EP: 33 Mindfulness and Tapping: Tools for Teacher Well-Being

In this episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Michelle Auton, a seasoned educator, school leader, and author of What Happy Teachers Do. With over 25 years of experience in education, Michelle brings valuable insights into the challenges teachers face and how to manage stress effectively. We dive into practical strategies that can help teachers cope with burnout and rediscover the joy in both their professional and personal lives. Together, we explore the importance of self-care, the power of gratitude, and the role mindfulness plays in supporting educators. Michelle introduces us to Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or tapping, a unique approach to managing stress and boosting emotional resilience. We discuss how tapping can not only help teachers find calm but also foster a positive and supportive environment in the classroom for both educators and students. This episode is packed with actionable tips and advice that can help teachers thrive. Michelle’s book, What Happy Teachers Do, offers even more strategies for cultivating joy, mindfulness, and self-compassion on the teaching journey. If you’ve been feeling the weight of burnout, this conversation is filled with tools to help you regain balance and reignite your passion for teaching.
