Today's episode breaks down what I covered during the Recharging Teachers Week Challenge. This episode is a replay of my Monday Mindset chat. If you're a visual person, you can watch the replay here on Instagram. These shifts have supported teachers with major transformations, like upholding guilt-free boundaries and letting go of perfectionism or people-pleasing patterns.

In this episode, I shared mindset tips:

• Finding joy in what works for you
• Add *wellbeing appointments* NOW
• Do your best - and leave the rest
• Atomic Habits hacks to remember
• Celebrate every little win and boundary
• Valuing #progressoverperfection
• Affirmations and non-negotiables
