February 14, 2020 Ep 012: Self-Care vs. Self-Indulgence
Self-care.
What IS it?
For so many years, I thought Self-Care was doing things for myself - getting a massage, mani-pedi, hanging out with my girlfriends, going on a date.
But it turns out, most of what I THOUGHT was self-care was actually self-indulgence.
Self-care is creating a life we don't have to ESCAPE.
Whereas with self-indulgence, we're temporarily escaping the current reality.
When I first heard this shift (check it out!), it pretty mind-blowing.
In fact, I'd love to share with you a new program, The Teaching Made Easier Club, that brings self-care quick tips to your inbox 2-3 times a week so that YOU can start adding true self-care into your life, not just occasional self-indulgent practices.
If you'd like to be one of the FOUNDING members for The Teaching Made Easier Club, join SOON! The price is only $7 a month but will be going UP on March 1, 2020!

February 04, 2020 Ep 010: Got Creativity? 3 Ways to Encourage your Students to be Creative
Creativity is just like a muscle,
The more you USE it, the stronger it gets!
By encouraging creativity in your classroom, your students will become more curious, more engaged, and more INTERESTED in the world around them. And guess what this means?? HIGHER test scores & achievement, too! Now of course, best practices in teaching includes encouraging and developing creative, critical thinking skills but is this always a priority? Unfortunately... it's NOT.
Our future depends on the minds of this young generation... on their ability to SOLVE BIG PROBLEMS!
