Part 2: Boundaries, Wellness and Building Community with Laurie McIntosh

Saison 1 · Épisode 23

mardi 25 août 2026 • Durée 31:00

In the second half of our conversation with teacher, author, and advocate Laurie McIntosh, we dig into the topics educators need to hear most. Laurie shares about her work with the Outside Pin Consulting collective, her upcoming role mentoring student teachers, and why teacher wellness has to be at the center of everything.

We explore what it really means to set boundaries as an educator, not as walls, but as kindness to ourselves and to others. Laurie breaks down her "clear is kind" philosophy, how saying no actually builds trust and community, and why productive struggle matters just as much among colleagues as it does with students.

She also reflects on the lasting relevance of Teachers These Days, drops a hint about her next book for anyone who's ever left a PD session thinking "Yeah, but how?", and shares some must-read picture books to kick off the school year with connection and community at the forefront.

Pull up a chair, and get comfy because this is one conversation you will be happy to have in your pocket!

You can find Laurie online at https://www.lauriemcintosh.ca/ and @mrsmacskinders on Instagram.

Part 1: We Were Never Meant To Do This Work Alone with Laurie McIntosh

Saison 1 · Épisode 22

mardi 18 août 2026 • Durée 33:42

She's our most requested guest, and we were thrilled when she accepted our invite to join us on the Teachers Next Door podcast. We are incredibly honoured to welcome Laurie McIntosh, aka Mrs. Mac's Kinders, to the show!

Laurie is a kindergarten teacher, author, speaker, and advocate who brings pure heart and relentless joy to education. In this first part of our conversation, Laurie takes us through her winding journey into teaching, one that includes rejection, heartbreak, healing, and ultimately falling in love with kindergarten.

Together, we talk about giving kids voice and choice, the difference between knowing your students and actually using what you know about them, why we need to stop "awfulizing" and start celebrating wins, and the one mindset shift every teacher could bring into the classroom this year.

Laurie also shares what's next for her: a new role with Outside Pin Consulting, and preparing future educators at the University of Lethbridge. Grab a cup of coffee and press play. This episode is special.

You can find Laurie online at https://www.lauriemcintosh.ca/ and of course, at @mrsmacskinders on Instagram.

Back-to-School Must-Haves: Classroom Supplies We Swear By

Saison 1 · Épisode 21

mardi 11 août 2026 • Durée 34:29

In this episode, Nicole and Michelle each share their personal, tried-and-true lists of classroom essentials heading into a new school year. From Flair pens to electric pencil sharpeners, magnetic manipulatives to dry-erase pocket sleeves, they're revealing the tools, gadgets, and supplies they genuinely can't teach without.

Nicole is heading back into the classroom and Michelle is making the move into administration so their lists overlap in some fun and surprising ways. Plus, they dish on the great pencil sharpener debate (do you let the kids use it?), the legendary "Woah Boa," must-have teacher snacks, and the student who doubled as a personal AirTag.

Whether you're a new teacher building your classroom from scratch or a veteran replenishing your go-tos, this episode is packed with practical ideas and a few laughs along the way.

Coming up next week: a brand new episode that you won’t want to miss!

The Summer Reset Series Part 4: The Gentle Runway - Back On Your Terms

Saison 1 · Épisode 19

mardi 28 juillet 2026 • Durée 20:52

In the final episode of their summer series, Michelle and Nicole explore what it really means to ease back into the school year without losing the peace you worked so hard to find this summer. They chat about who's actually listening to the podcast (surprise: it's not just teachers), why the "all or nothing" approach to back-to-school is overrated, and the small, intentional shifts they're each making this year — from asking for help setting up classrooms, to refusing to let summer "end" just because the bell rings. If you're worried about school starting up in the fall, this episode is your permission slip to take off on your own terms instead of feeling launched out of a cannon.

Coming up next week: Michelle and Nicole are podcast guests for the very first time when they join the Stunt Brothers on the After the Bell podcast!

The Summer Reset Series Part 3: Letting Go of Teacher Guilt

Saison 1 · Épisode 18

mardi 21 juillet 2026 • Durée 19:32

You survived another school year and now it's time to thrive this summer without the guilt. In this episode, Michelle and Nicole dive into the real, year-round phenomenon of teacher guilt and why it hits extra hard once the school year ends.

They unpack why teachers struggle to switch off (spoiler: there's no "shutoff valve" built in to the job), how the "back to school" content cycle creeps in way too early, and why comparison on social media can quietly steal your rest.

