64. Beyond the Buzzwords: Uncovering the Real Teacher Self-Care with Cohost Kelsey Sorenson [Summer Self-Care Series]

The Resilient Teacher Podcast

When you hear "teacher self-care," what comes to mind? Maybe it's the idea of indulging in a bubble bath or unwinding with your favorite TV show (and hey, there's nothing wrong with that!). But self-care is so much deeper and beyond the fluffy stuff. In our very first co-hosted podcast episode, we explore the soul-fulfilling aspects of self-care that will truly nourish your teacher spirit.

Lesson planning, grading papers, meetings, and making sure your students get the best education possible—it's a lot to handle. So when it comes to self-care, we want to get you outside the box and not talking about quick fixes or band-aid solutions. In this episode, we are talking about practices that will truly make a difference in your life as a teacher.

In this co-hosted episode, we hang out with Kelsey Sorenson and bring you into our discussion. This isn't our usual interview style, this is very conversational and we wanted to make you feel like you're sitting at the table with us chatting.

Kelsey Sorenson is a former third grade teacher and substitute teacher. She is now a homeschool mom to 3 kids and owner of Wife Teacher Mommy, where she and her team serve Pre-K through 6th grade teachers.

Wife Teacher Mommy has been featured on We are Teachers, Teachers pay Teachers, Jane, Etsy, Food Network, CBC, Fox, and NBC.
