Episode 402: Monday Mindset: Margin for Magic

from Teaching Middle School ELA Hosted by Caitlin Mitchell

You can look fine on the outside and still feel alone on the inside and that gap can get painfully wide when you’re a teacher expected to carry everyone else. Today’s Monday Mindset is a short reset built around a simple truth: you’re not the only one quietly struggling, even if it looks like everyone else has it figured out. We start with the idea of “three hearts” the self the world sees, the self close people see, and the self only you see and why the hidden parts of us can become the home of loneliness. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a teacher friend, and leave a review so more educators can find these Monday Mindsets.
