Teaching can be an emotionally and physically stressful career.  Since becoming a teacher 7 years ago, I gained a lot of weight, felt depressed and started getting weekly migraines.  This school year I decided to get my health in check.   This podcast is dedicated to helping teachers like me feel better from the inside out!  Every episode is full of whimsical antics and good times while dishing out the best health and wellness advice out there!  :D
