Angela Watson’s Truth for Teachers
Education:Courses
Spending a LOT of time in a confined space with the same people day in and day out can exacerbate tension.
If you’re finding yourself increasingly agitated, impatient, and annoyed by the folks around you, this episode can help!
I’m talking with Kara Loewentheil, who has a B.A. from Yale and J.D. from Harvard Law, and works now as a Master Certified Coach. She's the host of the iTunes top-rated self-help podcast "Un-F Your Brain," which has been downloaded over 5 million times, and she has been featured in outlets like Marie Claire, Mind Body Green, MSN.com, and The Huffington Post.
I love to occasionally have folks with a perspective outside of our education bubble come on the show to give us a broader perspective.
We recorded this prior to the pandemic, so you won’t hear us address that, however, I decided to run the episode this week because I think our conversation is going to be more relevant now than ever.
As we’re stuck inside for weeks on end with other humans, the concept of not being annoyed by personality differences takes on a whole new meaning, right? I hope this episode will be helpful to you not only in your work but in your personal life, as well.
