In this January 2021 progress report, I’m giving you an honest look at my health journey—what’s been going well, what’s shifted, and what I’m learning as I go. I share the real-life “in progress” side of reclaiming my health, because as a mom and teacher, I know how easy it is to put yourself last. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about noticing what’s working, adjusting when things change, and staying encouraged for the long haul. I also connect the dots between health and productivity, because for educators, your energy is one of your most important resources. When my routines are simple and my systems are supportive, I’m able to follow through more consistently—especially on the days that don’t go according to plan. If you’re trying to build healthier habits while juggling teaching (online or in-person) and family life, this video is meant to remind you that progress counts, small steps matter, and you don’t have to do it alone.
