Today we’re in Veronica’s classroom. Veronica is exhausted and ready to quit today. Her students are resistant to the book she’s teaching and she’s completely depleted of energy, disengaged and detached. How can she turn this around? What if the secret isn’t more control but a shift in how she looks at relationships?
Listen now on **Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or **wherever you get your podcasts.

The Teaching Triangle: Understanding the three-way relationship that defines every learning environment
Aikido: How to stop resisting negative energy and instead flow with it
Relational Engagement: Why protecting yourself by checking out actually leads to faster burnout than leaning into connection
Harnessing Energy: Practical ways to use student resistance for deeper learning
