We’re Alix and Chelsea, and we’ve been in the thick of it just like you. With over 40 years of combined teaching experience, we know firsthand that this job is beautifully, wonderfully hard. We’ve navigated the classroom highs and lows, and we aren't just talking about teacher wellness from the sidelines—we’re walking the walk right alongside you every day. We started EdYouWell to bridge the gap between "surviving" and "thriving," sharing the real-talk insights and practical strategies we use ourselves to protect our energy, stay grounded, and find genuine joy in the work we do.
The EdYouWell Podcast is a space created for, by, and with teachers who are ready to move beyond just surviving the school year. We believe that to "do well" in the classroom, we first have to "be well" as humans. Every other week, we dive into the well to explore the intersection of professional practice and personal well-being. From navigating daily classroom hurdles to protecting your mental energy, we share relatable discussions and practical tips designed to help you thrive both inside and outside the classroom walls. Whether you’re looking for a quick strategy or a deep dive into the teacher experience, we’re here to help you stay grounded, inspired, and well.
