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.

As the winter months bring darker days, finding comfort and warmth becomes essential, especially in the classroom. In this episode of EdYouWell, we explore the magic of hygge, a Danish concept that brings coziness and comfort into both our teaching spaces and homes. From soft lighting and comfortable seating to natural elements and personal touches, we share practical ways to create a calming atmosphere that can help you and your students unwind and relax.
Discover how to transform your classroom into a cozy retreat during those long, cold days, and learn how these small changes can have a big impact on student focus, well-being, and engagement. Whether it’s the snowy outdoors or rainy days keeping you inside, these ideas will help you embrace the spirit of hygge and bring peace and connection into your teaching.
We’ll also discuss how hygge can extend into your home life, offering you a sanctuary after a busy day. So, cozy up with your favorite blanket, grab some hot cocoa, and enjoy this comforting episode!
