Getting Through the Slumps of Life, with EF Coach Carrie Bonnett, Ep 81

from The Executive Function Podcast · host Sarah Kesty, Brain Tools School

Team, Sometimes I pretend I'm psychic and guess what students are thinking, experiencing, and struggling with based on the time of year. I wish these moments came from ESP, but they come from knowing the predictable patterns of the year. Our energies and the demands on us ebb and flow, and many of the patterns of the context can be predicted. But, what do we do when the situation demands more of us than our current capacities feel able to do? This week, we learn with fellow coach Carrie Bonnett, who shares her gentle perspective and strategies for getting through the midterm slumps and work life overwhelm. Carrie's strategies help students, parents, and humans of all ages as we navigate this thing called life.
