It's Sunday afternoon and you've done everything right. The laundry is folded, the plans are ready, and you're still somehow at school in your head, replaying a conversation from Thursday and bracing for Monday morning.
If teaching feels like something that's happening to you instead of something you're choosing, you're in the right place. You're not behind, you're not failing, and you're definitely not alone.
I call that pattern Teacher Brain. It's a collection of protective thoughts and beliefs that formed to keep you safe and good enough, running strategies that made sense once but ask a lot of you now. Teacher Brain isn't a flaw, and it has good intentions underneath all of it.
When you understand what it's protecting you from and what you actually need, you can give those parts of you new jobs. That's the work we do here, together.
I'm a former 3rd grade teacher, a certified life coach, and a homeschool mom.
In 2014 I left the classroom and started Wife Teacher Mommy, sure that leaving teaching would fix everything. The business took off, but the exhaustion followed me right out the door. In October 2019 it caught up with me in an emergency room.
A few months later I found my first life coach, and that was the turning point. What I learned about myself changed how I work, how I mother, and how I teach, and I knew other teachers needed it too. So I built Educate & Rejuvenate.
Started Wife Teacher Mommy, creating teacher resources while subbing
Went viral on Pinterest and became known for our sub plans and binders
Hit a wall with burnout and ended up in the ER
Found my first life coach and everything started to turn
The Club was born as the Wife Teacher Mommy Club
Brought coaching inside the Club
Hosted our first summer conference with over 3,000 teachers, and we've hosted one every summer and winter since
Started the Educate & Rejuvenate Podcast
Released the Educate & Rejuvenate app
My book, Educate & Rejuvenate, was published
Brought the podcast to YouTube, where you can now watch every episode
I started this in the margins of my day, and it has grown because of the teachers who showed up. Thousands of you have joined us at the summits, in the Club, and on the podcast, and what makes it work is that we do it together. I get to coach you, and you get to practice alongside other teachers who understand.
Join us for this FREE webinar to help you deal with feelings of overwhelm and bring balance to your life!
