Danielle Nuhfer – The Path of the Mindful Teacher: How to Choose Calm Over Chaos and Serenity Over Stress, One Step at a Time. This is episode 499 of Teaching Learning Leading K12.

Danielle Nuhfer is a teacher wellness coach (and a fellow teacher!) and she helps time-crunched teachers find time for self-care.

She works with teachers who love what they do (most of the time) but don’t love how they feel (some of the time): teachers who want to find balance in all areas of their lives without leaving a profession that they love.

Her specialty is supporting teachers in building their resilience by saying “NO” to what isn’t working and saying “YES” to the real and achievable possibility of balance both inside and outside of the classroom.

This is done without focusing on what’s wrong and instead focusing on what is, building on your unique lived experience, school situation, and personal needs.

She teaches you how to fill your own self-care and teacher wellness buckets through a variety of different tools and techniques through teacher wellness coaching while also holding space for the real conversations and considerations that arise when we begin integrating these tools into our lives.

Teacher wellness coaching is about learning how to prioritize and nourish yourself first and {un}learning the messaging that says self-care is selfish.

Danielle notes, “We are all at different stages of this teaching well journey, but together I know we can teach well together because #weareteachingwell.”

Today our focus is on Danielle’s book The Path of the Mindful Teacher: How to Choose Calm Over Chaos and Serenity Over Stress, One Step at a Time.
