Feeling like last year’s behaviour battles stole your joy? Let’s change the energy at the door. We kick off the new season with a grounded, practical roadmap to reset expectations, reclaim credibility, and build calm with routines that do the heavy lifting—even if you’re returning to the same challenging group.

In this episode, I’m giving you a front seat to:

• What to do when you’re dreading going back to school after a chaotic year
• Why co-disregulation is real—and how to avoid it
• How to reset your credibility and teaching presence with students who’ve seen you struggle
• The difference between being approachable vs credible (and why it matters)
• Why routines do the heavy lifting for classroom management
• How to press "reset" without shame or defensiveness—yes, even mid-year!
