  • When The Student Comes Back from the Principal's Office with a Treat
    Jul 20 2025

    🎧 Replay: Open Coaching Call — The Real Shift Beneath Classroom Chaos

    In our opening public coaching call, we explored The Self-Coaching Model together—and how it applies to real, everyday challenges educators face.


    One powerful scenario came up that become our main focus: when a student gets sent to the office for behavior and comes back with a treat. 😳


    Together, we unpacked the thoughts, emotions, and identity layers that show up in moments like these—and how to shift them from reactive to rooted.

    Inside this replay, you’ll hear:

    • How to use The Model to pause, observe, and reframe—even when you’re feeling powerless
    • A real-time coaching example grounded in the messy, emotional parts of classroom life
    • Identity shifts around boundaries, resentment, and what it means to feel supported
    • Beautiful connection, mindset aha’s, and real teacher moments from the chat

    This isn’t just a replay. It’s an invitation into a new way of navigating the hard stuff—with more compassion, clarity, and calm.


    Alright my friend, as we wrap up…


    What you just experienced is only a glimpse of the transformation that’s possible when you’re coached, seen, and supported.


    This public call was a special bonus—but normally, these kinds of honest, identity-shifting coaching sessions happen inside the Educate & Rejuvenate Club. It’s where we meet regularly, go deeper, and support each other all year long.


    💛 The best part? You don’t have to lose the momentum you’ve built during this event.


    You can stay with the cohort.


    Keep growing with the people who get it—who are walking this same “&” path and want to keep choosing both: educating and rejuvenating.

    If today gave you even one aha,


    even one exhale of “oh wow, I needed that,”


    imagine what it would feel like to be supported like that—every single month.

    This isn’t about adding more to your plate.


    It’s about finally having a space to process what’s already on it—so you can show up as the teacher, parent, partner, and person you want to be.

    ✨ If this resonated… that’s your sign.


    Come be part of the Club. (Or simply join us this year for the Cohort!)


    We’re just getting started. And we’d love to have you with us.
