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.

63. Becoming Through Doing
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today, we’re talking about becoming and how showing up, taking action, and practicing consistently helps us grow into the teachers we want to be. We explore how confidence leads to competence, how small daily choices shape our skills and habits, and how embracing mistakes actually fuels our growth. Along the way we realize that we are already the teacher we set out to be, not because everything is perfect, but because our actions are building the version of ourselves we’ve been aiming for.
