    84. 5 Things We’ve Learned About Hosting Teacher Candidates

    Today, we’re reflecting on 5 things we’ve learned from hosting teacher candidates. We truly appreciate our pre-service teachers, and we’ve been there ourselves! We talk about creating a safe space for them, letting them take the lead, giving feedback that fills their well, sharing the small things we do automatically, and noticing how hosting can reflect back on our own teaching. It’s all about supporting growth on both sides while enjoying the process and learning together. Join the EdYouWell Newsletter + Get Your Free Wellness Bingo Card Related Episodes: 63.

    83. Overthinking Overhaul

    Ever have a conversation at school and then replay it in your head all night? Or wonder if you said the wrong thing, imagine what could go wrong, or keep thinking about something you have absolutely no control over? Yep. That’s overthinking. In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between processing and overthinking, why our brains get stuck in those loops, and how easily teachers can carry school conversations, decisions and worries home with us. We share some of our own experiences with overthinking and some practical things that have helped us step out of the cycle, including putting thoughts on paper, giving them a time limit, asking what we can actually do, and learning to zoom out.
