What Is Your Why?

Uncovering motivations Beyond The Lesson Plan!

Welcome aboard the Hot Mess Teacher Express, the weekly podcast where we celebrate educators and delve into the heart of our impact on students. I'm your host Jess Smith, here to guide you through a thought-provoking journey about the essence of our teaching lives. 

In this episode, we will be tackling a profound, yet often misunderstood question: "What is your why?" This query can feel like a double-edged sword for many educators, sometimes used unfairly against us. But we're flipping the script to uncover how understanding your 'why' can be empowering, providing a sense of purpose and direction, especially in moments when you feel unheard.

We dive into the diverse reasons teachers step into the classroom and why it's crucial to carve out time for this self-reflection. I share my own compelling story of transitioning from a degree in Business Economics to the world of teaching, revealing the passion and motivations that fuel my dedication. We'll also hear from fellow Hot Mess listeners, as they share their heartfelt reasons for choosing this noble profession.

So, join us on this reflective ride on the Hot Mess Teacher Express as we explore the significance of knowing your 'why'. Don't forget to follow us across social media to be part of our vibrant community of educators.
