À propos de cet audio
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Lisa J. Lucas, educator, therapeutic coach, and author of Better Days and Practicing Presence. Drawing on more than 35 years in education, Dr. Lucas shares how small, consistent daily practices, such as reflection, gratitude, intentional pauses, and relationship-centered routines, can significantly improve teacher well-being, classroom climate, and student engagement, even within imperfect systems.
We discuss why she wrote Better Days, how daily practices support teachers facing increased stress and challenging classroom behaviors, and why simple habits like spending time outdoors can regulate emotions and restore connection. Dr. Lucas also offers practical self-care strategies for the new year, explains how her work can be used by both teachers and parents, and leaves listeners with one powerful piece of advice for navigating today’s demanding educational landscape; with presence, intention, and hope.
