  • Teachers, You are doing more than the job actually requires.
    Apr 13 2026

    You've probably said it — or heard it — more than once: there's not enough time. But part of what's happening isn't the job itself. It's what you've been adding to it. This episode breaks down exactly where that extra time is going and why it feels like the right thing to do in the moment. One small shift this week can start changing that.

    We’re not here to fix.
    We’re here to notice.

    If this helped, pass it to another teacher who might need it.

    Until next time…

    give yourself the same care you give everyone else.

  • Teachers, you are not trying to be perfect. You are trying to avoid being wrong.
    Apr 6 2026

    This week, we’re starting with something most teachers don’t even realize they’re doing.

    You’re not trying to be perfect.
    You’re trying to avoid being wrong.

    That shows up in small ways throughout the day. Rereading emails, going back to fix things that were already fine, and thinking about conversations after they’re over.

    None of it feels like a big deal. But it adds time to your day in ways you don’t always notice.

    In this episode, we’re breaking down what’s actually driving that behavior and how it’s quietly taking more time and energy than it should.

    This isn’t about lowering your standards. It’s about seeing what’s actually happening so you can stop adding work that was never required in the first place.

    We’re not here to fix.
    We’re here to notice.

    If this helped, pass it to another teacher who might need it.

    Until next time…

    give yourself the same care you give everyone else.

  • Teachers, there is only so much you can do in one day
    Mar 23 2026

    March is a long stretch in schools.

    The work doesn’t slow down — it adds on. And at some point, the day starts feeling smaller than everything that needs to get done.

    In this episode, we talk about what happens when the list is longer than the day, and how that pressure can quietly shift into feeling like you have to prove you’re doing enough.

    This conversation brings it back to something simple and true:

    There’s only so much one teacher can do in a day.

    And the goal isn’t to do everything.

    It’s to focus on what actually matters in the day you’re in.

    We’re not here to fix. We’re here to notice.

    We’re not here to fix.
    We’re here to notice.

    If this helped, pass it to another teacher who might need it.

    Until next time…

    give yourself the same care you give everyone else.
