Description

You made it through the first term — and whether it felt empowering, overwhelming, or a mix of both, this episode is for you.

Join me for a calm, thoughtful conversation about what it really means to reflect on your first term of teaching. We’ll talk about why this phase often feels messy (and why that’s completely normal), how to pause without self-judgment, and how to use three simple questions to make sense of what’s working and what you want to change going forward.

If you're feeling unsure, tired, or ready to reset — this episode will help you.

And if you’d like more support heading into the new term, I’ve got something for you.
I’m hosting a free webinar next week called How to Reset Without Starting Over — a short, practical workshop to help new teachers reflect, refresh, and make small, meaningful changes for the term ahead.

Because a reset doesn’t mean throwing everything out and starting again. It means taking what’s already working, letting go of what’s not, and moving forward with more clarity, energy, and ease — without having to start from scratch.

You’re doing better than you think — and you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
