Resilience and Self-Care: Arkansas A.W.A.R.E.'s Holiday Special

I think that we don't talk about that. That component of resiliency may be enough. And maybe it's not the best tool for the long run, but it's the right tool for right now.
The holidays can be a tough time for educators, and in this special episode of the 'Arkansas A.W.A.R.E.' podcast, hosts Dr. Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Dr. Stacy Moore tackle the important topic of building resilience. They kick off by acknowledging the unique challenges that come with the holiday season, especially for those in the education sector. The conversation then shifts to the often misunderstood relationship between self-care and resilience. Are they the same thing?
Is 'self-care' becoming a dreaded buzzword? The hosts share their candid thoughts and personal experiences, making this episode both relatable and insightful. Practical tips are shared throughout, including the power of positive thinking, the importance of reaching out to friends and family, and why it's crucial to give yourself permission to not be okay sometimes. This episode is a comforting reminder that taking care of oneself is essential, particularly during stressful times.
Whether you're an educator or someone interested in mental health, this discussion offers valuable takeaways to help you navigate life's pressures with a bit more ease.
