In this cozy, caffeine-fueled episode, Cindy takes us on a heartfelt (and hilarious) journey through the teacher coffee rituals that keep us grounded, connected, and—let’s be honest—barely functioning.
From the intentional mug selection that sets the tone for the day, to the daily “where did I leave my cup?” scavenger hunts, to the impromptu staffroom café she hosted in her classroom corner—this is more than just a tribute to coffee. It’s a love letter to the little things that build community, create connection, and keep us human in a job that demands everything.
Whether you’re a quad-shot, no-creamer warrior or a “Rae Dunn mug with caramel swirl” kind of soul, you’ll find yourself in this story.
