Description

As we head into the back-to-school season, many teachers are noticing something: the tools, strategies, and habits that once worked just don’t seem to cut it anymore. 

Whether it’s behavior management, your own energy levels, or student engagement, the truth is—everything has shifted.

In this episode, Brenna shares a personal story (yes, it involves the dentist!) and walks you through how to recognize when you're stuck in resistance… and how to shift into a more empowered, solution-focused mindset. Because sitting in frustration won't solve anything—but curiosity just might.

What You’ll Learn:

**Why old strategies may not work in a post-COVID classroom

**The emotional toll of resisting change—and what to do instead

**How to reframe challenges as opportunities for growth

**A mindset shift that can carry you into the new year with clarity

**How the Calm in the Classroom course can help you build resilience and confidence
