Skeptical at first.

This really should say self-care and student care. I was initially skeptical because everything seemed to circle around to the students. But after listening to the mantra of taking care of yourself first, I realize that taking care of yourself has the residual of taking care of your students. I thank you very much for your direction and your time and effort… and sentence, I know. 1 minute rule says I should correct it… but this is not for a grade 👻 I have downloaded about 100 of your mini podcasts. Thank you very much!

Love

Tina… I just love listening to your podcast… I taught kindergarten for 35 years and I have been retired for 16 years… But when I listen to you… I just think to myself… “Wow I wish I had this kind of a cheerleader during the days when I was teaching…” Keep up the great work… with arms full of gratitude, Maureen💕💘💕

Listen Once & You’ll Be Hooked!

This is such a positive podcast and a must listen for educators. Tina shares bite-sized nuggets of wisdom. Extremely relatable. So helpful and encouraging.

New music would make all the difference

This is an uplifting show and I wish there was a way to listen to the audio without music. When the little whistley sound starts, I can’t take it. Please improve this good show by removing the music underneath the talking!

Thank you

I struggle as an educator to take time for myself. This podcast by Dr. Tina Bodgren helps me to take care of my mental health.

Making the Time Friends

I cannot stress enough how much I’ve enjoyed my time with Tina Boogren the past 8 months. I was introduced to her at a 2 day workshop in Nashville just days before the order was given to stay home. Her material spoke to me during this great time of need AND it gave me material to immediately use to uplift my students (all future educators). As educators we must make the time for ourselves so that we are able to give to our students.

Amazing

Our district hired Tina for a self care hour before our school year started in the mist of covid. She was so gentle, kind and lovely. Her book and podcast were something I gravitated towards immediately after her session with my school. Thank you Tina! She also has a very soothing and calming voice and demeanor.

Self-Care Rocks!

Dr. Boogren is a force of positivity and encouragement! I love starting my week with her podcast and she has created a community of support for educators everywhere!

Thank you, Dr. Tina

I learned about these podcasts during back to school PD, and love them. As a busy educator I appreciate the positive ideas and encouragement. I also appreciate that Dr. Tina knows how precious our time is and has made each episode short enough that I can listen as I prepare for work, drive there, or even when I need a break at school.

Positive ways to Improve your Life

What a blessing this podcast is in these challenging times. Tina identities simple, easy to do activities to lift your spirits and make the world a better place all at the same time. I love that she always suggests alternatives to fit a variety of people. You MUST listen.

The Best Way to Start Monday

I look forward to your podcast every Monday. I am especially thankful for your podcast at the beginning of this school year. It’s the calm start to my school week as I commute to school and get ready to teach an empty classroom from my computer. Your voice and invitations help me cope.

INCREDIBLE!

I have been fortunate to meet Dr. Tina Boogren several times at trainings and listening to her podcast just allows me to carry her message of self-care and compassion with me throughout my day! These episodes are short snippets of how to improve our life as educators, friends, partners, and people. Cannot recommend enough!!!!

Not Just for Educators

Tina gives simple ways to improve the life of educators and everyone. In five to seven minutes she leaves a challenge - something simple yet powerful - that can, no WILL, make the listener’s, and any associate’s, day to day living improve. Easy things like being grateful, listening, and looking for positives. Love starting my week out with Tina’s challenge.

Self Care for Educators by Tina Boogren

Not just for educators because who doesn’t need done positivity? I have shared this with my entire staff, friends and family. I can’t wait for episode 4!

Awesome for educators

I love these podcasts. I love Tina. Great practical self care habits for educators, or really anyone 😊❤️
HBlackTx

Just what we NEED!! ❤️❤️❤️

Tina’s wonderful voice and even more wonderful words are exactly what everyone needs right now. Every episode is under 10 minutes and I listen to the new episode religiously first thing every Monday morning!! It’s the perfect thing to set the tone for the week.

Helpful and Simple

I feel like a lot of people see self-care as something big and costly, get a pedicure, go on a date, buy yourself something, etc. while I understand that is self-care, I love Tina’s simple and helpful ways to perform self-care. They usually cost nothing and can be done in a short amount of time. It’s not something you have to really plan out, but more to just be thinking about and looking for certain things. I also love that the podcast is less than 10 min so I am more apt to take the time to listen!

Honored!

Tina says in her first podcast, “I’m honored to be here with all of you”. Trust us Tina, WE are the ones honored to have you on our phones! These past 2 years have been so tough! We need self-care reminders & clarity as teachers more than ever! 💕 Thank you for your work Tina & Brooke!
