Welcome to the Inspired Teacher podcast! I recently found myself on the treadmill listening to 311 when their song "Dodging Raindrops" came on and hit me like a ton of bricks. It made me realize that so much of the lethargy and malaise I've been feeling toward lesson planning lately has been due to my desire to simply dodge raindrops. Today's episode serves as a reminder to me (and maybe you) to focus on the outcomes I do want--not the ones I want to avoid.

Welcome to the Inspired Teacher podcast! Sometimes we find inspiration in the places we least expect it. The thoughts on today's episode were inspired by conversations I have with my son from time to time and Matthew McConaughey's book Greenlights. I hope that this podcast serves as reminder that you also are not the only one from time to time!

Welcome to the Inspired Teacher podcast! I'm very excited about the message in today's episode because I believe it's so important to hear. If you're anything like me, you may find yourself chasing growth a little too often and forgetting to stop and smell the proverbial roses. The message in today's episode comes from Jenna Kutcher from an interview she did with Jay Shetty on his podcast, On Purpose. I hope you enjoy it!
