The Go-To Podcast for Teacher Mamas Wanting to Create Work-Life Balance With Healthy Routines *****Top 5% of Podcasts in Education, Self-Improvement and Kids & Family/Parenting***** Do you wish you could stop using up all your patience and energy in the classroom so you have some left for your own kids when you get home? Are you sick of coming home to a constant mess and never-ending to-do list that it feels like you’re working a second job? Do you wish you had more time for yourself, your kids, your husband and your Faith? Are you ready to turn off your teacher brain at the end of the day so you can transition into mom mode? We are so excited you’re here! This podcast will help you enjoy teaching and your home life again, be more efficient and focused with the time you have and create more energy to pour into your family and the things that matter most to you! Hi, I’m Ashley, and I’m Roberta. We are both Wives, and Teacher Mamas with a combined 28 years of experience in the classroom and we’ve both been that exhausted, stressed out teacher mom. We too were overstimulated and overwhelmed, brought too much work home, struggled with keeping up on the house chores and dinner, and did zero things that we enjoyed outside of school. We finally realized that if we were going to live more energetic and balanced lives, we needed to learn different routines, time management, and stress relieving strategies. We created a plan that fits *us* and is actually easy to stick with. A lifestyle that made teaching, momming, and wifeing easier and fun again. And we’re ready to share it with you! If you’re ready to: ***Start finding balance between work and home… ***Get your housework under control so you don’t feel like you need to clone yourself to get things done… ***Find time for yourself, your family, and home with simple routines, time and stress management strategies… ***And have more energy, focus, fulfillment and patience- this podcast is for you! So go grab your coffee and leave those ungraded papers at school, because we are about to dive in!! Get ready to get your binge listen on!!

Today we talk about our thoughts on 8 different ways to say “no” without necessarily just outright saying NO. The 8 different strategies come from the book “Essentialism” by Greg McKeown. So, in today’s Book Talk episode, we talk about the 8 different ways discussed in the book and different examples of how we have used some of the strategies ourselves.

Use an awkward pause
Use a “no, but”
“let me check my calendar and get back to you”
Use an email autoresponder
Use the “yes, what should I reprioritize” method.
Use a bit of humor.
Use the “you are welcome to X. I am willing to Y”
“I can’t do it, but X might be interested”

Today we are talking with someone we met on social. Her name is Jewels and this episode is going to be a bit different than ones we have done in the past because she is no longer in the classroom and had to leave due to stress manifesting in different ways. So today, we are going to talk about how to create a stress management system in your career and life. Do you need an overhaul on your career or do you just need some stress management and maybe a little tweak in your job to help your stress out.

Ashley met Kelly because of the Empower Her Live event back in October. Kelly is a teacher and also a certified holistic nutritionist. We are so excited to talk to her today about nutrition and gut health. Specifically for teachers and how starting (surprisingly) doesn't start with changing our food habits.
