Episode 3: You’re Almost There – A Pep Talk for the Final Stretch

You know it’s the end of the year when someone’s backpack is full of rocks and routines are… well, barely hanging on. If you’re juggling countdowns, theme days, and student energy that’s turned all the way up—you’re not alone.

In this short but powerful pep talk, Alex is here to remind you just how far you’ve come and how much you’ve already done.

✨ You’ll hear:

1. A lighthearted look at this wild time of year
2. Encouragement to reflect on the impact you've already made
3. A motivating message for crossing the finish line with heart (not perfection!)

This episode is for every teacher who’s showing up tired, stretched thin, but still full of love. ❤️
