Teachers across the U.S. are beginning to head back to their classrooms and their first Back to School PD sessions. And you know what that means, right? Everyone’s asking each other all about their summer breaks.

With your teacher besties, you get to share all the juicy details of where you went and what you did. It feels awesome to reflect on all the great memories you’ve accumulated over the last few weeks, but there’s one deadly little phrase that often pops up in these summer break catch-up conversations. And it’s doing more internal damage to teachers than you might realize.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The one phrase you’re going to want to drop immediately from all your “How was your summer?” conversations (after you realize the negative effect that it’s been having on you).

• The #1 reason why your summer break may have disappeared “too quickly.”

• How to use a simple mindset shift to start viewing your time in a more positive light.
