In this gentle Teatime Thoughts episode, parents, teachers, and caregivers are invited to slow down, take a sip, and reflect on the words found on a Yogi teabag:
“The worst enemy we have is our own fear.”
Fear often shows up quietly — disguised as worry, self-doubt, or the pressure to get everything right. When we let fear lead, it can hold us back from the growth, joy, and courage waiting on the other side. Listen to this reflection that is filled with warmth, honesty, and encouragement. Let’s explore how fear shows up in adults and children alike — and how we can transform it from an enemy into a gentle teacher.
Grab your favorite tea, take a breath, and listen in, because courage begins in the small, quiet moments we choose to move forward — even when we’re afraid.
Intro Theme Song: Vocals - Shevaughn James; Music - Malik McFarlane; Lyrics - Maxine McFarlane & Shevaughn James

Seasons change; and with changes, feelings of unease and discomfort are possible. This reflective episode examines some life changes and challenging issues that educators face. Teacher life is not an easy road and the demands and expectations continue to increase. Summer break is really a time of recuperation for many, yet some cannot even do so because they have to work to make ends meet. As you listen, think about how you can make a difference in the life of an educator today.
