    Tina Payne Bryson: Cues of Safety in an Era of Dysregulation

    In a time marked by chronic stress, fear-based media, and nervous system overload, how do we create lives that feel steady, connected, and human? In this conversation, Tina Payne Bryson joins Michelle to explore cues of safety, co-regulation, play, predictability, and the small intentional practices that help adults stay grounded in difficult times. Together, they discuss why joy, laughter, community, and nervous system care are not luxuries — they are essential capacities for anyone hoping to care for others well.   Opt in HERE for a complimentary subscription to the magazine.

    3 Vital Questions: How Are You Relating?

    Most workplace drama isn't created by bad people. It's created by good people trying to navigate stress, uncertainty, frustration, and fear. In this episode, Michelle explores the second of The 3 Vital Questions: How are you relating? Drawing on the work of David Emerald and Donna Zajonc, she examines the Drama Triangle, the Empowerment Dynamic, and the ways we can become trapped in cycles of blame, helplessness, or rescuing without even realizing it. Along the way, listeners are invited to consider a powerful question: How am I seeing the other person? Because often we're not simply responding to reality—we're responding to the stories we've created about ourselves, other people, and the situations we're facing. And those stories shape our relationships, our leadership, and ultimately what becomes possible between us. This episode is an invitation to step out of automatic patterns, reconnect to choice, and cultivate relationships rooted in curiosity, accountability, growth, and empowerment.   Opt in HERE for a complimentary subscription to the magazine.

    3 Vital Questions: Where Are You Putting Your Focus?

    Many teams are exhausted not because people don't care, but because they're trapped in cycles of reactivity that feel productive but rarely create lasting change. In this first episode of a new three-part series on David Emerald and Donna Zajonc's 3 Vital Questions, Michelle explores how our focus shapes our inner state, our behavior, and ultimately the culture we create around us. This conversation examines the difference between being problem-focused and outcome-focused — and why that distinction matters more than most people realize. This episode is an invitation to notice where your attention naturally goes under stress, and what becomes possible when you begin shifting from reaction to creation.   OPT IN FOR THE OXYGEN FOR EDUCATORS MAGAZINE: Opt in HERE for a complimentary subscription to the magazine ( https://oxygenforeducators.com/#read-the-magazine ) Visit the Oxygen for Educators website to learn more  ( https://oxygenforeducators.com/  )       ********************************************************************************************* Follow on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/oxygen-for-educators/id1775510846 Follow on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2i21QueuqVqmEPmI7gzFfQ?si=1bef3354bff2402c Follow on Audible: https://www.audible.co.uk/podcast/Oxygen-for-Educators/B0DKL68DLX?source_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdp Subscribe on YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEdbuPy-L7p4RZKZ_VWKCXwK_j8vbjZF2&si=7SHeSWZRllrseygs ********************************************************************************************* Thank you to our sponsor, Tacky Box.

    Angie Gaylord: Leaving a Trail

    Dallas ISD Chief Academic Officer Angie Gaylord brings an unusually vibrant and deeply human approach to educational leadership. In this conversation, we explore what it means to "leave a trail" instead of simply following one — from failing forward and building psychological safety to leading through complexity with optimism, high expectations, and heart. Angie shares why she believes strong teams move at the speed of trust, how she leans into things like the "magic of Monday", and how adults can stay connected to purpose even in difficult seasons. *Correction: A story shared by Dr. Rick Flores was mistakenly attributed to Jose Villaseñor. Both extraordinary leaders are worth a listen!  Jose Villaseñor ( https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/jose-villasenor/id1775510846?i=1000738757554 ) Dr. Rick Flores ( https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/dr-rick-flores-from-detention-to-doctorate/id1775510846?i=1000758987200 )     Opt in HERE for a complimentary subscription to the magazine.
