EdYouWell
The EdYouWell Podcast is a space that helps teachers thrive rather than just survive the school year. Hosted by experienced teachers Alix Busch and Chelsea Henderson, this podcast explores the connection between being well and doing well, both at work and at home.
Teaching is meaningful work, but it can also be demanding, overwhelming, and at times isolating. That’s why EdYouWell exists. Here you will find encouragement, practical ideas you can use, and reminders that you are not alone. Whether you are navigating daily classroom challenges, looking for ways to care for your own well-being, or simply wanting to feel inspired again, this space is for you.
Take a breath, settle in, and dive into the well with us.

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.
