    In this episode of the Teacher Self-Care and Life Balance Podcast, we’re diving deep into a topic every educator needs to hear: the warning signs that you need stronger, healthier boundaries.

    If you’ve been feeling exhausted, resentful, or like teaching is bleeding into every corner of your life, this episode is your wake-up call. 🚨

    Inside, I’ll share 17 red flags—10 from your personal life and 7 from your school life—that reveal when your boundaries are slipping. Plus, I’ll walk you through a mindset shift that will change how you see boundaries forever.

    💡 Remember: boundaries aren’t selfish. They’re what allow you to protect your time, energy, and joy—so you can show up fully for yourself, your family, and your students.

    🎯 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • 🔟 10 private-life warning signs you’re neglecting your needs (like constant fatigue, guilt when resting, or short tempers at home)
    • 7️⃣ school-life symptoms of burnout (from always saying yes ➡️ to losing your joy in teaching)
    • 🧠 The #1 mindset shift that makes setting boundaries feel less scary and more loving
    • 📚 Which past podcast episodes to binge next if you want practical scripts and strategies
    • 🛑 Why “pushing through” doesn’t make you a better teacher—it makes you a burned-out one

    💬 Final Takeaway

    Boundaries don’t mean you care less. They mean you’re building a teaching life you can actually sustain. 🌱 Start with one small change this week—like not checking email after dinner—and notice how much lighter you feel.

    2025/08/26

    Send us a text

    In This Episode: 🎧 Grace shares 8 powerful habits that can transform your teaching experience and help you become that "offensively cheerful" teacher who stays calm even when chaos strikes.

    The 8 Happy Habits: 🌟

    1. Set Healthy Boundaries 🚧
      • Protect your energy like it's $24,000 a day
      • It's okay to disappoint people sometimes
    2. Prioritize Relationships Over Perfection 💝
      • Use the "2-10 Rule" (2 minutes for 10 days with struggling students)
      • Create student shoutout circles
      • Build inside jokes and laugh with your students
    3. Practice Micro Moments of Calm 🧘‍♀️
      • Try "Starfish Breathing" (trace your hand while breathing)
      • Use hallway resets (pause at doors, one mindful breath)
      • Create calm classroom environments with soft music/lighting
    4. Stay Organized with Simple Systems 📚
      • Remember: "You don't rise to your goals, you fall to your systems"
      • Delegate routines to students (they're more capable than you think!)
      • Have daily reset routines before leaving
    5. Reframe Your Challenges 🔄
      • Apply growth mindset to yourself, not just students
      • See behavior issues as opportunities to reteach
      • Model mistakes and problem-solving
    6. Celebrate the Small Wins 🎉
      • Write down 3 best parts of your day before leaving
      • Use a "joy jar" in your classroom
      • Tune your radar to good stuff, not annoyances
    7. Separate Your Worth from Your Work 👤
      • Be a complete person beyond just "teacher"
      • Schedule non-negotiable time for YOUR interests
    8. Run Your Own Race 🏃‍♀️
      • Stop comparing yourself to Pinterest perfection
      • Stay out of staff room drama that doesn't concern you
      • Protect your peace at all costs

    Key Takeaway: 💡 Don't try all 8 habits at once! Pick one, make it routine, then add another. Happiness can be synthesized - it's a skill you can learn!

  • Working With Difficult School Administrators (especially if you are on a PIP - Program Improvement Plan)

    Working With Difficult School Administrators (especially if you are on a PIP - Program Improvement Plan)
    2025/08/15

    Send us a text

    Whether you're facing a Program Improvement Plan (PIP) or dealing with a challenging administrator, this episode provides practical strategies and mindset shifts to help you navigate these difficult situations with grace and professionalism. Grace shares her own story of working with a demanding administrator and how changing her perspective transformed the experience.


    What You'll lEarn:


    1. Mindset Shifts

    • Other People's Experiences Don't Have to Be Yours - Don't let colleagues' negative stories shape your reality
    • Focus on Facts, Not Feelings - Write down what has actually happened vs. what you've heard or assumed
    • This is Temporary - A PIP is a chapter, not your whole story
    • Assume Best Intentions - Approach the plan as a tool for improvement, not punishment


    2. Practical Strategies

    • Document Everything - Keep daily logs and confirm conversations via email
    • Request Specific Feedback - Ask for concrete examples of what success looks like
    • Find a Thought Partner - Get support from a trusted mentor or colleague (without gossiping)
    • Focus One Thing at a Time - Don't try to overhaul everything at once
    • Maintain Professionalism - Stay calm, neutral, and professional even when provoked


    3. Setting Boundaries

    • Time Boundaries - Don't let the PIP consume your entire life
    • Emotional Boundaries - Respond, don't react; pause before responding to feedback
    • Communication Boundaries - Don't overexplain, overjustify, or constantly seek reassurance


    4. Growth Opportunities

    • Use the experience to evaluate if this district is right for you
    • Learn what you can, even if the situation isn't ideal
    • Build resilience and professional skills
    • Remember: most teachers outlive their administrators

    Key Quotes

    "Other people's experience doesn't need to be your experience.""This is not a personal indictment - it's often a reflection of a broken system or poor communication."

    These aren't just for teachers on improvement plans.
