I’ll admit it… There have been times in my life when I’ve confused a wall for a boundary. When I’ve been hurt, frustrated, overlooked, or disappointed, my first instinct hasn’t always been the healthiest one. Sometimes I wanted to prove a point. Sometimes I wanted them to know how it felt. Sometimes I wanted to match the energy I was receiving. But I’m learning something… Protecting your peace and becoming bitter are two very different things. Boundaries are healthy. Bitterness is heavy. Boundaries say, “I value who I am becoming.” Bitterness says, “I’m allowing what happened to me to keep controlling me.” Whether it’s at work, with family, friendships, or everyday relationships, we all have moments where we get to decide: Am I going to respond from my hurt? Or am I going to respond from who I want to be? I wrote more about this idea, pettiness, choosing peace, and not allowing someone else’s actions to change your character in my newest blog. I’d love for you to read it: toddnesloney.com/2026/06/02/the…

Positivity isn’t about having a perfect day. It’s about refusing to let a difficult moment define it! I get asked a lot, “Why are you always so happy?!” and there are alot of layers to that answer but I believe this mindset right here is the core to it! We all have things that don’t go our way, moments that set us back and people who try to tear us down but today is just too valuable to waste on any amount of negativity ✨ #positvitywins #growth #foryou #mindset

@MsSandyYanes Congrats!!

It’s a *Toy* Story 🤠 You knew it! My new original song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for Disney and @Pixar’s @toystory 5 will be yours on June 5th. I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie. I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right? You can pre-order now exclusively at store.taylorswift.com and catch Toy Story 5 in theaters June 19th ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

At our TEPSA Summer Conference, there's something for everyone! Check out three more of our over 150 sessions! See you in one week! #education #leadership #WeLeadTX

School culture doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built. One conversation. One decision. One relationship. One intentional moment at a time. After years as a teacher, principal, and now getting the opportunity to work alongside educators across the country, there is one thing I know for sure: A healthy culture changes EVERYTHING. It impacts how kids feel when they walk into your building. It impacts whether teachers feel valued, trusted, and supported. It impacts whether people simply show up… or whether they truly feel like they belong. But I also know this… Leaders are tired. You’re carrying more than ever before. You’re trying to encourage others while sometimes wondering who is encouraging you. That’s exactly why I created Culture Unleashed. This isn’t another sit-and-get PD. It’s a practical online course filled with real strategies, stories, resources, and ideas you can immediately implement to: ✔ rebuild morale ✔ strengthen relationships ✔ create deeper connection ✔ lead difficult conversations ✔ build a culture people want to be part of Because culture isn’t another thing on your plate. Culture IS the plate. Whether you’re a classroom teacher, aspiring leader, assistant principal, principal, or district leader, you have influence. And your leadership matters. Let’s build something people are proud to be part of. Learn more at: todd-s-site-963e.thinkific.com/products/cours…

Working on my main slide for my two new sessions at the TEPSA Summer Conference! Would love to know your thoughts?? For context: "Leading In Your Era" is tied directly in to Taylor Swift. "More Than Enough" is about leading through the fire and owning your gifts.

The Summer Reset tepsa.org/2026/05/21/the… #Education #Leadership

Great leaders know you can't take care of others if you're not also taking care of yourself. What is one way YOU take care of yourself so you can be there for your team? #Education #leadership

People often see the person on the stage and assume confidence comes easy. What they don’t see are the quiet moments beforehand. The overthinking. The anxiety. The introvert in me wondering if I’m enough. The weight I sometimes carry while still choosing to show up anyway. Speaking isn’t just about me standing in front of a crowd (or standing on a chair while I do it). It’s about every person who encouraged me when I doubted myself. Every hard season that shaped my heart. Every struggle with anxiety and depression that taught me how important it is to remind others they matter too. And honestly? Some days it’s still hard. But I’ve learned something powerful: courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s choosing to use your voice even when fear is sitting beside you. So if you’ve ever felt overlooked, exhausted, anxious, insecure, or like you weren’t enough…you’re not alone. Sometimes the people who seem the strongest are fighting battles you can’t see. I’ll keep showing up. Not because it’s always easy. But because I know someone in that audience may need to hear that they’re capable, worthy, and not alone either.
