48. Generations Series: Teaching in Your 40s
In this episode, we’re digging into what it feels like to teach in your 40s—where confidence meets exhaustion, and where our years of experience start to really show up in how we lead, teach, and take care of ourselves. We share the highs, the struggles, and the small shifts that help us keep going strong.
☑️ What to Expect:
Confidence & Experience: We talk about how much more grounded we feel in our 40s. We’re not second-guessing ourselves like we used to, and we’ve learned to trust our instincts. We’ve seen enough educational cycles to know that what’s “new” is often just rebranded old ideas.
Navigating Change: We get honest about how exhausting constant changes can feel—especially when we already know what works. We explore how to stay open to growth while also protecting our time and energy.
Body and Mind: We talk about the physical side of teaching in your 40s—how it just hits different now. From slower recovery times to going to bed early, we’re sharing real talk on why rest and movement matter more than ever.
Mentorship & Leadership: We reflect on how we naturally step into leadership and mentorship roles, and how that’s both rewarding and a little draining. We share thoughts on becoming the “seasoned” teacher in the room.
💧Well Wishes: Teaching in your 40s is a chapter full of lessons, resilience, and growth. Your experience is powerful, and so is your ability to know what really matters. Keep setting those boundaries, protecting your time, and doing what works for you. We’re cheering you on every step of the way.
As always, be well, do well.
