Listen Later

In this special year-end episode, Nikki Loney welcomes back Steve Ferrell, a therapeutic counsellor, meditation expert, and yoga instructor, to discuss self-care strategies for busy educators. This conversation explores the distinction between soothing activities (that temporarily distract) and restorative practices (that truly replenish). You’ll gain practical tips for weaving moments of restoration into your day, even amid a packed schedule.
3:00 – How can we keep ourselves healthy while holding space for others?
13:30 – Meditation practice, grounding yourself
19:57 – Dealing with frenetic student energy, being an empathetic helper, bypassing vs. “that’s not mine.”
27:20 – Tools to use for perspective-shifting
33:28 – Regulating your nervous system
40:52 – Learning to offer tools rather than blanket prescriptions
56:16 – Emotional Intelligence
1:06:13 – Burnout, self-care, and recovery vs. soothing
This year-end episode is a must-listen for any teacher seeking balance, resilience, and joy in their teaching journey. Let’s close the year by prioritizing ourselves so we can show up fully for our students and loved ones in the new year.
