Welcome to the 200th episode of the Inspired Teacher podcast! Thank you so much for taking the time to listen, whether this if your first time or you've been here for them all. Today's message is a fitting one for this milestone episode since it's basically the reason I do this podcast--it's a reminder to see the awe in the little things that are around us each and every day. I started recording this podcast as a reminder to myself to slow down and take some time to think about things that are important to me as an educator and this might be one of the most important things to remember. The message was inspired by some talks between Dr. Michael Gervais and his guest on episode 441 of his Findig Mastery podcast.

Today's episode serves as a reminder to me (and maybe you) to focus on the outcomes I do want--not the ones I want to avoid.
