Returning from winter break, teachers are well rested and ready to start the second half of the school year. But oftentimes, students come back feeling excited and forgetting all of your procedures and expectations. This can lead to a lot of rough days in the classroom! We were recently on another podcast, Educate & Rejuvenate, where we discussed four tricks for having a rough day reset in the classroom. With teachers going back after the new year, we thought this information was so valuable that we wanted to share it with our listeners as well.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Kelsey Sorenson, a teacher, homeschool mama, certified life coach and author, to dive deep into the issue of teacher burnout. With educators leaving the profession at an alarming rate, we explore what's driving this exodus and how teachers can protect their well-being.A recent Gallup panel shared that 44% of teachers said they are “always” or “almost always” burned out, outpacing all other professions. Perhaps a more shocking statistic than this is most teachers are surprised this statistic isn't higher!Kelsey shares everything she has learned about teacher burnout and how to stop ourselves getting to that place before it actually happens. And here's a hint… it starts with self-compassion and curiosity.Throughout this conversation we talk about:The burnout crisis in educationFactors contributing to the current burnout epidemic Common patterns in burned-out teachersHow to become an observerSelf-advocacy for teachersWe need more of Kelsey's message in the world for teachers. It is time to educate and rejuvenate ourselves to start to reverse the trend of teachers burning out. If you know a teacher that is going through any of the things we talked about in this episode, please share it with them - we need to keep our amazing teachers in classrooms. Rainbows ahead,Ashleigh and AlishaResources mentioned in this episodeConnect with Kelsey via email- hello@educateandrejuvenate or on Instagram @educateandrejuvenateWebsite: www.educateandrejuvenate.comPurchase Kelsey's bookAPPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY Let's hear from you!

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, 'If I can't do it perfectly, why bother doing it at all?' Maybe you've felt this way about your personal development as an educator, believing that you must always feel passionate and energized, and if you ever experience moments of doubt or fatigue, you're somehow failing in your role. Or perhaps it's in how you utilize resources in your classroom, thinking that you need to use every recommended teaching resource to its fullest, otherwise, you're not making the most of the tools available to you.This black-and-white thinking can be a major roadblock in our teaching journey, making us feel like we're either superhero educators or just not cutting it. That mindset can be incredibly limiting, setting us up for unrealistic expectations and unnecessary stress. But here's the twist: What if there's a whole spectrum of success in between?In this episode, my friend Kelsey Sorenson from Wife Teacher Mommy is talking about two major cognitive distortions that could be limiting your mindset in the classroom - all or nothing thinking and overgeneralization.

Podcasting is not only an amazing way to get your message out to a wider audience but also a great way to generate income. (And if making money is your goal, shout it loud and proud!) But to make your podcast an income driver for your business, you need to be strategic and identify the gaps in your current process so that you can understand why your podcast might not be working for you the way you want it to. And that's what we're going to get into today, the 7 potential gaps you may have in your podcast right now preventing you from making a profit. So if you feel like your podcast isn't really making an impact on your business and you're not quite sure what's going wrong, then this more reflective episode will be really helpful for you. I'm walking you through these 7 gaps and sharing questions that I want you to ask yourself to determine if it's a gap you need to focus on closing. (And no, you don't need to take notes, but do take some time to think about each of these questions!) Quick note: If you haven't already, go back and listen to Episode 66 so that you understand the importance of viewing your podcast as a valuable business tool and actually treating it that way to make your podcast profitable.

Are one of those teachers who saves up all of their sick days, personal days, rarely takes a day off? Maybe you think to yourself - "I can't take a day off work because my class would fall apart." Perhaps you feel like it's not worth it to take your day because you have to prepare for a sub and then you'll fall behind on all the work you do. That it's more work to be out than it is to actually just show up. Or maybe you just feel guilty or pressure to not let your kids down or your co-workers because there is a sub shortage. I get it. I really do, but I want you to know how important it is for you to start taking your personal and mental health days. The truth is that using your benefits like taking time off can help reduce stress, prevent burnout, and improve overall physical and mental health when you are prepared and empowered to do so.That's why on today's episode, I brought on Kelsey Sorenson from Wife Teacher Mommy to come chat all about teacher sick days. Seriously, we're diving into some of those mindsets you have that may be keeping you from using your benefits, she's doing a little life coaching to help turn those mindsets around and empower you to prioritize using your benefits, and then she's wrapping it up with spilling the tea on how you can prepare yourself for a sub (like today without any stress or hassle).Kelsey Sorenson is a former third grade teacher and substitute teacher.

Have you ever been sick, but still showed up to teach anyway? Teachers do this so often, and it's usually for one of two reasons. They feel like it's easier to go in than it is to try and put together sub plans (even when they're feeling awful!) or they feel guilty for calling in sick…especially with the current sub shortage.  Our guest today, Kelsey Sorenson, is here to encourage you to change your thought process around taking a day off. She'll share how you can plan for a sub ahead of time so that you can actually take a day off. You will also hear exactly how to prepare your students for your absence, and how you can ensure that your sub feels welcome and will want to return in the future.

Kelsey Sorenson of Wife Teacher Mommy has been a student of mine since 2016 when she bought my very first course on promoted pins. She was a new business owner at the time and that was the first online course she purchased to help her business grow. (I'm so honored to have been the first teacher she learned from online, and the growth Kelsey has experienced in her business since then has been incredible!)   Kelsey then went on to take my Facebook Ads Intensive course and is also a valuable part of my membership community.  Kelsey is always growing and expanding her business -- whether with Facebook ads, new products, new full-time team members, or her new membership which is rapidly growing!   Kelsey's membership, the Wife Teacher Mommy Club is an incredible, supportive community for teachers and homeschool moms where they get access to an INSANE amount of resources so they can teach well. Kelsey has done so much to make sure her membership is fun, positive, and feels like a party, but also provides the practical tools + life coaching support her club members need to succeed.   I can't wait for you to hear all about the creative ways Kelsey adds value to her Wife Teacher Mommy club and all the ways she's grown her business over the years.  You'll hear about her journey from that very first digital product she created to now her enormous Wife Teacher Mommy Club (with more than 700 members!) a huge shop full of amazing resources, and three full-time employees.   Find the full show notes for this episode here: https://brilliantbusinessmoms.com/episode224

I'm so excited because today's topic is something I've never discussed on the podcast, but it's such an important conversation to have. On today's episode, guest Kelsey Sorenson and I are having an open dialogue about providing tools and strategies to use towards a better mental health. Kelsey Sorenson is a former teacher and sub turned homeschool mom and owner of Wife Teacher Mommy. She has helped hundreds of thousands of educators cut down planning time and balance the many roles in their lives with her time-saving resources, blogs, and her new podcast, Wife Teacher Mommy: The Podcast. One of the reasons we decided on this topic is due to the fact that a lot of teachers are struggling with their mental health. It's the end of the year, this is year three of teaching during a pandemic, and the educational gaps are at an all-time low. Teachers are dealing with a lot! Let alone all they have going on personally and at home. So this seems like the best time to have that conversation. Kelsey gives a raw and real conversation about her own mental health journey that will certainly resonate with many of you. Along with her story, Kelsey provides tools and strategies viewers can apply and use today!  SHOW NOTES: https://theliteracydive.com/teacher-mental-health Resources Mentioned: Grab a ticket to Educate & Rejuvenate Free Sub Planning Starter Kit Join the Wife Teacher Mommy Club Connect with Kelsey: Listen to Wife Teacher Mommy: The Podcast.
