, and create space to recover joy. With the guidance of bell hooks, Audre Lorde, and Brené Brown, this episode reminds you that you don’t have to burn out to be brave.KEY THEMES:Boundary-setting as equity leadershipRest and reflection as tools for sustainabilityChoosing when to speak, when to stay, and when to pauseInstructional integrity and values alignmentHolding the line without losing yourselfTHOUGHT LEADERS REFERENCED:Bell Hooks – Living your valuesAudre Lorde – Rest as self-preservationBrené Brown – “Clear is kind”REFLECTION QUESTIONS:What boundary do I need to define more clearly?Where am I pulled away from my values?Who is in my boundary-keeping community?What future am I protecting by setting this boundary?What do my students learn when they see me model care and clarity?If you are seeking strategy or support to help you or your team visit https://customteachingsolutions.com/equitytools or reach out to Jocelynn on LinkedIN.
