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.

The Quiet Season - Reasons I've Stepped Back Emotionally and Mentally

In this deeply personal episode, I share the story behind my quieter presence over the past six years. Since moving to Las Vegas, I’ve taught at three very different schools and experienced a wide range of leadership, support, and challenges. Teaching in new environments reshaped not only my professional life, but my emotional capacity and creative energy.
This episode is an honest reflection on how difficult seasons, leadership experiences, and personal growth can change how and whether...we show up publicly. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost momentum, changed as a teacher, or needed to step back to protect your well-being, this episode is for you.
Sometimes going quiet isn’t disappearing. Sometimes it’s surviving, recalibrating, and healing.
