This week on Child Care Conversations, Kate and Carrie get real about the tough shift from classroom teacher to confident director. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or stuck micromanaging, you’re not alone! They share practical tips on letting go, delegating, and focusing on what truly matters—plus a few books and community recommendations to keep you inspired.

Think of it as a heart-to-heart with friends who’ve been there, ready to help you move from “I have to do it all” to “I’ve got this!” You’ll walk away with new strategies and a little more peace of mind.
