    68. Our Favourite Perks of Teaching

    Today we’re taking some time to focus on the perks of the job. Teaching definitely comes with its challenges, but it also brings those great moments that remind us why we do this work. It’s easy to get caught up in the tough days, so we’re slowing down to talk about the joy, the wins, and the little things that make teaching worth it. Sometimes we just need that reminder to look back, appreciate the perks, and keep moving forward with a bit more energy!

    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?
