Becoming the BISON is more than a book for educators—it’s a mindset shift for anyone navigating challenge, change, or burnout.
In a world where teachers are overwhelmed, students are struggling, and systems feel broken, this book offers something different: a way forward that doesn’t add more to your plate—it becomes the plate. Rooted in the BISON mentality—Be Intentional So Others Notice®️—it challenges readers to stop avoiding the storm and start running straight into it with clarity, purpose, and connection.
While written with educators in mind, readers from all walks of life have shared how deeply personal and transformative this book feels. Many describe it as “a conversation, not a lecture”—honest, practical, and filled with strategies that actually work in real life, not just in theory.
Whether you’re in a classroom, leading a team, raising kids, or simply trying to show up better in your own life, Becoming the BISON will meet you where you are—and push you forward.
For the teachers who stay late
and care too much.
There is no greater gift than being surrounded by people who get you, breathe life into you, inspire, and energize you so you can keep going.
SELebrate Good Times is dedicated to empowering educators with the tools, resources, and strategies they need to thrive - diving into emotional intelligence, intentional leadership, and best practices across all academic content areas.
The power of the BISON fuels our souls.
Collaboration without competition. A safe, loving space where consistency is our magic.

“I’m happy again. I’m happy teaching.
Last year I was like, “What am I doing? How many years do I have left? These kids are crazy. I’m a Zookeeper, not a Teacher. I’m everything BUT a Teacher.”
That’s how I was feeling and this has completely changed my life.
I love you, Kim.
I love this group.
You’re my people.
You’re my herd.
I can’t say enough about it."
- 3rd grade teacher

“This changed my teaching! Not only are my kids more empowered and seen, but they are now equipped with tools to navigate social situations.
My personal well-being and mental health has improved because I’ve implemented these tools in my own life.
I have hope I won’t burn out in this career!”
-4th grade teacher

UNLEASHING
the Bison
You’re doing the work. You’re showing up every single day for your students, your staff, your school — and somewhere along the way, you stopped showing up for yourself. That’s exactly why I created Unleashing the Bison — a podcast built for educators who are ready to stop shrinking and start leading from the inside out.
Each episode is a real, raw, no-fluff conversation about what it actually takes to run into the storm — because that’s what bison do, and that’s what you do.
Whether you’re driving to school at 6am or winding down after a long week, this is your space to be seen, be fueled, and be reminded that the most powerful thing you can bring to your classroom is you.
