In this episode, I dive into strategies for managing teacher overload, a challenge that many educators face. From planning ahead to setting realistic goals, I will provide you with actionable steps to help you find balance and reduce stress.

For many of my teaching years, I allowed myself to be in a constant state of overwhelm, feeling like I was chasing my tail while it seemed every other teacher had it all together. I was a hot mess.

It wasn’t until I applied strategies from outside of the teaching industry to my daily life that I was able to break free from this feeling and create a completely new reality. I became super prepared for everything within school hours, no longer giving away as much of my time outside of work, and gaining more time for myself.

I want EVERY teacher to experience the power of what I achieved, which is why I'm sharing 11 of my most powerful strategies to help you navigate the demands of teaching life and regain your free time!

But it's not just about strategies—it's about mindset. I'll encourage you to celebrate your victories, recognize your impact, and embrace the support of your colleagues and friends.

Welcome to Teaching Unfiltered, where we peel back the layers of doubt and rediscover the power within you as an educator.

In this episode, I'll take you on a journey through my own struggles and triumphs in the teaching world. Like many, I once gave my power away to external forces, believing I needed to conform to others' ideas of success.

But here's the truth: the path to success isn't a one-size-fits-all formula. If the work you're doing doesn't ignite your passion and excitement, then it's simply not meant for you. You don't have to change who you are to succeed; in fact, embracing your authentic self is the key.

Join me as I share my experiences from my early days as a registered nurse transitioning to a classroom teacher, educational author, and owner of Lizard Learning. I'll reveal the mindset shifts and personal growth that led me to create a fulfilling career and life around education.

Teaching Unfiltered is all about empowering educators to find their own path, whether you're just starting out or a seasoned teacherpreneur. I'll dive into topics like setting boundaries, boosting confidence, and finding joy in the chaos of teaching.

So if you're ready to break free from limiting beliefs and tap into your true potential, hit that subscribe button. Let's embark on this journey of growth and discovery together, as we uncover the blueprint for your soul's success.

Tune in to Teaching Unfiltered for insights, inspiration, and practical tips to navigate the world of education with authenticity and purpose.

Because your success as a teacher starts from within.
