Hello everyone! We all know that teachers are leaving the classroom in droves. There is a teacher shortage (or more accurately, a shortage of people who want to work in an underpaid and under-appreciated profession). But, not everyone leaving the classroom is doing so because they are unhappy. Many—including myself—have stepped out because of the LOVE we feel for the class, and the passion we have to help as many people as we can in schools. Jennifer Buchholz (also known as @skatingthroughliteracy on Instagram), is a literacy consultant and instructional coach who left the class she loved to serve classes elsewhere. Not only is she spreading great literacy knowledge on social media, but she is also open about her story and why she changed her role this year. Whether you are thinking about leaving, want to know there are people still enjoying the work they do, or want a different perspective on why a teacher would choose a different role, this episode is for you! If you missed part 1—check it out here. In part 2, we dive DEEP in on helping teachers, being a leaner as a leader, and why on Earth we still love this work. If you want more great literacy focused content, check out our sister show, Craft & Draft and our upcoming training on January 7th, 2023. This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators—and their professional book, Textured Teaching: A Framework for Culturally Sustaining Practices by Lorena Escoto Germán. With Culturally Sustaining Practice as its foundation, Textured Teaching helps secondary teachers stop wondering and guessing how to implement teaching and learning that leads to social justice. Lorena Germán shares her framework for creating a classroom environment that is highly rigorous and engaging, and that reflects the core traits of Textured Teaching: student-driven and community-centered, interdisciplinary, experiential, and flexible. The actionable strategies Lorena uses to bring Textured Teaching values to life illuminate what is possible when we welcome all types of texts, all types of voices, and all forms of expression into the classroom.

Carol Guttery decided to structure her life a little bit differently when she turned 50. Her husband had just retired and she wanted to spend less time commuting to work and more time enjoying life with him. Traveling was something Carol always loved to do and she just didn’t get to do enough of it. So, she quit her job and worked on her ‘next step in life’ while being fully committed to traveling around the world. Find out more about Carol and her journey on this week’s show. Key Takeaways: *What was going on in Carol’s life when she turned 50? *When Carol quit her job, she was finally able to see several conservation projects she was a part of in person/onsite. *When you go to a new country, spend time doing things you’re passionate about! Don’t like art? Don't go to museums. It’s okay! *There is a distinction between traveling solo and traveling alone. *What did Carol like the most about Singapore? *When is Carol’s next solo trip? *Icelandair is doing some really cool things right now with the way they’re structuring their flights. *On Carol’s website, she has organized it in such a way when you can explore ‘alternative activities’ of different places in the world. *Own your own travel life!

Mary Cecchini is currently based in Portland, Oregon and hosts both international and domestic trips for groups of women of all ages. Mary was burned out in her corporate career and when her mother got sick, she had a real wake up call. She knew that no one was really going to care if she nailed that presentation today if she woke up dead tomorrow. There had to be more to life than this, and there was. When she started traveling solo, it led her down a path of self-discovery and even a new business venture! Her biggest ‘ah-ha’ moment while traveling solo is that there are so many non-traditional jobs out there and different ways to experience and live life. There is no such thing as the ‘wrong way’ of doing things. Key Takeaways: *Through Mary’s business, she hosts small groups of women on trips located all over the world. *What inspired Mary to get started in this work? *What were some of Mary’s biggest discoveries and ‘ah-ha’ moments when she traveled solo? *What would happen if tomorrow was your last day? *During Mary’s travels, she met a lot of people who had non-traditional jobs and this inspired her to find other options for more fulfilling work. *We each have our own journeys to go on. Not everyone discovers this lifestyle on the same timeline. *You have to want this business or the new airline ticket more than you want that new pair of sunglasses or those daily coffees. *There are different ways to live your life! *What is Mary’s definition of solo travel? *What has Mary noticed about the women who go on these group trips with her? *How does Mary structure her trips? *Do women end up branching out on their own after going on one of Mary’s trips?

Hello everyone! Jennifer Buchholz here. I'm so glad to introduce you to the first episode of Go Solo Live, where we introduce inspiring women who are out there living their life to the fullest. My goal for this podcast is to showcase how the world isn't really that scary of a place, especially if you know how to take the appropriate measures. Joining me on this episode is Kelly McDermott, someone who decided to get out there and travel when she was 36-years-old. After coming out of a divorce, Kelly found herself needing more out of life. People all over the world have some pretty old-fashioned ideas about women and traveling alone and Kelly addressed some of those on our call. Despite experiencing a bit of prejudice, Kelly still wouldn't change the experience for the world. Key Insights: *Why are you traveling alone? What an old-fashioned question! *Who is Kelly? *Where was Kelly before she decided to travel by herself? *Kelly wasn't running away. She made a concise choice to travel and recover from a bad divorce. *Kelly was 36 when she started this journey. *What did Kelly's family think of her going off to explore the world? They were very supportive! *However, a lot of people feared for Kelly's safety. *How did Kelly ensure her own safety? What kind of things did she do beforehand? *Fear of the unknown is drastically scarier than the reality. *Do your research! Technology makes it so easy to get the info you need. *Kelly discusses her decision to travel in a group for specific areas vs. traveling solo. *Traveling in a group takes a lot of pressure off your shoulders. Sometimes you need a break from planning and researching your trips! *What kind of reactions did Kelly get when she was traveling alone? *While planned things are great, it’s the unexpected things that really stand out. *What are some of the key highlights that Kelly learned when she was traveling? *Why should people, who are currently of midlife age, travel more? *Solo travel is the ultimate form of self-care.

This episode gets raw and honest, so be aware of who might be listening in with you. A Special Quote for Jennifer “Don't lament so much about how your career is going to turn out. You don't have a career. You have a life. Do the work. Keep the faith. Be true blue. You are a writer because you write. Keep writing and quit your bitching. Your book has a birthday. You don't know what it is yet.” - From Brave Enough by Cheryl Strayed Running Away from a Bad Country Song In 2013, Jennifer Buchholz wanted to get numb. Her relationship of 10-years was ending, she was caring for her sick father, two of her cats died and she had just turned 40. She, like most of us, thought running away would make her problems disappear. Even though she felt guilty about planning her trip while her father was bedridden, she realized she really could just pick up and take off on her own. She was now single. She didn’t have any children and she could work remotely. So she called a travel agent with her two prerequisites, warm and all-inclusive. An Unlikely Pick-me-Up Jamaica was fun but during her flight home, Jennifer was confronted by the thought of returning to an empty house. She was embarrassed to find someone staring at her while her uncontrollable tears were thinning the cheese sauce of her airport nachos. The scruffy man asked her if there was something he could help her with and she tenderly replied to him “Can you make me laugh?” Making Choices In 2014, Jennifer felt lucky to be chosen for a study abroad program in New Zealand. She used her time alone to read books on how to process grief and ponder about what her future might look like. She wrote down what she was feeling and the writing helped her to get unstuck. She found that writing cleared her mind and gave her a freedom she desperately needed. Feeling Like a Fraud Transitioning from being a “rules girl” to an entrepreneur didn’t feel natural to Jennifer. She found the path of the entrepreneur scary, messy and unclear. She was faced with trying to define who she was and who she wasn’t (I Am Habits #1). Still, she kept writing with the intention of sharing her experiences with others. Women Aren’t Supposed To Jennifer’s physical needs didn’t subside just because she was no longer in a relationship. She found herself wanting sex with a variety of people in a variety of ways. She didn’t know what sex was supposed to be like after 40 or what it took to release her own pleasure. She DID know she wanted men to want her and her body. She craved validation and she found it through sexual encounters. She was able to let go of her body image insecurities, to let go and enjoy.
