Healthy Teacher Happy Teacher
Teaching can be an emotionally and physically stressful career. I've been in the classroom for 14 years and my body has kept score: weight gain, migraines, health conditions, and burnout. This podcast is where I share real stories about trying to feel better in my own skin while figuring out what that means as a teacher. You’ll hear plenty of honesty, a little humor, and maybe a few whimsical detours along the way.

Sometimes as a teacher, I feel emotionally numb or meh and I can participate in self destructive behaviors in order to cope. I wanted to address these feelings and talk about something called the Change Triangle and how it can help you move away from negative emotions and into more positive ones to make you a healthier and happier teacher.
