Reclaiming Joy in the Classroom with Kim Strobel (Part 5)

Part 5 of our Teacher-Tested Hacks for Smarter Days series gets to the heart of it all: your joy.

In this episode, happiness coach and education consultant Kim Strobel shares a mindset shift that can help educators reclaim their identity, energy, and passion. Her message isn’t about toxic positivity—it’s about science-backed strategies for taking back what burnout tried to steal.

Rae reflects on her own journey with mindset, classroom overwhelm, and the power of remembering who you are outside the lesson plan.

This isn’t just about productivity. It’s about remembering you’re a human first—and that joy is part of the job, not a reward for surviving it.
