Chelsea Henderson, Alix Busch, Teacher Wellness, Strategies, Insights

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.

    63. Becoming Through Doing

    Today, we’re talking about becoming and how showing up, taking action, and practicing consistently helps us grow into the teachers we want to be. We explore how confidence leads to competence, how small daily choices shape our skills and habits, and how embracing mistakes actually fuels our growth. Along the way we realize that we are already the teacher we set out to be, not because everything is perfect, but because our actions are building the version of ourselves we’ve been aiming for.

    60. Life Edits for Teachers

    In this episode, we’re talking about life edits, the small, intentional tweaks that make teaching and everyday life run a little smoother. From organizing resources and simplifying systems to keeping clutter (and chaos) in check, we’re sharing the edits that help us work smarter, not harder. These aren’t major overhauls, just simple shifts that save time, ease your mind, and keep you focused on what really matters.
