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?

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!!
