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.

56. Teaching in the Goldilocks Zone – Not Too Much, Not Too Little
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today, we’re exploring the Goldilocks Principle and how it shows up in teaching. Not too much, not too little—just right. From classroom management to tech use, teacher talk time, and building connections, we dig into the balancing acts teachers navigate every single day. Finding that “just right” groove isn’t always easy, but when you do, it not only creates a classroom where students feel supported and engaged, it also leaves you feeling more grounded, confident, and connected in your role as a teacher.
