FIND THE JOY - for teachers

In Episode 7 of Find the Joy, I’m sharing a conversation with Emily from Geometry and Jokes, a high school math teacher who truly has a heart for what she does. We chat about teaching as a calling, finding joy in the little good things each day, and remembering that it's okay to set boundaries and have a life outside of the classroom. Emily shares so much wisdom and encouragement, and I think this conversation is a great reminder that we can love what we do without letting it consume everything we are. I hope you enjoy our conversation!
