Join us in this episode of "Educators Moving On" as we explore the transformative journey of Dana Gastich French. A seasoned educator, Dana shares her story of breaking free from the confines of the status quo and discovering her untapped potential.

The conversation delves into the challenges Dana faced while conforming to traditional educational norms. She reveals the pivotal moment when she realized there was more she could offer, prompting her to step out of her comfort zone and embrace innovation.

This episode serves as an inspiration for educators seeking to move beyond established boundaries. Dana's story is a testament to the courage it takes to explore new horizons in education. "Educators Moving On" with Dana Gastich French is a rallying cry for educators ready to embrace change and unlock their full potential in the dynamic landscape of teaching.

" I had a clear sense that I needed to make a change or the system in which I was working was not ready for the change that I was advocating for. However, when it wasn't received well, I would look back at myself and believe the narrative that I was, in fact, the problem.

And it's really hard to bear witness as an administrator in a system to inequities to fight for them and speak up for them and to be told that I was essentially too much. But what I recognized through conversation with other colleagues is that there are systems that do have readiness for this, and that the reality in which I was living was not the reality everywhere.

So I needed to stop turning the blame on myself and saying, you have a gift to share. The fact that it's not being received here doesn't mean that it's unworthy or that you're unworthy. It means you need to find a setting that matches what you have to share. "

When was the last time you shared you're story?

The raw, unfiltered, beautiful mess that is you your journey, when did you last share that?

Statistics say that a staggering 70% of women hold our stories so close to our chest and kept away from the world, that it leaves us feeling depressed and disconnected.

In this Episode of the Educators Moving on Podcast, Dr. Shenelle DuBose will be discussing the importance of sharing your story and how it will help you get into holiday bliss this season.

"We are complex individuals. We are very rich and textured and we are imperfect. I But it's our story and it's a chapter in our book."

Do you ever find yourself daydreaming about success? Perhaps you maintain a list or a vision board year after year, yet you never take any action.

It's common for people to harbor grand aspirations, but turning them into reality is an entirely different challenge.

In this episode of the Educators Moving On Podcast, Dr. Shenelle DuBose and Linda Pritchard from Fundamentals by Linda Pritchard delve into the obstacles and stumbling blocks that hinder us from pursuing our dreams.

They explore:

  • The excuses we use to prevent ourselves from making progress.

  • The fears that hold us back, preventing us from realizing our full potential.

  • The importance of setting achievable goals and breaking them down into manageable steps.

  • Strategies for overcoming self-doubt and building self-confidence.

"I wasn't honoring myself. I wasn't taking care of my vision, because you have to protect your vision. I don't want to live in regret, and I know I'm not going to be able to do everything and make everything happen perfectly or meet every goal, but I want to at least attempt. So if I try and I fail, at least I know I tried as opposed to feeling bad because I didn't even try."

Many of us can relate to experiencing moments or even prolonged periods in our lives when we feel persistently overwhelmed, stressed, and out of control. These emotions can be both physically and emotionally taxing, leaving us feeling drained and fatigued. Such a state of chronic stress and exhaustion can have a profound impact on several crucial aspects of our lives:

  1. Relationships: When we are constantly overwhelmed and stressed, it can become challenging to be present in our relationships. We may find ourselves irritable, impatient, or emotionally distant, which can strain our connections with loved ones. Over time, this strain can lead to conflicts, misunderstandings, and even the deterioration of important relationships.
  2. Work Performance: Persistent stress and exhaustion can also spill over into our professional lives. It may result in decreased productivity, difficulty concentrating, and a reduced ability to meet deadlines or complete tasks efficiently. This can harm our career prospects and job satisfaction, potentially leading to burnout.
  3. Self-Care: Our ability to take care of ourselves, both physically and mentally, often takes a backseat when we're overwhelmed and stressed. We may neglect healthy eating habits, regular exercise, and relaxation practices, which can exacerbate our exhaustion and negatively impact our overall well-being.
  4. Purpose and Motivation: Chronic stress and exhaustion can make it difficult to maintain a clear sense of purpose and motivation. We might start questioning our goals, values, and the direction of our lives. This can lead to a sense of aimlessness and dissatisfaction, as we struggle to find meaning in our daily activities.

Dr. Shenelle DuBose's discussion on the podcast "Educators Moving On" sheds light on how chaos in our lives can affect all these crucial aspects. She likely explores strategies and insights for managing and mitigating this chaos to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.

We all have habits, both good and bad, but have you ever stopped to think about how those unhealthy choices can create a ripple effect throughout your life?

Imagine this: you hit the snooze button one too many times, skip breakfast, and rush to work. Already, you've set the tone for the day with stress and chaos. This seemingly innocent habit of not giving yourself enough time in the morning can lead to increased stress levels, decreased productivity, and even strained relationships as you bring that morning rush energy into your interactions. But that's just the beginning.

