    Burnout: The High Cost of Misaligned Wants & Needs

    This episode explores a research informed lens for educator wellbeing, separating the brain’s wanting and needing systems and showing how chronic stress can push teachers to ignore needs until the tank runs dry. Dr. Eve Miller and Kim Yaris connect the science to lived experience, translating the model into clear metaphors and practical, repeatable moves that help educators respond instead of react. You will leave with a compact framework and quick resets that fit real life, from a one minute want,need check to habits that keep fuel in the tank before burnout hits. The goal is sustainable energy, steadier classrooms, and a culture that normalizes care as part of excellent practice. If this resonates, like, subscribe, and share with a colleague who could use a refuel.

  3. Building a PEOPLE FIRST Culture—One Tiny Moment at a Time

    Building a PEOPLE FIRST Culture—One Tiny Moment at a Time

    This episode explores how culture actually grows in schools, not through one big initiative, but through tiny moments that build trust, belonging, and momentum. Host Ashley Carranco talks with celebrated Keynote Speaker and Program Facilitator, Phil Boyte, about practical ways leaders can connect with people first, pace culture work across the year, and design simple rituals that make staff and students feel seen. The focus is on doable moves, relationship builders, and the mindset shift that helps teams sustain energy during the long middle of the year. You will hear the case for starting with willing believers, celebrating small wins, and protecting leader energy through intentional habits. The aim is a campus where people want to be, where community beats isolation, and where culture and values lead the way. If you are ready to elevate connection and consistency, this episode gives you a practical path to try this month.

  5. Interrupting the Cycles of Stress

    Interrupting the Cycles of Stress

    This episode invites educators to rethink how they relate to themselves in the work, treating self compassion as a practical leadership stance rather than a luxury. The lens is simple, care for the adult nervous system, and the classroom becomes steadier, more curious, and more humane. The aim is not lower expectations, it is wiser energy, clearer choices, and a climate where mistakes are part of growth, for students and adults alike. You will leave with a compact mental model and a few resets that fit real life, short, repeatable moves that help you respond instead of react. Think of it as strengthening the conditions for teaching and learning, so purpose lasts longer, relationships feel safer, and the daily culture tilts toward learning rather than depletion.

    Letting Students Lead: A Practical Path to Higher Achievement

    Across the country, proficiency is sliding and absenteeism is climbing, yet there is a practical path that moves the needle. In this episode of Change Starts Here, host Dustin Odham makes a case for student ownership as the missing engine behind academic improvement, engagement, and long term readiness. Dustin connects national context to daily classroom reality, then shows what ownership actually looks like, students tracking goals, reflecting on data, leading discussions, and taking the mic in conferences with families. He explains why even small shifts can spark big belief, and why strategies do not stick without a culture that invites students to lead their own learning. If you are a district leader, principal, or teacher who wants higher engagement and better results, let your students run the classroom, and see how they take off. Host: Dustin Odham Timestamps: (00:00 - 00:24) Open and setup. (00:24 - 01:08) The problem, proficiency and real world stakes. (01:08 - 01:56) Why it matters, college, STEM, equity. (01:56 - 02:25) Absenteeism scale and urgency. (02:25 - 02:57) Paradigm shift, from academics only to ownership. (02:57 - 03:27) Research lens, Hattie and Dweck. (03:27 - 04:18) Culture first, strategies do not stick without it. (04:18 - 05:10) What ownership looks like in practice. (05:10 - 05:34) Ripple effects, attendance, engagement, academics. (05:34 - 06:05) Beyond school, workforce and citizenship. (06:05 - 06:44) Early adopters and encouragement. (06:44 - 07:38) Calls to action, district, principal, teacher moves. (07:38 - 08:05) Small shifts that spark ownership. (08:05 - 08:32) Instruction plus empowerment, partnership mindset. (08:32 - 09:25) Subscribe, share, and season vision. (09:25 - 09:44) Outro.
