#100: Goodbye, 2024!! Reflections on rest, filling our cups, and how to return to school in 2025 feeling like "you" again.

Episode 100!!! (AND the last episode of 2024) is both a reflection and a reminder—a moment to pause and think about what truly fills your cup during the holidays. Teaching can be all-consuming, and it’s vital to find ways to not just rest but to feel rejuvenated and reconnected with yourself.

IN THIS EPISODE, I DISCUSS:

• Why resting isn’t always enough – the difference between rest and rejuvenation.
• The 5 basic needs cups from choice theory – love and belonging, fun, survival, mastery and power, and freedom.
• Identifying how you're truly feeling – and how to intentionally fill your cups in ways that align with your unique needs.
• The importance of prioritising your wellbeing – because the work we do as teachers depends on it.

As this year comes to an end, take a moment to reflect on how you feel and what you need. Whether it’s spending time with loved ones, reigniting a hobby, or simply taking time to rest, be intentional about filling the cups that leave you feeling whole.

If you’ve enjoyed the podcast this year, I’d be so grateful if you could leave a review—it would mean the world to me. Thank you for letting me support you throughout 2024. I can’t wait to bring you fresh episodes, new ideas, and plenty of support in the new year.

Sending all my love, and as my little one says, “bye bye, ta ta, see you later!” 💛
