  • Episode 3: Voice-to-Text survival
    May 18 2026

    Writing isn’t just a mental task; it’s an extraction of physical and cognitive energy. For grad students, teachers, and anyone managing chronic fatigue or burnout, the blinking cursor on a blank screen can feel like a demand you simply can’t afford. In this episode, Teresa breaks down how to bypass the physical toll of the keyboard and the mental trap of perfectionism. Learn how to separate the "creating" from the "editing" by turning your couch into a workspace, using the "Shitty First Draft" protocol, and leveraging the power of the 30-second voice memo. It’s time to stop martyring your physical stamina for a document. Save your hands. Use your voice. This is how we survive the screen.

  • Episode 2: The Virtual Uniform
    May 9 2026

    "Your worth as a student isn't measured by your ability to sit in a hard chair for six hours." 🛋️✨

    In this episode, we’re debunking the "Hard Chair = Hard Worker" myth. If you’re a student navigating virtual school while managing chronic pain, neurodivergence, or a major case of "low spoons," this one is for you.

    We’re diving deep into the "Waist-Up" Masterclass, the science of why your brain loves (and sometimes hates) professional clothes, and how to build a low-energy ergonomic "nest" that actually supports your body.

    What’s inside:

    • The "Window Rule": Better lighting for $0.

    • Enclothed Cognition: Why PJs might actually be your best productivity tool.

    • Camera-Off Advocacy: A word-for-word script to use with your professors.

    • The "Body Scan": A 3-minute guided stretch for the virtual classroom.

    Grab your blanket, keep your PJs on, and let’s get through these virtual hours together. 🥄🧺
