    63. Becoming Through Doing

    Today, we’re talking about becoming and how showing up, taking action, and practicing consistently helps us grow into the teachers we want to be. We explore how confidence leads to competence, how small daily choices shape our skills and habits, and how embracing mistakes actually fuels our growth. Along the way we realize that we are already the teacher we set out to be, not because everything is perfect, but because our actions are building the version of ourselves we’ve been aiming for.  Join the EdYouWell Newsletter + Get Your Free Wellness Bingo Card Need the main points from this episode?

From organizing resources and simplifying systems to keeping clutter (and chaos) in check, we’re sharing the edits that help us work smarter, not harder.

We’re talking about the rising tide of responsibilities and pressures placed on educators, often without increased support.
