Don't Burn Down Your Classroom

Vida Carey and Chris Foster

 Teaching, learning, and navigating life with a neurodivergent brain can be messy, exhausting, and hilarious—and that’s exactly what this podcast is about. Whether you’re a teacher, parent, student, or neurodivergent adult, we dive into real conversations about emotional safety, executive function, boundaries, relationships, and burnout. Each episode blends practical strategies, ND-affirming insights, and a little humor to help you survive and thrive in environments that weren’t built for your brain. From learning how to say no, set boundaries, and manage emotional labor, to building safe and inclusive classrooms, we cover what actually matters in life and learning—without pretending it’s easy. Tune in for real talk, actionable advice, and relatable stories that honor every brain. Grab your coffee (or don’t) and join us as we figure out how to navigate teaching, learning, and living without burning it all down.
