Happy New Year everyone!! Thank you so much for listening to the podcast and I hope you enjoy this episode. I'll list the 7 tips below, but I want to emphasize the importance of reflecting on your previous goals, and learning from your mistakes and failures, as well as your successes. I hope you take some time to reflect on your previous year before setting new goals for 2019, and take the time to analyze the bigger picture too.

Even the most successful people lose confidence. It will come and go, but using these three mindsets will help you maintain your confidence or maybe even develop more confidence if you feel like you're lacking it.

The three key points are:

1. Be honest with yourself

2. Surround yourself with supportive people

3. Embrace failure and admit when you're wrong

When you can apply these three mindsets, you'll take more ownership of your life, you'll be more authentic because you won't care how other people think about you, you'll feel better about yourself, you'll start to believe in yourself, you'll feel more optimistic, you'll have more energy and the list goes on!

Hopefully you enjoy this episode and there's a little piece of content that can help inspire or motivate you to think about your own confidence differently. Feel free to leave a review, check me out on social media if you don't already and I wish you the best!

Thanks for listening :)

It's that time of year where we start to feel a little bit overwhelmed (even with the holidays giving us a break) so I hope these 5 Mindsets help you PREVENT that overwhelming feeling!

Here's a quick outline of the 5 tips:

1. Stay present and live in the moment, stop living in the future

2. You're not perfect, so don't judge yourself

3. Eliminate distractions

4. Make a priority list

5. Take a break and recharge

Also, I mentioned I had a perfect GPA, which is false, just to clarify the details of that statement, I got straight A's that semester (and the following semester too) but I believe I earned a 3.9 GPA during that time. I'm a math teacher so I like rounding up :) lol

One more thing! I also had to make a few edits, I know, I know, I said I wouldn't! But I got two phone calls in the middle of my podcast which stopped the recording and since I was already in the process of editing this episode, I just did the whole thing. Not that you care, but I had to get it off my chest! And I'm just letting you know so I hold myself accountable.

Once again, thanks for listening and please leave a review on iTunes!! It would mean the world to me and I'll be giving away a free Live Your Dreams shirt or sweatshirt! Make sure you get a review in by Thursday :)

Hey everyone! This was my first interview of another teacher so I'm honored to have Yanina Jimenez. aka Let's Celebrate Learning on the podcast to talk about some practical tips and strategies that we can start implementing into our teaching practice immediately.

She gave some great insight and all her tips are right on point. There is a strong connection between learning and using storytelling or music (among many other things she shared with us) that help students not only learn more efficiently, but also more enjoyably.

You can follow her on all platforms at:

I just got the new High Performance Planner by Brendon Burchard and I'm beyond excited to start using it!! In it, he has you asking yourself 10 questions every single morning (questions start around 8:20 on the podcast) which will help you develop the right thinking patterns to perform at your highest level.

I'll list the questions below, but I would love if you listened to the whole episode too! Not only are these questions incredibly important to be asking ourselves as teachers (because we want to lead by example and continuously strive for greatness) but these are questions we could have our students asking! Get creative and find ways to get your kids thinking about these things too:

1. One thing I can get excited about today is...

2. If one word could describe the kind of person I want to be today, then that word is...and why I chose it is...

3. Someone who needs me on my A-game today is...

4. A situation that might stress me out or trip me up today could be...and the way that my best self would deal

with that is...

5. Someone I could surprise with a note, gift, or sign of appreciation is...

6. One action I could take today to demonstrate excellence or real value is...

7. One bold action I could take today is...

8. If I was a high performance coach looking at my life from a high level, I would tell myself to remember that...

9. The big projects I have to keep in mind that I want to take on, even if I can't act toward them today are...

10. I would know that today was a great success if at the end of the day I did or felt these things...

And there you have it! Those are the 10 questions I'll be asking myself every morning, and I suggest you start implementing them into your daily practice too!

I hope you enjoyed this episode and please leave a review if you got any value from this episode! It would mean the wold to me, thank you :)

Recently, I read "The Teacher 50: Critical Questions for Inspiring Classroom Excellence" by Dr. Kafele, and I share my own perspective, key takeaways and I share some personal experiences from the classroom.

This is a good one with a lot of emphasis on how we think as teachers, so I hope you gain a lot of value from this episode!

If you do, feel free to leave a review, it would mean the world to me :)

This is the first episode I actually break down a book from the teacher world, so let me know what you think. If you have any other book recommendations, feel free to send me a message. I got a few more lined up in the meantime, so stay tuned for more episodes in the next few days and I wish you all the best!

I recently came across this productivity hack called the Ivy Lee Method, where you prioritize the 6 most important tasks for your day the night before, and start with the most important item first...without stopping until it's done.

Then you move on to the next item until your day is done! If you don't finish any, you pick up where you left off the day before.

It seems simple, but there's a little more involved than just that.

Give the episode a listen and let me know what you think!