Drawing a parallel to high-performance athletes, they reframe rest as an essential part of doing the job well, and share practical boundary-setting strategies to help you actually recharge this summer. They also chat about the wild response to their husbands' guest episode before wrapping up with a preview of the 4th segment of their series: “The Gentle Runway”, which is all about stepping back into the classroom on your own terms.

The Summer Reset Series Part 2: Reclaiming Your Identity

Saison 1 · Épisode 17

mardi 14 juillet 2026 • Durée 24:58

Who are you when you're not teaching?

Michelle and Nicole take on their toughest challenge yet: a whole conversation with zero talk of school! Trading questions back and forth, they rediscover the people behind the "teacher" label: the yogi, the outdoor enthusiast, the creator, the competitor, and of course, the friend. A candid, joyful look at what fills their cups outside of work, and why reclaiming your own identity might be the best thing you do this summer!

Find one of your friends or family members, and use some of these questions as your guide while you rediscover your identity outside of teaching this summer:

If you had to give an elevator pitch about who you are, but you aren't allowed to include your profession what would you say?
If you had a completely free weekend, with zero family, zero household, zero professional obligations, what's the very first thing you would choose to do?
What's a physical activity, sport, or hobby you love the feeling of playing regardless of whether you win or lose or you get a specific result?
If you were forbidden to talk about your career and couldn't talk about your family, what would you say really brings you joy?
What did you love doing when you were 10 or 12 years old before life got really structured and scheduled?
Where do you feel the most grounded and at peace when you're outdoors?
What does true rest look like for you when you're not just trying to recover from exhaustion? What does rest look like when you're trying to actually fill your tank up with joy?

The Summer Reset Series Part 1: The Art of the Clean Break

Saison 1 · Épisode 16

mardi 7 juillet 2026 • Durée 24:16

In this first episode of our four-part Summer Reset Series, Michelle and Nicole dive into the art of the clean break: why it's so hard for educators to switch off after 10 months of go-go-go, and how they're each navigating the transition into summer this year.

From swapping "teachery" wardrobes for shorts and sundresses, to cleaning out classrooms (and teacher bags) for good, to the surprisingly emotional goodbyes on the last day of school, this episode is a candid, funny, and heartfelt look at what it really takes to decompress. They also share practical rituals—removing school email from their phones, planning slow mornings or lunch dates with friends, and giving themselves grace and credit for a job well done—to help you fully unplug and recharge. Plus, a sneak peek at what's coming next in the series: reclaiming your identity outside the classroom.

Grab a coffee, kick off your shoes, and join Michelle and Nicole as they give themselves (and you) permission to truly rest this summer.

Never Say Never: Our Journeys In and Out of Administration

Saison 1 · Épisode 15

mardi 30 juin 2026 • Durée 32:46

Have you ever felt a calling so strong it scared you, but you couldn't stop thinking about it?

In this episode of The Teachers Next Door, Michelle and Nicole answer one of their most frequently asked questions: what led them into school administration, and what brought them back to the classroom?

Both hosts share their honest, heartfelt journeys from the unexpected paths that drew them into leadership roles, to the quiet niggle that pulled them both back into the classroom, and the parallels they re-discovered between teaching and administration along the way.

In this episode, Michelle and Nicole discuss some upcoming changes for the next school year, too! Whether you're a teacher curious about administration, an administrator longing to head back into the classroom, or simply considering a career change within education, this episode is for you!

The Balls Teachers Drop (And Why That’s Okay)

Saison 1 · Épisode 14

mardi 23 juin 2026 • Durée 31:43

It's June and if you're a teacher, you already know what that means. Report cards, field trips, end-of-year concerts, and a brain so full it starts leaking into your real life. This week, Nicole and Michelle get real about all the balls they're currently dropping (and the ones they're barely keeping in the air).

From tornado nightmares and forgotten permission slips to golf shoes at the ball diamond, June is officially in full effect. Nicole and Michelle break down the chaos across three areas of life: school, home, and just being a human being with friends and feelings.

If you've ordered Skip the Dishes twice this week, sent a child to school with a yogurt tube and a prayer, or found yourself lying awake at 11pm wondering if you booked your summer appointments, this episode is your life raft.

Because here's the truth: none of these dropped balls are made of glass. The kids will be fine. The school year will wrap up. And you are going to make it to the other side.

Come paddle across the finish line with us.