On this episode of the Educators Moving On Podcast, Alisha Ashford and Dr. Shenelle DuBose discuss how unhealth habits create a web of effects that can hold you back from the life you truly want. But the good news is that just as negative habits can snowball, positive habits can too.

As educators we unknowingly adopt certain habits under the pressure of work, many times due to the social strain, or simply just the dynamics of the teaching professions. These habits first seem harmless. Perhaps even helpful in the short term, but they lead to significant health and wellness concerns.

On this episode of Educators Moving on Podcast, Dr. Shenelle DuBose discusses:

  • Ways you can identify unhealthy habits
  • What to do when you notice them
  • And how to detach from that behavior

"I really want us to think about the fact that the school pays you for a seven hour day, whatever your contractional hours are. Nothing is going to change until you decide I do not work for free. You are paid for this amount of time and this is the amount of time that you're available. We need to stop taking book bags home and checking papers on the weekend."

What do you do when it's time for a new season in your life? Do you even recognize that it's time for the season to change?

Perhaps it is when you are looking to take on a new innovative approach to your business, or maybe you're pondering a shift to a different sector within the educational landscape.

Or it may be a personal decision that requires a leap of faith. These leaps create integral stories in our lives, and they test us, and they are often very, very frightening. But ultimately, they contribute to shaping us into more resilient, adaptable, and courageous leaders, educators, business people. And CEOs, so we're going to talk about that in today's episode.

In this episode of the Educators Moving On Podcast, Dr. Shenelle DuBose discusses how to take leaps of faith and what happens when we don't.

"You have to be relentless in this thing. You need to be prepared for the potential failure. You're going to have setback, and you have the ability to bounce back. When we fall down, we get up. We don't just lie there and wait on somebody to come pick us up and dust us off. We get up, we dust ourselves off, and we do it again. "

Imposter Syndrome can harm your growth as a person and as an educator. It can set you back from building the life your dream of and deserve.

In this episode of the Educators Moving On Podcast Dr. Shenelle DuBose is joined with Amaris Miller to discuss Imposter Syndrome.

They will be discussing:

  • How imposter syndrome can show up in your life
  • How to identify and make changes
  • And how a change in mindset can shift everything

"So once you have the realization you can create; you need to start to unlearn all of those things that have been put on you, the negative things that people have placed on you, or the sort of box that people have put you in. Like you can only be a teacher, you can only be a whatever. You need to start to unlearn some of those things in order to move into your destiny, especially your place of abundance, because there's no way that you can really get there unless you pull back some of those layers ."

Accepting mediocrity in our lives can hold us back from reaching our full potential and achieving our dreams. Settling for average or ordinary results can create a comfort zone that prevents us from taking risks and growing as individuals. It is important to push beyond mediocrity and strive for excellence in all aspects of life, embracing challenges and continuous improvement.

In this episode of the Educators Moving On Podcast Dr. Shenelle DuBose is joined with Dr. Brandy Peer to discuss the mindset of mediocrity.

They will be discussing:

  • How you need to identify mediocrity in your life
  • How you have to be willing to move away from it.
  • How to show yourself grace
  • How to accept the past to move forward
  • How to set the new standard or mindset

"Accepting mediocrity or even just having the mindset of mediocrity hurts you in defining your value and your worth because if you're looking for acceptance from other people or need that external acceptance to feel validated, that means that my value and my worth are determined by your response to the thousand percent that I give to you. Rather than me saying, you know what, I'm enough! Everything I do is great! And that's fine. Even if I don't get that back in return, I know that I am valuable enough that I don't need the validation."

As educators, we work tirelessly to create fairness and equity in our classrooms and communities. However, it's crucial for us to acknowledge  that life itself isn't really fair. And we can't keep continuing to believe these ideals.

In this episode, Dr. Shenelle DuBose explores the concept of unfairness, and how we can navigate it with resiliency and adaptability.

If you're ready to challenge your expectations and embrace the reality of an imperfect world; join Dr. Shenelle as she delves into the complexities of fairness and uncover strategies to empower ourselves in the face of life's uncertainties.

"Life is complex and unpredictable and fairness is not guaranteed and it should not be expected. But when we hold on to this belief, we become disillusioned and frustrated when we encounter setbacks or any type of obstacles that we perceive as unfair. And this in turn, prevents us from adapting to challenges and taking the necessary risk to grow personally and professionally."

As educators, we've dedicated our lives to making a difference in supporting others. However, there comes a point where we must recognize the value of our expertise and ensure that we are compensated fairly for the incredible work that we do.

In this episode, we're going to explore:

  • the reasons behind the tendency to offer our services for free
  • the impact that it has on our profession
  • the steps we can take to shift this and start valuing ourselves and our contributions.

