It's the Small Things

Welcome to the Inspired Teacher podcast! In today's episode, I talk about starting restorative practices at our school and the powerful reminder that it's not the big, flashy events that build relationships—it's the small, intentional moments we share with our students, our colleagues, and even ourselves. I connect this to the Stoic wisdom of Zeno, who taught that well-being is built little by little, and how that truth applies as I begin a new school year. From recovery and mobility, to better eating habits, to simply taking a few minutes each night to reflect, I share how focusing on the small, daily choices can shape us into the teachers, parents, and people we aspire to be.
