The Summer Reset Series Part 2: Reclaiming Your Identity

Who are you when you're not teaching? Michelle and Nicole take on their toughest challenge yet: a whole conversation with zero talk of school! Trading questions back and forth, they rediscover the people behind the "teacher" label: the yogi, the outdoor enthusiast, the creator, the competitor, and of course, the friend. A candid, joyful look at what fills their cups outside of work, and why reclaiming your own identity might be the best thing you do this summer! Find one of your friends or family members, and use some of these questions as your guide while you rediscover your identity outside of teaching this summer:  - If you had to give an elevator pitch about who you are, but you aren't allowed to include your profession what would you say? - If you had a completely free weekend, with zero family, zero household, zero professional obligations, what's the very first thing you would choose to do? - What's a physical activity, sport, or hobby you love the feeling of playing regardless of whether you win or lose or you get a specific result? - If you were forbidden to talk about your career and couldn't talk about your family, what would you say really brings you joy? - What did you love doing when you were 10 or 12 years old before life got really structured and scheduled? - Where do you feel the most grounded and at peace when you're outdoors? - What does true rest look like for you when you're not just trying to recover from exhaustion? What does rest look like when you're trying to actually fill your tank up with joy? Thank you for being here!   Can you please help us grow the Teachers Next Door Podcast?
