Episode Highlights: The Self-Care Connection : Why creating effective sub plans is essential for your wellbeing Substitute Teaching Insights : Lessons learned from 5 months of subbing in various schools and grade levels 7 Key Strategies to ensure your classroom runs smoothly in your absence The Self-Care Connection Taking time off when needed is essential for teacher wellbeing, but many educators avoid absences because preparing for a substitute feels more stressful than working while ill. This episode reframes substitute preparation as a crucial self-care practice. A Substitute's Perspective After 20+ years of classroom teaching, Grace gained valuable insights from substitute teaching across: Grade levels from TK through 11th grade 11-12 different schools Various school cultures and resource levels 7 Strategies for Substitute Success Create a template with your master schedule, important routines, and student information Plan review activities rather than new content Provide clear tech instructions or designate student tech helpers Establish a buddy teacher system who can check in and support with challenging students Set up incentives or consequences for student behavior during your absence Have emergency activities available for unexpected situations Document policies in writing regarding phones, computers, seating, and other classroom procedures Final Thoughts Remember: You are a human first and a teacher second. You deserve to take time off when needed without stressing about classroom chaos. With proper preparation, both you and your substitute can succeed!

How These Common Limiting Beliefs Are Fueling Your Teacher Burnout 40:16

Send us a text In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the science behind limiting beliefs and how they specifically show up in education and the lives of passionate teachers . Learn practical strategies to identify, challenge, and transform the unhelpful stories you tell yourself about teaching that keep you stuck in burnout cycles . Key Points 🔍 Limiting beliefs are thoughts that restrict our potential and happiness 🧠 Our brains are pattern-seeking devices that filter information based on our beliefs ⚠️ We should evaluate beliefs on whether they're resourceful, not whether they're "true" 💡 With awareness comes choice - we can reframe unhelpful beliefs 🔄 Your brain will find evidence to confirm what you already believe (confirmation bias) Common Teacher Limiting Beliefs "I have to do it all to be a good teacher" → "I am most effective when I focus on what I do well" "Saying no makes me selfish or unhelpful" → "Setting boundaries is an act of self-respect" "If I rest, I'm lazy" → "Rest fuels my ability to show up as my best for students" "If students/parents aren't happy, I'm failing" → "I can do my best, but I can't control others' feelings" "It's my responsibility to fix everything" → "I can provide guidance and support, but I can't fix everything" 3-Step Process to Overcome Limiting Beliefs Identify the limiting belief when it appears Challenge it by seeking contrary evidence Replace it with a more empowering belief Quote to Remember "We see the world not as it is, but as we are. Most of us see through the eyes of our fears, our limiting beliefs, and our false assumptions." - Robin Sharma Want to truly thrive in teaching without sacrificing your personal life?

Send us a text 🌟 Teacher Growth Reimagined: Why "Being" Beats "Doing" - A Fresh Take on New Year's Resolutions Are you one of the 80% of teachers whose New Year's resolutions have already fallen apart? Don't worry - you're not alone! Let's ditch the "new year, new you" pressure and focus on something more powerful: identity-based growth. 🌱 Key sections of this episode: Identity Over Actions 💫 Focus on WHO you want to be rather than WHAT you want to do Your personality isn't fixed - you can intentionally shape it to align with your goals Remember, "Your energy teaches more than your lesson plans." How you show up matters. Creating Your Teacher Avatar 👩‍🏫 Visualize your ideal teaching self Define how you want to show up in the classroom Example attributes: Prioritizing connection before correction Bringing joy to learning Building students up, not breaking them down Maintaining healthy boundaries The 3-Minute Morning Practice ⏰ That Can Transform Your Growth Power Questions for Self-Reflection 🤔 "What would my ideal teacher-self do right now?" "How do I want to be remembered?" "Do my actions match my intentions?" Remember: You don't need a "new you" - you just need to reconnect with the amazing educator you were before stress and overwhelm took over. Simple doesn't mean easy, but focusing on who you want to BE rather than what you want to DO creates lasting, meaningful change. #TeacherGrowth #TeacherLife #TeacherWellness #EducatorBalance #TeacherSelfCare #TeacherMindset #TeacherTips #TeacherSupport #TeacherMentalHealth #TeacherEmpowerment Want to truly thrive in teaching without sacrificing your personal life?

Send us a text In this heartfelt mini-episode, Grace shares a "Lunchbox Love Note" to help teachers navigate the dreaded Sunday Scaries. As winter break ends and the hustle of teaching looms, many educators feel a mix of anxiety, dread, and resentment. Grace reminds you that these feelings are normal—and that you’re not alone. 💡 What You'll Learn in This Episode: 🌈 Why it’s okay to feel conflicted about going back to school. 🛑 How to stop guilt from stealing your joy today. ❤️ A reminder that at least one student—and likely more—is eagerly waiting for the safe, calm, and structured environment you provide. 💪 Why you don’t need a “new year, new you” resolution—just a return to the joyful, unexhausted version of yourself. ✨ Teacher Takeaways: You’re human, and your emotions are valid. You became a teacher to make an impact, and that impact is felt deeply—even if it doesn’t always show. Remember: students who test boundaries often need your calm, consistent care the most. 📌 Actionable Advice: Give yourself permission to feel your feelings without guilt. Focus on the joy and impact you bring to your students. Ditch overwhelming resolutions—small, healthy habits are the key to feeling better.
