Summary
We are back from the NCMLE Conference! In this episode of The Language of Behavior , Josh and Charle tackle a powerful listener question that hits close to home for so many educators right now: "I'm struggling to feel like I'm enough in my role. How do you know your own value when the job consistently makes you feel like you're falling short?" Josh and Charle get real and personal by sharing stories of going to work sick, skipping meals, running on five hours of sleep, and still feeling like it was never enough. Together they unpack why educators tie their worth to performance, and why that is a losing battle. Key takeaways from this episode include separating personal value from fluctuating performance, why your brain runs on a distortion loop when you feel like you are falling short, how healthy habits like sleep, food, and movement directly connect to how valued you feel, setting boundaries as an act of self-worth and not selflessness, and a closing reality check: ask yourself what you have actually done well, who has benefited from your work, and remember your value is not the problem — your perception is. -- FREE The Language of Behavior Book Study Kit: https://thrivingeducator.myflodesk.com/lobbookstudy Do you have any questions for the podcast?
