In this episode, I’m talking about the art of not falling apart not because I’ve mastered it, but because I’ve practiced it a lot. From being a college student working three jobs, to working in banking where everything had a deadline and a consequence, to teaching in a classroom where chaos is built into the job, I’ve learned that staying “together” isn’t about being calm all the time. It’s about knowing how to recover quickly. I share the simple habits that help me keep it moving when life feels overwhelming:

• My personal reset routine for hard days
• Why productivity culture lies to us about needing to “push through”
• What teaching taught me about pivoting instead of panicking
• How I give myself permission to do the bare minimum when needed

This episode isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine. It’s about acknowledging the mess, taking a breath, and choosing the next right thing even if that thing is just getting through the next 10 minutes. If you’re a student, a teacher, or an adult trying to hold it together while life keeps lifing, this one’s for you.

Class is in session.
You’re not behind.
You’re just human.
