In this co-hosted episode, Joe and I unpack a teacher's struggle with feeling "too judgmental" after her classroom space was taken over. We explore how what seems like a simple annoyance can reveal critical needs. We describe how a teacher moved beyond self-blame to embrace her emotions as signals that allowed for more intentional, connected teaching.We discuss* The importance of personal boundaries in a busy classroom* Why we mislabel our annoyance as "being judgmental"* How conflicts are not “failures”* The power of asking for what you need rather than internalizing blameYou don’t have to be a teacher to enjoy this episode! Too many of us turn our legitimate annoyance against ourselves. Hearing how someone (who happens to be a teacher) reframed her negative experience into open-hearted understanding is good for everyone!Got a story to share about a moment you felt you might have misunderstood your feelings? Leave me a voicemail at (413) 239-4158. Joe and I can unpack it in one of our episodes and maybe, maybe offer a different and helpful perspective!If this conversation resonated, please consider leaving a rating or review on your podcast app. Your feedback helps others find us.Credits:Founder and Host: Betsy BurrisCo-Host: Joe JohnsonProducer: Jullian Androkae of PodVisionAudience Development: Andreea Coscai of PodVisionMusic: Tom Burris/Jabbering Trout Get full access to Teaching through Emotions at www.teachingthroughemotions.com/subscribe

Here's the actual soundtrack!
About a week ago I posted a list of song titles — some real, some made up — that a group of students pulled together to characterize their first week of school. This is the actual song they (I mean, AI) created out of every single song title. It'll make you want to dance!
