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.

59. When “More” Becomes the Norm: Expectation Inflation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever notice that no matter how much you give, it never seems to be enough? You’re not imagining it. In this episode, we dive into expectation inflation. We’re talking about the rising tide of responsibilities and pressures placed on educators, often without increased support. From shifting policies to the unspoken “good teacher” myth, we chat about what’s fueling the pressure and how it’s affecting teacher well-being, student experience, and school culture.
