In this episode, I share what I've learned about finding balance in order to avoid teacher burnout and explain why a teacher being 'tough' on students means nothing if students don't perceive their teachers as people who care about their well being. Take care of yourself!!!

In this episode, I share a brief story about redirecting a student and what I've learned about following up with them after a behavior incident in the classroom.

What does 'being real' even mean? Mike shares an article written by someone that has always been more of an acquaintance than a friend. Dan and I reflect of the author's insight on how to become more vulnerable which leads to the 'real friend zone' in our relationships. Enjoy!

We know laughing feels good, right? In this episode, Dan shares some research behind why laughing is so good for our health and we chat about some things that make us laugh as well. Enjoy!

In this episode, I share what I've observed since joining Tiktok and a story highlighting why race is a conversation we need to have to help young (and old) people.

In this episode, Mike shares an article about the chemistry of storytelling and why/how marketers use this information to sell their products. So interesting (and scary?)!
