In today's Monday Mindset, I'm exploring a life mantra that can instantly break down the walls of a "stuck" mindset! Marie Forleo's infectious philosophy that 'everything is figureoutable' breathes new life into the way we tackle problems. I pay tribute to that mindset in this episode, reflecting on the belief that every challenge has a solution waiting to be uncovered.
I want you to take a moment to consider that every obstacle can actually be an opportunity to grow in more ways than one! You'll notice the positive impact of altering our deep-seated beliefs to see that everything—from scheduling snafus to larger life hurdles—is, indeed, figureoutable. Listen in and learn how to weave this mindset into the fabric of your daily life, guaranteeing that no matter what comes your way, you'll have the tools and the tenacity to figure it out.
Here's to another day of intentional living!

Are you ready to take a moment to consider whether or not you're living in the past, present, or future? In today's Monday Mindset, I reflect on the importance of self-reflecting on exactly where you are operating from.
So often we choose to allow frustration or regrets from our past or the fear of the future to completely destroy our mindset and the choices we make today. I invite you to consider taking your thoughts captive and reflect on whether or not they're helpful or actually having a negative impact on your life. It's very likely that those thoughts and emotions that do not serve you are stemming from something in your past or a fear of the unknown.
It can be a challenging cycle to break, but it is definitely one that is worth your focus and effort. I'm excited for you to take a quick moment to listen in today!

On this episode of the Teaching Middle School ELA podcast we're diving into the topic of making informational texts your students' new favorite genre!
Navigating through the complexities of analyzing informational texts can often be a daunting task for our middle school students. In today's episode, we discuss the simple yet powerful trick we used time and time again to actually empower our students when tackling a new informational text.
This innovative tool was crafted to guide students through the intricate process of summarizing, analyzing, and reflecting on their reading. Tune in as we break down each component of analyzing informational text by using the visual of an inverted triangle. We start with the expansive top section where students craft a tag and summary of the text, then transition to the middle section, where students condense their summary using the SWBST method, and finally, we arrive at the pinnacle of the triangle, where students distill their analysis into a succinct main idea!
You'll also grab great classroom discussion starters and thought-provoking questions to encourage students' critical thinking through each stage of the process! (So be sure to grab a pen and paper to take quick notes!)
Whether you've taught informational texts for 1 year or 30 years, this episode will leave you with fresh tools and strategies to invigorate your classroom instruction!
Tune in for an episode full of actionable takeaways!

Get ready for a deep dive into self-reflection on today's Monday Mindset! In this episode, I present the question, "What defines a luxury in your life?". This conversation should challenge the status quo of what the world considers a "luxury" and really push you to consider what you personally value.
Ramit Sethi, the author of "I Will Teach You to Be Rich," offered a fresh perspective on crafting a rich life beyond financial success. I'll take a moment to reflect on his point of view which places a focus on a balance between saving diligently for the future and savoring the present's priceless moments. I explore how a weekend bike ride or a cherished family tradition can be as fulfilling as any material possession and encourage you to intentionally integrate what you define as "luxury" into your everyday life. I hope this episode can be your inspiration to shape a life brimming with personalized luxuries that set you apart from what your feed may want you to think is luxury.

In today's Monday Mindset, I am delving into the empowering concept of abundance and timing.
I challenge the belief that missing out on certain opportunities means failure. Instead, it often signifies that we're not yet fully prepared for what we desire. Just because something didn't happen now doesn't mean it won't happen in the future or that it was what was best for us in this moment.
By adopting a mindset of abundance and understanding that everything unfolds in its own perfect time, we free ourselves from the constraints of self-doubt and limitation. Our boats are always on their way—it's just a matter of being ready to receive them.
Join me in embracing the journey and trusting in the process!
Here's to another week of intentional living!

In today's Monday Mindset, I dive into the profound wisdom shared by Mel Robbins and explore the transformative power of paying attention to life's lessons.
Drawing from Mel Robbins' inspiring words, I reflect on the importance of embracing every moment, even the toughest ones, as opportunities for growth and connection. As we navigate life's challenges and triumphs, it's crucial to ask ourselves: What is life trying to teach me? What am I not paying attention to?
I'm asking you to try shifting your perspective. Instead of asking "Why does this always happen to me?" embrace the question "Why is this happening for me?" By cultivating awareness and embracing life's teachings, we pave the way for profound personal growth and fulfillment.
Here's to another week of embracing life's lessons with open hearts and minds and living intentionally.

Get ready for a transformative Monday Mindset! Today, I'm diving into a fresh perspective on overcoming obstacles and seizing opportunities for growth.
Join me as we reflect on how our perception of obstacles drastically impacts our approach to life. Instead of viewing obstacles as barriers, let's explore the idea of seeing them as detours in the right direction, guiding us toward our true purpose.
Drawing inspiration from Gabby Bernstein's wisdom, I challenge the notion that obstacles are inherently negative. What if they're actually opportunities for growth? Reflecting on my own journey, I've realized that what initially seemed like obstacles were, in fact, catalysts for profound personal growth and transformation.
By shifting our perspective and embracing obstacles as blessings in disguise, we can live with greater peace and ease. It's all about choosing love over fear and trusting that life is happening for us, not to us.
