Welcome to the Beyond the Classroom podcast! Hosted by Sandy Patterson, former teacher and certified life coach who has made it her mission to help miserable, burnt out teachers take back balance and joy in their lives. In this podcast you'll learn how to dig deep and get honest with yourself. We’ll get real about making big changes, letting anything that’s not serving you go, and focusing on the most important things and letting everything else go. Most importantly, you’ll discover who you are beyond the classroom; What makes you shine, what makes you special, what lights you up, and how you can share this version of yourself with those around you. Whether you’re a teacher looking for the motivation to fall in love with teaching again, a teacher ready to get the heck out of teaching, or a former teacher, you’ll find inspiration and actionable steps to live the life you’re dreaming about!
