SUMMARY
When there’s talk about educators practicing self care or unapologetically prioritizing their wellness, there’s a little bit of hesitation or reservation because (1) educators may feel guilty because they’ve been so indoctrinated to always ‘put students first’ and (2) educators feel that others may perceive them as selfish. We explore what the word ‘selfish’ means as it relates to overall educator well-being and how centering your own well-being as an educator actually allows you to be more generous with those around you.
In this episode, I break down 3 factors to consider how being ‘selfish’ actually allows you to be more generous both professionally and personally - especially over time.
