AFGO

Ah. A life well-lived is one where AFGO follows AFGO until we reach

nirvana.

AFGO meaning (thank you, Carol) Another Fucking Growth Opportunity.

Seems that schools are replete with AFGOs these days.

• How to turn the impossible into the possible?

• How to establish and honor one’s boundaries?

• How to survive setting boundaries — the pushback, the guilt?

• How to withstand contagious negativity — or toxic positivity?

• How to respond to intense student needs when your own needs are intense?

• What to do with anger, fear, paranoia, resentment, overwhelmedness, anxiety, and hurt?

In short,

what to do when teaching just doesn’t feel good?

Answer: Embrace that AFGO. Embrace that bad feeling. And bring it to someone who can help you transform it into understanding, relief, and an effective plan of action.

Another answer: Listen to what Jenny did.

Yep.

Another podcast episode has dropped. Check it out. Share it with your friends. Figure out what to do with your bad feelings in the

easiest way possible.

Sit back. Put your feet up. Grab a drink. And listen.
