About this listen

In this special replay episode, Alisha joins forces with the wonderful Giselle from Kids Yoga Stories to unpack one of the most common challenges teachers face - overwhelm during the back-to-school season.

Originally presented earlier in the year, this session is packed with practical strategies designed to help you walk into Term 1 (or any fresh start) feeling clear, confident, and calm.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why feeling overwhelmed doesn't mean you're failing
  • How to identify what really matters on your to-do list
  • The power of building consistent routines early on
  • Why setting boundaries is essential for sustainability
  • How collaboration and community make teaching lighter
  • The importance of connection in the first weeks of school

Whether you're tuning in during your holiday recharge or saving this episode for your new-year prep, you'll find simple, actionable tips to support your wellbeing and help you focus on what matters most - your students. Let’s work smarter, not harder… together.

Rainbows ahead,

Alisha and Ashleigh
