We Teach So Hard!

Ever feel like you're an imposter? Everyone else around you has it all together or fits the teacher mold, but you're not a REAL teacher, because you're not like them. We ALL feel like this sometimes. Come laugh and commiserate with us as we explore the lie #4, a lie we often tell ourselves! It's the IMPOSTER SYNDROME! No antibiotic needed, we promise!

Hush your mouth and raise your hand if you've ever heard the saying, "Those who can do; those who can't, teach." I know, right? Nothing makes us roll our eyes more than that lie. Listen in as we talk shop, laugh a little, and rant a little as we explore lie #3.

Girl! Shut your mouth! Ever have anyone tell you that? Nice girls don't talk politics. Nice girls don't stand up when they're being abused by employers. Nice girls don't speak up when it's wrong for kids. Seriously? Speaking up doesn't mean you're a "B----!" Come laugh, cry, and examine why women teachers believe those lies about "nice girls."

Liar, liar pants on fire! We need to scream it from the rooftops! Society tells us lies about teachers, and we believe them. Join us as we explore lie #1...You are not enough. You know you believe it, at least some of the time. Many of us spiral through a tornado of guilt. Join us as we laugh, rant, and problem solve our way through this belief.
