Shaping Little Minds

Let's just be honest... teaching can be consuming and it can consume much of your life if you let it. That's where I ended up and in the process forgot to truly live my life. If you are in that same place, in today's episode I'm sharing 5 shifts you can start to take to create the live you want outside the classroom. 

• Healing the part of you that always needs to work
• Setting firm boundaries at work
• Leaving work at work
• Surrounding yourself with positive people
• Being okay with where you are right now

Have you ever had the thought of "I'm not enough"? This is a thought that so many teachers struggle with, especially when they face challenges in the classroom. 

In this podcast episode, I spoke to mental health expert Sabrina Trobak all about this belief and what you can do to help yourself break out of that belief and how to help your students do the same.

"Getting ahead does not mean that you’re constantly working. Getting ahead means that you’re working smarter, not harder."

In this episode, we dive into the difference between getting ahead and working constantly as a teacher. It's important to note that the two don't necessarily have to coincide.

"Does this sound familiar?

• Answering emails at 10pm because you feel like you have no choice
• Dragging yourself out of bed exhausted, because everyone says burnout is “just how it is”
• Skipping dinner with your family to finish grading or prepping, so you don’t feel like a bad teacher

If you said yes to any or all of this, I want you to know this: 

It’s not your fault you feel this way. Teaching was not supposed to be like this."

In this episode, I am going to help you start to shift your mindset. I’ve taken audio clips from the workshop to help you understand how to shift your mindset.
