                                    • Ep. 61: Do We Need a National Definition of Bullying?

                                      With 1 in 3 children reporting experiences of bullying, it's clear that something must change. The way our society perceives and addresses bullying plays a significant role in the lack of progress in reducing this harmful behavior.

                                      In today's episode, I discuss:

                                      1️⃣ Proposals for a National Definition of BullyingWe'll explore the various proposals that aim to standardize the definition of bullying across the country.

                                      2️⃣ The Potential Impact of a National DefinitionI’ll share my thoughts on how establishing a unified definition could influence the way we approach and address bullying.

                                      3️⃣ Barriers to Demanding SolutionsWe'll delve into the factors holding society back from demanding effective solutions to stop or reduce bullying.

                                      There is so much valuable information about bullying that could empower people to take action. 

                                      If you're looking to deepen your understanding and become more confident in addressing this issue, check out my book, "Confident, Bully-Proof Bullying," available on Amazon.

                                    • Ep. 60: Teaching and Hustling: Luz’s Journey

                                      Regardless of the profession, most workers likely spend their earnings on necessities like mortgage or rent, food, utilities, and car expenses. Therefore, a side hustle can be an ideal solution for teachers when additional funds are needed, whether for a dream purchase or an unexpected cost.

                                      According to a 2021 survey, 53% of teachers were working multiple jobs, with many citing financial necessity as the primary reason. Additionally, the trend of teachers seeking supplementary income has been exacerbated by pandemic-related stress and rising living costs​ (EdSource)​​ (Coursera)​.

                                      Surveys indicate that side hustles are common among teachers, with many starting these ventures as hobbies. Most side hustles are worked on for 5-10 hours per week, often in the evenings​ (Self)​. This suggests a significant portion of educators are balancing additional work alongside their teaching responsibilities, though specific 2023 statistics for new side hustles are not detailed.

                                      These trends highlight educators' economic pressures and the growing need for additional income sources.

                                      In this episode, I speak with Luz Nazario, a teacher who has successfully managed her side hustle business since 2016. She shares her journey of balancing teaching with running a business.

                                      We discuss:
