Ep. 42 - What To Do When You Have Sunday Scaries (with Kelsey Sorenson)
On this episode, I chat with Kelsey Sorenson, creator of Wife Teacher Mommy, about the dreaded Sunday-Scaries. Yup, we’re addressing those pesky, draining feelings that sometimes overtake our weekend as we think, with impending dread, about the week that’s coming. Together, Kelsey and I talk about what triggers the Sunday Scaries, what they mean, and how we can take small actions that make a huge impact in managing the anxiety, overwhelm, and dread that some educators experience on Sunday afternoons. In our conversation, Kelsey doesn’t propose solutions to get rid of the feelings, rather, she reframes Sunday Scaries as an opportunity to listen, learn, and act based on your mental, emotional, and physical reactions.<br /><b><br />Resources Mentioned in this Episode</b><br /><ul><li><a href="https://www.wifeteachermommy.com/sp/educate-rejuvenate-summer-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Click here to register for the Educate and Rejuvenate conference </a></li></ul><b><br />For more information about this episode and the resources mentioned check out my website</b><br /><ul><li>Go to <a href="http://www.theafroeducator.com/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.theafroeducator.com/podcast</a></li></ul><b><br />Find out your teacher type!</b><br /><ul><li>Go to <a href="http://www.theafroeducator.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.theafroeducator.com</a> to take my Teacher Types Quiz</li></ul><b><br />Connect with Kelsey</b><br /><ul><li>Website: <a href="http://www.wifeteachermommy.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.wifeteachermommy.com</a></li><li>Instagram: @wifeteachermommy</li><li>Twitter: @wifeteachermommy</li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/wifeteachermommybykelsey" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://facebook.com/wifeteachermommybykelsey</a></li></ul><b><br />Kelsey’s Bio</b><br />Kelsey Sorenson is a former third-grade teacher and substitute teacher.

Ep. 41 - Myths About Former Teacher Life EXPOSED
In this episode, I’ll be pulling back the curtain on and addressing the myths and assumptions around the realities of being a former teacher. As a former teacher, I have had personal experiences with and witnessed these myths. I feel that it’s important to dispel and challenge the narratives to foster a greater understanding of the choices made by former teachers. Whether you're an educator contemplating a career change, a former teacher seeking validation, or simply curious about the stories/perspective behind those who have left the teaching profession, my hope is that this episode will expand your perspective for the multifaceted journeys of former teachers.<br /><b><br />Resources Mentioned in this Episode</b><br /><ul><li><a href="https://www.theafroeducator.com/post/evolution" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Episode #12 - Evolution </a></li><li><a href="https://www.theafroeducator.com/post/one-year-later-reflections-of-a-former-teacher" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Episode #25 - One Year Later: Reflections of Former Teacher </a></li></ul><b><br />For more information about this episode and the resources mentioned check out my website</b><br /><ul><li>Go to <a href="http://www.theafroeducator.com/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.theafroeducator.com/podcast</a></li></ul><b><br />Find out your teacher type!</b><br /><ul><li>Go to <a href="http://www.theafroeducator.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.theafroeducator.com</a> to take my Teacher Types Quiz</li></ul><b><br />Connect with me!</b><br /><ul><li>Website: <a href="http://www.theafroeducator.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.theafroeducator.com</a></li><li>Instagram: @theafroeducator</li><li>Twitter: @theafroeducator</li></ul><b><br />Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss a thing!</b>
