It’s that time of year when some people choose their one word for the year. My word last year was "focus."  Join me today to hear my word, or two, for this year and how to choose your word for 2023.

Word of the Year 2023

Welcome to Empowered Educator. Maybe you’re ready to leave your classroom job and move into administration. Maybe you want to leave public education completely and pursue a career that keeps you in the education field but is different than what you’re doing now. Maybe you just want to make more money or work from home but you're just not sure about the options that are out there. 

Hey friend. I'm Melinda, an educator, entrepreneur, coffee, and Jesus Lover.  When it was time for me to leave the classroom and pursue something different, something more, I knew it completely and I had no doubt that God was telling me to move forward and trust Him. 

 And now, my mission is to empower you to dig deep and know what options are available for teachers ready to transition from the classroom, educators ready to try something different, and educators ready to retire and pursue that second career.  

Imagine, working in a career that sets your soul on fire, or working from home in a career you love, and scheduling your entire day your way. If you're ready to make that change and pursue a different path in your educational career, then you're in the right place. 

Friend, let me show you how to make a change in your life and pursue your true passions with a position that you love while using your God-given gifts and talents to persevere toward your personal and professional goals.

 Grab your coffee or tea, your notebook and pen, and relax in your favorite spot. Friend, it's time to dig deep, take notes, and grow yourself, and choose your next career path.
