The EdYouWell Podcast is a space that helps teachers thrive rather than just survive the school year. Hosted by experienced teachers Alix Busch and Chelsea Henderson, this podcast explores the connection between being well and doing well, both at work and at home.

Teaching is meaningful work, but it can also be demanding, overwhelming, and at times isolating. That’s why EdYouWell exists. Here you will find encouragement, practical ideas you can use, and reminders that you are not alone. Whether you are navigating daily classroom challenges, looking for ways to care for your own well-being, or simply wanting to feel inspired again, this space is for you.

Take a breath, settle in, and dive into the well with us.

    80. Where to Start Before You Start!

    Going back to school can bring that little feeling of Where do I even start? In this episode, we're talking about three simple ways to ease back in: start small, start with a plan, and start trusting yourself. We'll chat about getting back into the swing of things without overdoing it, making a plan for your time, preparing ahead so you're not scrambling, and remembering that your classroom and your preparation don't need to look like anyone else's. We'll also talk about a few simple things you can do at home to make the transition back a little easier. Remember, you don't have to do it all before the first day. You just have to start somewhere!
