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.
