Welcome to The Inspired Teacher Podcast! Lately, the weather here in southeastern Pennsylvania has been just about perfect, and I've been making a point to enjoy it—with no earbuds, no distractions, just fresh air. It's been good for the soul, but it also got me thinking about how easy it is to let external things—like the weather, a tough class, or a flopped lesson—dictate our mood. In this episode, I'm drawing inspiration from Jay Shetty and the classic story of "Good thing, bad thing, who knows?" We'll talk about how reframing events, embracing the power of the pause, and letting go of our need to control outcomes can help us find peace and purpose in the unpredictable rhythm of teaching.
