Have you been struggling to connect with your class despite giving it your all? You craft dynamic lessons, yet your students seem disinterested, leaving you feeling like you're hitting a brick wall. Here’s the thing, it’s not just about the students; we play a crucial role too.

In this episode, we chat with Danielle Nuhfer, who is a former public school teacher turned coach and the author of The Path of the Mindful Teacher and founder of Teaching Well. She's spent the last 20+ years navigating the ebbs and flows of the current school system, while helping clients prioritize their own well-being so that they can be their best selves inside and outside their classrooms and schools.

In this episode, together we uncover the common misconceptions around student apathy; while Danielle shares her unique TLC approach – a strategy that empowers us to understand and reshape our interactions with students.

So, if you're ready to shift gears and approach classroom challenges with a fresh perspective, stick around. This episode is not just a conversation; it's an invitation to rethink & reframe.
