14 Sep 2023Downgrading the Drama in Teaching00:12:54

In this episode, we explore the drama that often unfolds within our minds. Teaching is a profession that can lead to stories that are over-dramatized by our own thoughts. Join us as we shine a light on these narratives and provide examples of how to untangle and dedramatize the tales we tell ourselves.

Teachers, have you ever found yourself caught in the grip of a dramatic story your mind has crafted? It's a common occurrence in the teaching profession. The pressure, the challenges, and the constant flow of interactions can lead our minds to exaggerate the narrative of an event. We'll delve into these scenarios and explore practical examples of how to bring these stories back down to earth.

We'll share insights and strategies that empower educators to navigate the intricate web of thoughts and emotions that can accompany teaching. By recognizing and dedramatizing the stories we create, we can regain clarity and focus in our profession.

In this episode, we dive into the key principles and strategies for creating a life you truly love. Inspired by the transformative experience at the BODi conference, we explore the common themes that emerged and how they can be applied to our lives as educators.

We begin by discussing the importance of setting a clear vision and goal-setting. Successful individuals establish a vision for their lives and create actionable plans to achieve their desired outcomes. As educators, we are encouraged to envision the life we want—whether it's finding work-life balance, prioritizing self-care, or setting boundaries in our professional lives.

Taking massive action and overcoming the fear of failure are essential components of success. We share stories of individuals who persevered through setbacks and highlight the significance of consistent and bold action. Embracing risks and stepping out of our comfort zones is a crucial step towards personal and professional growth. We discuss how we can overcome our fears and embrace new opportunities.

Continuing personal growth and development is a hallmark of successful individuals. We explore the power of a growth mindset and how it influences our achievements. By dedicating time each day to personal development, such as reading or listening to podcasts, we can foster continuous learning and enhance our skills.

Collaboration and building relationships are key aspects of success. We emphasize the significance of supporting others and creating a growth-oriented community. Surrounding ourselves with positive and growth-minded individuals can fuel our own personal and professional growth.

Cultivating gratitude and appreciation play a vital role in achieving success and overall well-being. We discuss the benefits of practicing gratitude and share practical techniques for incorporating gratitude into our daily lives.

In conclusion, we highlight the importance of incorporating these habits and mindsets into our lives. By setting a vision, taking action, embracing risks, fostering personal growth, collaborating with others, and cultivating gratitude, we can create a life we love.

27 Apr 2023The Power of Positive Thinking: How It Can Transform Your Life00:16:47

In this podcast, we explore how positive thinking can have a profound impact on our lives. We discuss different ways we think negatively, such as catastrophizing, overgeneralizing, should statements, black-and-white thinking, and personalization. The good thing is that we can rewire our brains to think more positively. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to form new neural connections, which can lead to positive growth and change.

We also discuss the benefits of positive thinking, such as improving our ability to pay attention, focus, and solve problems faster. It can also increase resilience, helping us bounce back from challenges and setbacks, which can lead to achieving goals and being more successful.

We provide tips to think more positively, such as noticing your negative thoughts, reframing them into positive thoughts, practicing gratitude, and surrounding yourself with positivity. Positive thinking is contagious, and so is negative thinking. By focusing on positive thoughts and experiences, we can rewire our brains to reinforce positive patterns of thinking and behavior.

18 Jan 2024Are You Burnt Out Even After a Break?00:11:39


In today's episode, we're delving into a topic that hits close to home for many educators: Feeling Burnt Out After a Break.


It's a scenario we've all faced – the frustration of returning to school after a well-deserved break, only to find ourselves still grappling with burnout. The expectation of feeling refreshed and rejuvenated clashes with the reality that burnout doesn't magically disappear with time off.


Join us as we explore the harsh truth: Taking a break isn't a cure-all for burnout. If you return to school with the same mindset, habits, and routines, burnout is quick to make a comeback. The key lies in identifying the root of the problem and confronting it head-on – a crucial step in truly overcoming burnout.


In this episode, we're not just acknowledging the issue; we're equipping you with actionable strategies. I share four practical tips to help you address and conquer burnout.

21 Mar 2024Work Life Balance and Getting the Most Out of Spring Break00:12:02

Hey everyone, welcome back to The Teacher Burnout Podcast. Today, we’re revisiting a topic that’s pretty close to our hearts - the so-called work-life balance. You know, with spring break just around the corner, I thought, "Why not dig up episode number three from the archives?" It’s all about making the most of our breaks, and honestly, it feels like the perfect time to talk about this again.


We often hear about achieving a perfect balance between work and life, but let’s get real for a moment. In teaching, that idea can seem more like a myth than an achievable goal. It's not about splitting your time 50/50 between work and play; it's about finding a rhythm that works for you, recognizing that some parts of the year will be crazier than others.


In this episode, I’m diving into why it’s okay to have seasons that are busier and why it’s crucial to fully disconnect during quieter times. I’m talking complete detachment - from ignoring emails to turning off notifications. It's about giving yourself permission to take a real break, to recharge in whatever way works best for you.

18 Jul 2024Time Mindset Matters: Abundance vs. Scarcity Thinking for Teachers00:16:08

Do you feel like you never have enough time? Do you wish you could create more time in your day? The number one thing I hear from clients is how busy they are. In our culture, being busy is often seen as a badge of honor, a sign of importance. But is this constant busyness really serving us?

In this episode we will talk about:

  • Reframing Your Perception of Time: We all have the same 24 hours, but our perception varies. Shifting how we view time can help us feel less overwhelmed.
  • Scarcity vs. Abundance Mindset: A scarcity mindset leads to stress and anxiety, while an abundant mindset promotes calm and confidence. Learn to prioritize tasks and enjoy the present moment.
  • Practical Strategies: Implement routines, set realistic priorities, and create boundaries to better manage your time and achieve your goals.
