Asthma education doesn’t have to overwhelm patients to be effective.

In this episode of RTs Share Tea, Linda Fry — Thee Asthma Lady — shares 4 patient-friendly asthma self-management videos that asthma educators and respiratory therapists can use to improve patient understanding and build confidence.

If you work with patients with asthma, you already know: Clear, simple education is key to better asthma control and fewer unnecessary ER visits.

These short, easy-to-follow videos reinforce essential self-management skills patients can revisit anytime.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to use videos that cover:

• The basics of asthma

• Identifying and managing asthma triggers

• Understanding how to use an Asthma Action Plan

• Proper inhaler technique

Linda also shares practical strategies for integrating these tools into clinic visits, community programs, and follow-up care to strengthen patient engagement and long-term asthma self-management.

And no — this episode is not sponsored. No partnerships. No promo codes. Just me sharing the tea on resources I personally use and trust in my asthma education work.

If you're a Respiratory Therapist, Asthma Educator (AE-C), Community Health Worker, or healthcare professional, this episode will give you practical tools to simplify asthma education and support stronger patient outcomes.
