EdYouWell
The EdYouWell Podcast is hosted by educators Alix Busch and Chelsea Henderson and created for teachers who want to be well and do well. With decades of combined classroom experience, we explore the real work of teaching and the real work of caring for yourself along the way.
Through honest conversations, reflections, and practical strategies, we dive into topics like energy, classroom practice, connection, and well-being—both inside and outside the classroom. EdYouWell is about moving beyond just getting through the school year and finding ways to feel grounded, supported, and sustained in this work.
New episodes are released biweekly.

34. The Perfect Classroom
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of EdYouWell, we're tackling the myth of the "perfect classroom" and how chasing perfection can actually hold us back in our teaching. The truth is, perfection doesn’t exist, and pursuing it often stops us from moving forward. We explore three key areas where this mindset can affect us: lesson planning, student performance, and classroom management.
You’ll learn how to shift your focus from perfection to progress, and how embracing imperfection can lead to growth—for both you and your students. We’ll share stories and strategies to help you let go of unrealistic expectations and make the most of your teaching practice.
If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to get things "just right," this episode is for you. Join us as we dive into the well and remind ourselves that “done is better than perfect.”
