While schools and districts may not be prioritizing breaks for teachers right now, I want you to know that, while it may not be given, it doesn’t mean that it isn’t possible. In this episode, I share how I built my own fall break. I called it my “Fake Fall Break” and it was time for me to step away from the daily grind and honor my need for rest and renewal. My hope is that this episode empowers you to TAKE THE DAY. You deserve to rest and recharge so you can show up as the best version of yourself in and out of the classroom!

Ep. 18-3 Things Holding You Back from Your Next Best Move

I’m Alexis, a growth-obsessed magical black girl and self-help junkie with the gift of gab. As a former middle school English teacher, I’ve endured the burnout, bureaucracy, and all that comes with the teaching profession. Now, I’m here to empower you to step into the most confident, conscious, and authentic version of yourself inside and outside the classroom. Whether you’re a current teacher, former teacher, or a teacher curious about the possibilities, this podcast is about our/a shared journey of becoming. So, get ready to ditch perfectionism, celebrate progress, and find joy in the journey.
