11 - The Vibes You Give

During this episode, we are going to talk about the vibes you give and how they influence your relationships.

10 - Feel

During this episode, we are actually going to take a step back and feel. We are going to take the time to feel what you have been going through the past couple of weeks and try to understand why we are feeling the way we are feeling. It is not easy, especially now, amidst all the chaos to take the time to think about your feelings; but, why not take the time right now, today, on your drive to work, your drive home or perhaps during your walk around the block? So, let’s start blasting the airwaves.

09 - You Had Me at 'Hola'

During this episode, we will discuss the importance of the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ in building positive teacher-student relationships. Teaching is so much more than the content; and, we also know that we will never get to the content if we first don’t build an authentic relationship with our students.

05 - Bag of Tricks

During this episode, we will discuss where we even begin in our bag of tricks. I mean, do we even have a bag of tricks? Of course, we do! You just might have to dig a little deeper this year in that bag of yours to find them. We have spent our first episodes discussing self-care, but now we are shifting gears to discuss how we plan for those first couple of days, weeks maybe even months of school.

04 - Compassion Fatigue

During this episode, we will discuss one of the toughest parts of education, especially for me, compassion fatigue. We have spent our first episodes discussing self-care, but now how do we find that balance between work and life so we avoid compassion fatigue? Why don’t we start blasting the airwaves to find out...
