Quitting can be laced with shame. That's why people come up with all sorts of incredible reasons to quit then validate it to themselves or the people in their lives. But what if we allowed ourselves to quit, without resistance, judgement or shame? Then allowed ourselves to listen deeply to the voice within and what still lingers after we say we're through. That's what I'm going to experiment with the next time I want to throw in the towel on my business, my vacation rental company, my career. I'...

Teachers might unknowingly be in a cycle of being poor and staying poor, even after retirement. Then we teach our kids the same way of being and the cycle continues. I'm shifting focus to a more pinpointed conversation about how to make more money in real estate investing, even as a teacher. Teachers can be real estate investors, it just might look different than the typical six figure earning corporate workers. So today I'll explain what The Poor Cycle is and, if you feel compelled, keep listen...

Today we talk about how cleaning up what you've already got instead of impulse shopping or thought-swapping might serve you better in the long run. This whole episode came from a stroll I was taking at the local home improvement store when I noticed how expensive fabric shower curtains were. Instead of buying a new one like I thought I needed, I just cleaned the one I already had. Comparatively, I can clean up my thoughts around what I've got already and make it more comfortable, more accepting ...

One of the ways I think a system can heal itself is from within. Who are the people inside the Education System? Teachers. Teachers are the ones who run this mutha. And if we are equipped with the empowerment to stand up for what's right, do best by our students and ourselves, what can stop us? Awesome part is, we do all this most of the time anyway. So let's not just sit back and comment on how broken the system is. Let's lead ourselves through our own transformations and watch as our students ...

Dreaming is part of creating the future we most desire. Do you allow yourself to dream or do you stop yourself, shame yourself and tell yourself you *shouldn't* be dreaming at all? This is important to note. There's nothing wrong with dreaming, spending time creating a dream life AND telling yourself that it's possible, no matter how impossible you think it is. When we go to how IMPOSSIBLE our dreams are, it's most likely because we don't know every single step of the process to getting to the e...

We all have requirements as professional teachers. I break them down into three categories in the episode for your consideration: 1) State mandates/legal requirements for teaching 2) District and campus requirements as communicated by the manuals and plans 3) Requirements we place on ourselves to fit in, be "perfect" and to please others on your campus. That last one y'all... that last one. That's what I go on about in the episode. If you're a teacher in Texas and you're curious about the TASB d...

Back to student testing data… what I’m noticing teachers are doing is going through testing times of the school year, looking at student data results and potentially beating the crap out of themselves for the students who aren’t meeting the mark. I’m not suggesting that teachers defer to toxic positivity here. If a student is failing and you have a thought about it that makes you feel terrible, it’s time to pause and pay attention. It could be that the thoughts that come to you on auto-pilot abo...

Success Toxicity is the net negative commitment to a definition of success that EXCLUDES the positive by-products that come from failure because of this flawed but systemic notion that failure is bad, will only harm us, and will ruin our futures. This is also why some teachers go through so much emotional turmoil when things "aren't working out" with student performance. The teacher's performance is "failing" because the test scores aren't where somebody said they should be. Then we get the conv...

Last week, I hinted at an episode about toxic positivity so that’s what I’ll be talking about today. Before I started my research online, I wrote down a few ideas of my own that I had on this topic. My main theme in this discussion echoes much of my beliefs about self-responsibility, self-creation and self-actualization. So it may come as no surprise that my ideas, my thoughts regarding toxic positivity is that it’s an inside job. It’s an inside job in its creation and in the solutions for fixin...
