Filling Our Own Cups as Educators

Episode notes

Bibi and Taylor dive deep into the critical topic of self-care and educator mental health. As former child care classroom educators themselves, they reflect on the emotional toll the profession can take and why it’s time to normalize rest, boundaries, and well-being in education.

Drawing from personal experiences, Bibi and Taylor explore the pressure to "do it all," and the challenges that contribute to emotional exhaustion in educators. More importantly, they share strategies, practical self-care practices, and accessible resources that helped them and others reclaim balance and joy in both personal and professional life.
