This conversation isn't about fixing kids, improving outcomes, or adding a bunch of new strategies to your plate. It's about what happens to our nervous systems when the environment feels unsettled - and why feeling irritable, exhausted, or checked out is not a personal or professional failure.
We explore:
- Why being an educator or parent nowadays might feel harder
- How chronic stress impacts the body
- Small, realistic ways to support your nervous system
- Why regulation is collective - not something you're meant to do alone
This episode is for educators, school staff, and caregivers who feel stretched thin and are wondering why it's feeling harder to access patience, problem-solving, and energy. I hope this episode helps you feel a little more seen, validated, and human.
