My summer loving crew,

I was glancing at the calendar yesterday and discovered we only have three weeks left before we begin another year of school.  Have you accomplished what you wanted this summer?  What else is on your to do list before you become crazy hectic again?

You have the time. Three weeks. Go. Go. Go.

With a can’t wait to meet you all soon attitude,

Your Queen, EQ

My No-Nonsense-Aint-Got-Time-For-Haters Listeners,

I’m coming in hot for this one. People love to shame and judge what they don’t understand or know.  And instead of throwing shade automatically, what if we led with curiosity?  What if instead of assuming the worst, we gave grace and asked questions?

So here are my thoughts. People sometimes suck, and they will say hurtful things to you. But that doesn’t mean YOU have to carry that burden. Today, I will show you five ways to respond to people who are on a mission to shame you because we ain’t got time for that.

With a sorta savage, sorta sweet heart,

EQ

Thank you @the.holistic.psychologist for the jumping point for today’s podcast.

Happy Birthday Katie (on Friday, not Thursday). Show her some love on her Instagram. @katierowsey

My fate versus predetermination listeners,

Are you one of those people that believes in fate? Or are you the type of person that believes in predetermination?

I believe that each experience and every person is placed in my life for a reason.  These people that come and go don’t need to have long lasting relationships with me. Small, seemingly mundane moments with individuals can count as life altering as well. It could be to teach me a lesson, have a listening ear, to support, etc.  In today’s podcast, I explore one of my recent “I was meant to meet you” moments while my sister Katie was in town.

Your homework:

--Start to take notice of the people in your life. What is their purpose there?

Your Serendipitous Queen,

EQ

My It’s-Never-Too-Early-OR-Late-To-Find-Your-Passion Listeners,

You are quite the talented person; did you know that? You have something no one else has; use it.  What are your passions? What sets your soul on fire? What do you get giddy to talk about with friends?

Today’s podcast challenges you to begin thinking about and exploring those passions. You don’t need to know what career you want to have yet. You have plenty of time for that, but focus on your strengths, your abilities, and your talents. The job will come. The career will fall into place.

For example, I KNOW my heart is with showing others their value, their worth, and their power. And BAAM, throw me into a middle school to empower young minds.

Now it’s your turn.

What sets your soul on fire?

With a never settle attitude,

Your Education Queen

My Monday Motivational Hip Acronym Listeners,

Whew! What a week. Your Queen has tackled a lot emotionally, physically, mentally, and all of the other -lys since I last posted. :) Therefore, I listened to my body and decided not to force a new podcast this week.

As you know, I aim to provide you the best of whatever topic I’m covering for the week. Well, this time, time escaped me, and rather than rush through a video, I decided to take a different approach.

I preach to you all to listen to your body, so I’m taking my own advice. But don’t you worry, I’ll be back next week, and the week after, and the week after, and all the weeks after that giving you my thoughts, inspirations, stories, and tea.

Until then, listen to YOUR body. If you need rest, take it.

Oh, and don’t forget your manners. :)

With a restful, grateful spirit,

Your Education Queen

My thirsty-for-another-story listeners,

Taking risks involves courage. It takes confidence. It trusts in hope.

In today’s podcast, I explore two stories from my high school days about when I took a risk.  These two moments stand out to me because I believe my gut led my decision for both.

You see, your heart, your head, and your gut give you senses of what to do (or not to do).  Sometimes they are on the same page. Sometimes they are all out of whack.

But what’s important is that you should take risks...especially if you are stuck in a routine and feel a sense of switching things up. You do not have to stay in something that’s comfortable simply because it’s comfortable.  Seek opportunities that allow you to grow as a person.  Begin putting yourself out there. Yes, some risks will land you flat on your face.  But others will enrich your life in unimaginable ways.  Either way, you will never know unless you try.

And yes, I did pass up Disneyworld. And yes, I did rock a duct tape dress to prom. Just watch the video. :)

With an adventure seeking heart,

Your Education Queen

My wanna-make-a-bet crew,

All I need is two minutes to prove you are important. Don’t believe me? Watch this week’s podcast.  We (people in general) lack confidence from time to time and question whether or not we are good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, fill-in-the-blank enough.

Even the strongest minded individuals struggle periodically and need reminders of worth, of value, of bada$$-ery-ness. Yes, it’s a word...it’s just not in the dictionary yet. (I digress.)

So take the next two minutes and watch. Send this to someone who needs to hear it. And  repeat as necessary.

With an open application to Webster's Dictionary,

Your Education Queen

My let’s-kick-off-summer-right listeners,

For those who journal, you will LOVE this week’s podcast. For those who hate journaling and believe it’s not for you, humor me and try it out. :) (What do you have to lose honestly?)

In this week’s podcast, I explore five questions I ask my biological children dubbed our “end of the day wrap up”.  If you seek a positive relationship between yourself and failure, try answering these five questions every day for a month.  You’ll see a difference; trust me.

“Reflection is one of the most underused yet powerful tools for success.” --unknown

With gratitude for summer,

Your Education Queen

My sunblock-wearing-so-you-don’t-get-fried-listeners,

Summer is upon us. And with it, freedoms.

Freedoms from alarm clocks, deadlines, tests, and overall middle school drama.

But before you officially sign off your laptop one final time, I must ask you to perform these five “things”. (You thought I was going to list them here? Paaalllease. I need you to watch, like, and subscribe below (or above) because I’m click-baiting you today!) :)

But seriously, listen, enjoy, and smile.

You are ALMOST there. We did it. We made it. We accomplished something no one else has ever completed...an entire year of schooling in a worldwide pandemic!!!  And although school is wrapping up just in time for summer, EQ will still be giving you weekly podcasts, so tune in every Monday for all your motivational inspirational needs...or I’ll find you (in a non creepy way of course...maybe).

With tenacity and thirst for knowledge,

Your Education Queen

Hey you,

Marianne Williamson is onto something. Her poem “Our Deepest Fear” is without a doubt my favorite.  It’s one of those goosebumps, arm hair raising types of writing that challenges and motivates its readers.

At the end of the day, YOU better not shrink so others don’t feel uncomfortable around you. YOU were born for greatness. YOU already have greatness in you. It’s YOUR job to show that greatness to the world.

SO. GO. DO. IT.

The world is watching.

Your lighthouse,

EQ
