    S2 E10. 4 Reasons the Journey is More Challenging for Black Educators

    Season 2 Episode 10 Episode link: https://BalancedBlackEducator.com/podcast/s2e10 Summary The first step in our liberation work as educators is being able to notice and name some of the specific issues that are unique to the Black educator experience. In this unapologetic episode, I talk about terms such as racial battle fatigue, microaggressions, anti-blackness, and afro-pessimism and how these concepts play out within our educational environments often with harmful results.

    You DO Have Time to Prioritize Your Wellness

    Season 2 Episode 9 Episode link: https://BalancedBlackEducator.com/podcast/s2e9 Summary Educators are under tremendous workloads in a sector that is under-funded and under-paid - which absolutely contributes to a valid feeling of time scarcity among educators. We have to acknowledge these constraints and we also have to acknowledge that as individual people within this damaged system, we can only do what is within our control. In this episode I talk about the importance of boundaries and the proper mindset to ensure you can continue to prioritize what matters most. The good news is these changes are absolutely within your control to shift your response to create more space for yourself and your wellness over time.

    Considerations For an Effective Wellness Practice

    Season 2 Episode 8 Episode link: https://BalancedBlackEducator.com/podcast/s2e8 Summary In this episode I talk about the importance of having a daily wellness practice already planned and designed for you to guard against decision fatigue and to ensure a variety of options are available to you that actually work to reset your nervous system. I also discuss aspects of Overload Theory, how it relates specifically to Black educators, and how having a well developed wellness practice that activates the Ventral vagal part of the Vagus Nerve in your body can counteract the components of this theory to improve your stress resilience.

    The Issue With Self Care and What You Should Focus on Instead

    Season 2 Episode 5 Episode link: https://BalancedBlackEducator.com/podcast/s2e5 Summary I believe that Vagus nerve activation and autonomic nervous system management should be required training in every K12 and Higher Ed setting. If you have no idea what I am referring to, take a listen to this week's episode to learn more about your nervous system and find out how to take your self-care practices to the next level of effectiveness through self-regulation. If your self-care is no longer giving what it's supposed to give, discover what you should be focusing on instead. Especially if you're feeling like you need more from your current self-care routine.
