I pull back the curtains and let you in on some serious intimate details of my journey as an educator.

Come learn how to make sense out of your own mess so that you can be the healthiest, happiest version of yourself! (If you need someone to talk to, shoot me an email: [email protected].)Quotables* “We are in the same boat, just not at the same time.”* “We are not static creatures. We either progress or regress.”* “Your talent cannot come to fruition when you’re frustrated.”* “Without pain there is no progress.”* “There is so much strength in our stories.”* “If we do not take care of ourselves first, we cannot take care of anyone else.”Gretchen’s Stamp of Approval* Voxer: http://www.voxer.com/Join elite educators everywhere in snagging tips, tricks and freebies right to your inbox every month!Become #empowered with the Always A Lesson newsletter: https://alwaysalesson.leadpages.co/newslettersignup/Connect with GretchenBlog: Always A LessonFacebook: Always A LessonTwitter: @gschultekLinkedin: Gretchen Schultek BridgersGoogle+: Gretchen Schultek BridgersBook: Elementary EDUC 101: What They Didn’t Teach You in CollegeLeave a Rating and Reviewhttps://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/always-lessons-empowering/id1006433135?mt=2&ls=1Why?This helps my show remain active in order to continue to help other educators remain empowered in a career that has a long lasting effect on our future.How?Search for my show in iTunes or Stitcher.Click on ‘Ratings and Reviews.’Under ‘Customer Reviews,’ click on “Write a Review.”Sign in with your iTunes or Stitcher log-in infoLeave a Rating: Tap the greyed out stars (5 being the best)Leave a Review: Type in a Title and Description of your thoughts on my podcastClick ‘Send’43 min

36 min - 14: My Life’s Motto: Dream BigListen to my very first non-scripted episode where I just speak from the heart on a matter that drives my behavior and outlook on life. I introduced the ‘Dream Big’ mantra to my kiddos after being inspired by the song created by Ryan Shupe and the RubberBand. (See the video here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KwEuNapzt0 ). I share how I have used this message to help my kids achieve more than they could have ever conceived, as well as how my sister-in-law models this motto on a daily basis. You’ll even hear about the ‘Red Plate’ phenomenon in my household. If you have desires in your heart that you have not unlocked or need the motivation to make them a reality, then tune in to this episode!Quotables* My job is to make [students] whole.* I notice you. You are full of so much talent and I love that you are in my life.* I’m not just a teacher. I’m a life-changer.* What is your name? What is your current struggle? I’m here to help you.* How can you reach a goal, if you don’t know what the goal is?* You have to think bigger than what currently is happening.* You can be more than you imagined.Join elite educators everywhere in snagging tips, tricks and freebies right to your inbox every month!Become #empowered with the Always A Lesson newsletter: https://alwaysalesson.leadpages.co/newslettersignup/Connect with Gretchen* Blog: Always A Lesson* Facebook: Always A Lesson* Twitter: @gschultek* Linkedin: Gretchen Schultek Bridgers* Google+: Gretchen Schultek Bridgers* Book: Elementary EDUC 101: What They Didn’t Teach You in CollegeLeave a Rating and Reviewhttps://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/always-lessons-empowering/id1006433135?mt=2&ls=1Why?This helps my show remain active in order to continue to help other educators remain empowered in a career that has a long lasting effect on our future.How?Search for my show in iTunes or Stitcher.Click on ‘Ratings and Reviews.’Under ‘Customer Reviews,’ click on “Write a Review.”Sign in with your iTunes or Stitcher log-in infoLeave a Rating: Tap the greyed out stars (5 being the best)Leave a Review: Type in a Title and Description of your thoughts on my podcastClick ‘Send’39 min

39 min - 13: “If” versus “When” + How = NowWhen we feel at our worst we begin our thoughts with the word “if.” But when we start empowering ourselves to make things happen for the better, our “if’s” turn to “when’s.” But your work can’t stop there. In order to reach a better place mentally and physically in your moment of distress or transition, start thinking “how” you can make these changes happen NOW. Listen to my story and hear how I followed the simple formula of “if” vs “when” + how = now!Quotables* I was trapping myself by only thinking in the forms of dreams instead of developing actionable steps to turn these dreams into a reality.* Sometimes when you are at the end of your rope, you need to tie a knot instead of letting go.* I was happier because I did something about my pain. Being proactive and changing your doomsday to dream day is pretty invigorating!* Your distress or transition is not a forever fog over your life. It is temporary.Join elite educators everywhere in snagging tips, tricks and freebies right to your inbox every month!Become #empowered with the Always A Lesson newsletter: https://alwaysalesson.leadpages.co/newslettersignup/Connect with Gretchen* Blog: Always A Lesson* Facebook: Always A Lesson* Twitter: @gschultek* Linkedin: Gretchen Schultek Bridgers* Google+: Gretchen Schultek Bridgers* Book: Elementary EDUC 101: What They Didn’t Teach You in CollegeLeave a Rating and Reviewhttps://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/always-lessons-empowering/id1006433135?mt=2&ls=1Why?This helps my show remain active in order to continue to help other educators remain empowered in a career that has a long lasting effect on our future.How?Search for my show in iTunes or Stitcher.Click on ‘Ratings and Reviews.’Under ‘Customer Reviews,’ click on “Write a Review.”Sign in with your iTunes or Stitcher log-in infoLeave a Rating: Tap the greyed out stars (5 being the best)Leave a Review: Type in a Title and Description of your thoughts on my podcastClick ‘Send’19 min
