How much effort is enough—for you and your students?

In this episode, I’m weaving together three listener questions about navigating effort, expectations, and balance. We’ll explore how to recognize whether you lean more toward Type A (overextending) or Type B (holding back) tendencies, and how to make small, mindful adjustments so you’re not burning out—or stagnating.

You’ll hear practical advice for:

• Reworking your expectations of yourself during seasons of low energy, burnout, or chronic illness.
• Knowing when to give yourself permission to do less, and when to gently push yourself to do more.
• Supporting students who either overextend or under-extend themselves without trying to individualize every message for every learner.

Listen in for a simple framework you (and your students) can use to calibrate effort in healthier, more sustainable ways.
