82 | One Teacher’s Journey Back to Joy: How Doreen Learned to Enjoy Teaching Again

If you've ever felt the overwhelm of "all the things" you do as a teacher, this one's for you! In this special episode, I share parts of my conversation with Doreen, a fourth-grade teacher who loved teaching but was frustrated with the pressures of teaching we all face. You’ll hear how Doreen discovered a different way—using the arts and SEAL (Social-Emotional Artistic Learning) to bring life back to her everyday. You’ll hear her honest struggles, her turning point, and the powerful shift that helped her students grow AND brought joy back into her teaching.   ~Elizabeth   Mentioned in This Episode: Want to experience the calm and connection in your classroom again?
