Rachel Anderholder shares her journey stepping away from her role as Executive Director at Carpe Mundi to deliberately explore her next chapter. Through this conversation, she reveals how intentional transitions, though challenging, create space for growth and deeper self-understanding.
• Moving between comfort zones, learning zones, and panic zones as essential to personal growth
• Place-based education makes learning relevant and meaningful to students' lives and experiences
• Experiences without reflection limit our ability to extract meaningful lessons and growth
• Having language to identify when we're in our "panic zone" helps us navigate challenging situations
• Transitions don't require abandoning your past but rather carrying forward what matters
• Taking deliberate pauses allows us to assess whether we're genuinely aligned with our path
• Finding opportunities for mastery (like playing piano or gardening) creates fulfillment
• Cultivating wonder in everyday experiences doesn't require traveling to far-off places
• Setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care establishes healthier patterns for future endeavors
• Choosing to leave something good can still be the right decision for growth
