Be Well ~ Do Well
EdYouWell

EdYouWell

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. Each episode brings honest conversations, practical strategies, and thoughtful reflections drawn from real classroom experiences. Our goal is simple: to help teachers protect their energy, stay grounded, and reconnect with the purpose that brought them to education.

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.
