The Power of Resilience: Redefining Self-Care for Educators With Ellen Ronalds Keene | Episode 20

Self-care is so much more than bubble baths and face masks… The self-care that really makes a difference in our resilience involves developing a deep sense of self-awareness and the ability to advocate for what we truly need to flourish and thrive in life and at work. 

In this episode, I am joined by educator and teacher wellbeing coach, Ellen Ronalds Keene where we exchange anecdotes and ideas about resilience, teacher wellbeing and the importance of putting yourself as a person first.
