About this episode

Feeling burnt out and overwhelmed as an educator? Want to prioritize your well-being and make a positive impact on the lives of the children you serve?

In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Katie Raher, an expert in social-emotional learning and well-being, and founder and CEO of Constant Love and Learning. Katie shared some incredible insights with us. 

In our conversation, we delve into the significance of prioritizing our own well-being and how it directly influences the well-being of the children in our care. 

Katie opens up about her personal journey, recounting the times she neglected her own well-being as a teacher and school psychologist, and the pivotal moment when she recognized the importance of self-care. 

Today, through her business, she guides and empowers educators and changemakers in cultivating their own well-being and fostering social-emotional learning.

Ready to rejuvenate your passion for teaching, prioritize self-care, and create a positive ripple effect in the world around you?

Tune in now!

Stay empowered,

Jen
