    Ivy Insights

    The Teacher Mama's Podcast is a fantastic resource for teachers and moms alike. Even though my kids are now graduated, I still find immense value in listening to this podcast. The information and routines shared on this podcast are applicable to any stage of life. Whether you're a current classroom teacher or a former teacher like myself, this podcast will help you find balance and fulfillment in your calling as both a teacher and a momma.

    One of the best aspects of The Teacher Mama's Podcast is the passion and enthusiasm that hosts Roberta and Ashley bring to each episode. As former teachers themselves, they truly understand the challenges and joys that come with being an educator. They share practical strategies, tips, and advice that can be implemented immediately in the classroom or at home. The episodes are intentional and focused, providing valuable insights into self-care, daily routines, time management, work-life balance, and stress relief. Additionally, the hosts often bring on guest experts who offer even more valuable perspectives.

    The worst aspect of this podcast is hard to pinpoint because there really isn't much to criticize. However, some listeners may find that the content is primarily geared towards teachers who are also mothers. While this makes sense given the hosts' backgrounds as teacher-moms themselves, it may not resonate as strongly with listeners who don't have children or those who are fathers.

    In conclusion, The Teacher Mama's Podcast is a must-listen for any teacher or mom looking to improve their lives and find balance amidst the demands of teaching and parenting. The hosts provide valuable insights and practical strategies that can be applied immediately in both personal and professional settings. Whether you're struggling with time management, work-life balance, or stress relief, this podcast offers tangible solutions backed by real-world experience. I highly recommend giving it a listen!

    Today's podcast episode is all about what we can do as teacher mama's when we feel like our future is uncertain and we feel a lack of control. Springtime brings (hopefully) a time when we find out our job assignments for the following school year. Most of us most likely hope we are staying in the same spot. But we also know that might not happen.    I am in a season of uncertainty myself. I'm unsure what next school year will bring. And I am not a patient person. It is really hard for me to wait and see how things will turn out. It is also hard for me to just trust that everything will work out. BUT it is also really important to me that I am present and soaking up the remainder of the current school year. So I used a 3 step process to gain back my control and feel more at peace.    This episode is for you if:  Do you feel overwhelmed at the end of the school year? Do you feel like your future is out of your control?  Are you thinking you might be switching grade levels, buildings, or positions over the summer?  Do you want to manage and control this current situation so you can feel present and at peace?    Wanna work with us to feel more focused and efficient during your work day so you can feel more focused and present during your time at home?    Step 1: Sign up to be an insider with our weekly newsletter.

    We all know that parenting is a never ending job. When we are sick we can call off from work, but we can't call off from being a parent. Sometimes we can get help, and that is great. But most of the time, as moms, we are the last ones in the family to get sick. Everyone else has had the illness and then we get hit with it. Which is actually something really cool. If we are taking care of our hormones in our menstruation years our bodies are literally designed to have a better immune system so that we can take care of our families and babies. But inevitably we do still get sick from time to time. And if you are like me and so many other teacher mamas out there, you can still feel like you need to be and do it all when you are sick.
