S5 E1: You Can’t Pour From an Empty Nervous System #DrAkeia

This week on Educators With Oil Podcast, I am joined by Dr. Akeia Keith for a powerful conversation connected to the Identity Before Instruction™ framework. Our topic is: “You Can’t Pour From an Empty Nervous System: Why Educators Must Pause, Breathe, and Check-In Before They Can Lead Others.” Before educators can pour into students, classrooms, families, and school communities, they must first be connected to themselves. In this conversation, we will discuss how identity, emotional wellness, self-awareness, capacity, and nervous system regulation directly impact instruction, classroom culture, educator longevity, and the way we show up as leaders. Dr. Akeia will also share practical tools from her Pause, Breathe, Check-In framework that educators can apply both inside and outside the classroom. This episode is for the educator who has been carrying a lot, leading while stretched, teaching while tired, and trying to remain present while managing the demands of the school year. Before instruction, there is the educator. Before we lead others, we must check in with ourselves. Join us for this needed conversation. #EducatorsWithOil #IdentityBeforeInstruction #EducatorWellness #TeacherWellness #TeacherMentalHealth #NervousSystemRegulation #PauseBreatheCheckIn Want to create live streams like this?
