80. Feeling Worn Down? How Awe Can Help Teachers Reconnect, Reset, and Stay Strong
Feeling Worn Down? How Awe Can Help Teachers Reconnect, Reset, and Stay Strong
Teaching is meaningful—but it can also wear you down.
In this episode of the Why Edify Podcast, we explore the awe principle—the idea that noticing small moments of wonder can help teachers restore energy, improve their well-being, and reconnect with why they started teaching in the first place.
Drawing from psychology, reflection, and everyday classroom life, this episode offers a calm reminder that awe doesn’t have to be big or dramatic. Sometimes it’s found in the most ordinary moments—if we’re willing to notice.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
- Why awe is a powerful (and overlooked) tool for teacher wellbeing
- How small moments of wonder can build resilience and kindness
- Simple ways teachers can practice awe during a busy school day
- A reflective question you can carry with you into the week
If this episode resonates, consider sharing it with a colleague who could use a reminder to slow down and notice what still matters.
