    Ivy Insights

    The Self-Care for Educators with Dr. Tina H. Boogren podcast has been an absolute joy to listen to over the past 8 months. I was first introduced to Tina Boogren at a workshop in Nashville just before the pandemic hit, and her material spoke to me during a time of great need. As an educator, I found her insights and strategies immediately applicable and uplifting for my students.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is Dr. Boogren's soothing and calming voice and demeanor. Her gentle and kind approach makes it easy to connect with her message of positivity and encouragement. The episodes are short, bite-sized snippets that provide practical ideas and suggestions for self-care in a busy educator's life. I appreciate that she understands the preciousness of our time, making each episode easily digestible during our hectic schedules.

    Furthermore, Tina has created a supportive community for educators everywhere through her book, podcast, and workshops. Her episodes foster a sense of belonging and support, creating a space where educators can feel heard, understood, and encouraged.

    In terms of drawbacks, there really aren't many to mention about this podcast. Some listeners may prefer longer episodes or more in-depth discussions on certain topics related to self-care in education. However, given the purpose of this podcast as a quick dose of inspiration and practical advice, it serves its intended purpose well.

    In conclusion, The Self-Care for Educators with Dr. Tina H. Boogren podcast is a true blessing in these challenging times. It provides simple yet powerful activities to lift spirits and make the world a better place while accommodating different preferences through suggested alternatives. Starting each week with Tina's podcasts helps set a calm tone amidst the chaos of teaching remotely or in-person during the pandemic. I highly recommend tuning in to this podcast for all educators who want to prioritize their own well-being while uplifting others.
