With The OkayEST Educator to talk about the why behind her work, the heart she pours into supporting teachers, and the real challenges that come with balancing it all.
We cover everything from reflective practices that actually work, to her own mental health journey and how it shapes the resources she creates for educators. She shares one of her favorite under-the-radar printables, the role of merch in sparking community and conversation, and her perspective on the policy changes teachers are desperately waiting for.
We also get real about the balancing act—research, advocacy, teaching, entrepreneurship—and the strategies she uses to protect her own well-being along the way. Plus, she leaves us with a simple but powerful mental health check-in every teacher should try before or after their school day.
✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:
If you’ve been craving real talk about teaching, entrepreneurship, and protecting your mental health while serving others—this episode is for you.