It's time to break free from the cycle of underestimating our worth and start building a sustainable future where our expertise is recognized and rewarded. So get ready to challenge the status quo and learn how to communicate your value effectively.

"There is power in numbers, and when more educators take a stand and stop thinking that they are being so noble, and stop working for free. Start valuing yourself, your work and the contribution that you make to society."

Imposter Syndrome is a complex issue that affects many people. It can manifest in various ways, such as feeling like a fraud, constantly comparing yourself to others, or downplaying your achievements.

For educators, Imposter Syndrome can be particularly damaging. Teachers who experience Imposter Syndrome may feel inadequate and struggle to connect with their students or feel confident in their ability to teach effectively. This can ultimately impact student outcomes and create a negative cycle that perpetuates feelings of self-doubt.

However, there are strategies that educators can use to overcome Imposter Syndrome. Educators can regain their confidence and reach their full potential by recognizing and challenging negative self-talk, setting realistic goals, and seeking support from colleagues and mentors.

In this episode, Dr. Shenelle DuBose will examine the roots of Imposter Syndrome and its impact on educators and explore strategies and share practical tips for educators who are struggling with Imposter Syndrome.

61: Educators moving to a regret proof life

Regret can come in many forms. The work opportunities you don’t take, the conversations you never had, or relationships you didn’t foster. It can be a crippling emotion, leaving you feeling helpless and desperate.

Yet it does not have to be this way. With strong self-awareness, careful planning and a commitment to taking action, you can move towards what I like to call a ‘regret proof life’—a life where you make decisions that will leave no room for regret.

In this episode of Educators Moving on Podcast, Dr. Shenelle DuBose highlights the ways regret can stifle our success and the ways to move forward.

Procrastination is a common challenge people face every day, often mistaken for laziness, fear, or shame. It can affect your dreams, steal your joy, and impede progress toward your goals, robbing you of significant opportunities.

In this episode of "Educators Moving On," Dr. Shenelle DuBose and Tanika Garrett delve into how procrastination can hinder the success of education consultants. By sharing tips on recognizing it, planning to overcome it, and striving toward consistent growth, they shed light on how to move toward success.

Do you tend to go from task to task led by excitement but rarely complete anything?

Black Excellence: a mindset backed by actions that display leadership through perseverance.

Recently, the terms #blackexcellence and #blackgirlmagic have emerged as rallying cries and motivational slogans for the black community. While they have been instrumental in achieving various milestones, they have also caused damage by influencing the world's perception of black people and their contribution to society.

Since the abolition of slavery, black people have encountered numerous challenges, worked hard, and achieved success. However, society has always required them to put in twice the effort and prove their worth to attain safety and deserve recognition. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, the finish line keeps moving, leaving them powerless and unable to enjoy their lives fully.

In this episode of Educators Moving On Podcast episode, Dr. Shenelle DuBose talks about how black excellence is a hoax comparable to slavery. She explains how this mindset hinders black people from living authentically and causes them to pursue an unattainable ideal.

“We have to see ourselves worthy first. We don't need people to pat us on our back and especially White America. We are worthy because we are, because we exist."

56: Educators moving on: Introvert or Extrovert

Would you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert? It is important to understand your personality type and how it might affect your success as an educator or education consultant.

Introverts tend to focus more on their internal thought process and prefer reflective activities such as reading, writing, or problem-solving. Extroverts are often seen as outgoing, talkative people who enjoy socializing and typically thrive in a large group. But is that true or a misconception?

In reality, both introverts and extroverts can be successful in an educational setting. It's important to identify which personality type you are so that you can tailor your teaching or consulting style accordingly.

In this episode of Educators Moving On Podcast, Dr. Shenell DuBose breaks down the differences and similarities between Introverts and Extroverts and how you can use your unique superpowers to thrive.

“I think what matters is you know yourself, how you perform best, and know what situations are good for you and which situations are now.

55: Educators moving on from fear and limiting beliefs

How do you know if you're letting fear rule your life? Are there signs that you must step back, re-evaluate, and move on from negative beliefs?

Fear often manifests in different ways, such as staying in the same comfort zone, avoiding change, procrastination, perfectionism, and self-doubt. It can also lead to ruminating thoughts, interfering with your ability to focus and make decisions. To break free from these limiting beliefs, it's important to recognize when fear is taking over and work on ways to move beyond them.

In this episode of Educators Moving On Podcast, Dr. Shenelle DuBose Identifies what triggers your fear, can help you better understand it, and start developing strategies to reduce your anxiety. Developing a positive mindset is also crucial in helping you overcome those feelings of fear.

"Initially may not see it, but eventually, you will. You cannot continually be in a situation where you're always second guessing yourself or looking to others to invalidate you and not impact your self-esteem."

54: Educators Moving into Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is all over the news and internet but what is and why should we care?

Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science that focuses on creating machines that are capable of "thinking" and learning. AI is used in many different applications to make work more efficient, increase accuracy, decrease risk, and provide better user experiences.

AI is beginning to revolutionize the education sector as well.

AI can help

  • identify individual student needs by analyzing their performance and providing personalized instruction.
  • provide insights into the most effective instructional strategies and measure student engagement and progress.
  • create a more equitable learning environment by customizing educational experiences to each student's needs. By having access to personalized instruction, students of all backgrounds will have a greater chance of success.
  • systems provide personalized instruction and feedback in real-time, helping students learn more effectively.

AI shouldn’t replace humans but be used as a tool to guide and support teachers in the classroom. AI can provide personalized instruction, but it can’t replace teachers' human connection with their students. AI should enhance learning experiences and create an environment that supports student success.

“This technology does not have to be seen as a threat, as the downfall of education, or take the teachers' job. If we see it as a tool, then you will be able to see how these advances can support education, and you’re everyday life.” Ep. 54Dr. Shenelle DuBose

It's important to recognize the signs of a toxic workplace and take action to protect your mental and physical health.

  • How to identify red flags
  • When it’s time to move on
  • How to prioritize yourself
  • How to release the fear of the unknown

“At the end of the day, you’re replaceable at any job. So, to stay somewhere you’re unhappy is not worth it because they can replace you tomorrow.”

We don’t often talk about toxic school environments. We want to be positive and a team player supporting our schools but sometimes, we need to address the tough issues. Moving on from a toxic school system comes with a lot of emotions and challenges but also a sense of liberation.

The first step to overcoming the challenge of a toxic school system is to understand what defines it. Signs of toxicity can range from psychological bullying and intimidation, lack of respect or support from staff and students, the stigma surrounding certain individuals or groups within the school, and lack of resources. This episode highlights:

  • Identifying the signs
  • Assessing your home life
  • Creating a plan

“ I will tell you it is so important for you to take care of yourself. When we're in these toxic situations, we're so busy trying to ensure that we've crossed every T and dotted every I that we use the extra time we shouldn't be using. Trying to ensure we've done it all so the micromanager can leave us alone and the negativity can stop, but you cannot. You need to make time for your self-care. You need to make sure that you are able to get time in the exercise to meditate, to enjoy a hobby. To get a massage or facial, hang out with friends and take a long hot bath. This is what is going to help you to manage the stress and maintain your mental stability and your emotional wellbeing. You have to be loyal to you.”

As women and educators, it’s easy to put others before ourselves. We focus on the kids, the students, partners, or peers and forget to ask for help or take time for self-care. Sometimes we are so deep in the cycle that we don’t even recognize when we are burnt out.

In this episode on the Educators Moving on Podcast, Dr. Shenelle DuBose and Jamilah Bashir emphasize the importance of investing in yourself and engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment.

  • How can yourself make time for yourself?
  • What brings your joy, and how can you implement it into your life?
  • How can you create boundaries to protect your peace?

“I don’t have to be Superwoman, and I’m not going to try to be Superwoman. Being Superwoman breaks me down. You get sick of being Superwoman. You get broken down being Superwoman. You look up and don’t know how you became Superwoman. It’s too much for one person.”

Do you feel like your feelings don't matter regarding teaching?

Have you been taught to put your emotions aside for the betterment of your students and coworkers?

Maybe you haven't recognized the signs because you're steadily moving and going through the motions.

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr. Shenelle DuBose speaks with guest Selena Stone on the long-term effect of teaching trauma and how putting your emotions aside can affect all areas of your life.

  • How separating you from your emotions can impact friendships and relationships.

  • How stepping up for your students only can take a toll on your mental health.

  • How dealing with trauma consistently can make you cold to current issues.

“It was the feeling that something was off. And there was a constant restlessness
 I was having panic attacks and was physically sick
 I have to step back and learn how to navigate and undo what I have been trained to do."

  • limiting self-belief

“We think that there is a limit on how abundant we can be, and we also think that there's a limit to how much love we think we can have as in love, L O V E. So when we have these preconceived notions and these deep embedded belief systems, and it's really a limited mindset, we are limiting ourselves.”

Have you ever heard of Superwoman Syndrome?

If you haven't, I'm sure you've felt it. Being a wife, a mom, an aunt, a sister, a leader of the PTA, a skilled educator managing classrooms, organizing playdates, birthday parties, and all the things in between, without spending time on you.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Melanie Battles from Scholars for the Soul: An Educational Solutions Firm, where we discuss superwoman syndrome and how to remove the stigma so you can focus on yourself.

How you can:

  • take the cape off to focus on your own identity
  • how not to feel resentful to those finding it easier to rest and reset
  • How to be consistent in your commitment to your growth and rest.

"Where are you trying to go and what does it take for you to get there? Setting that routine, setting your timers, if it's getting up before all your kids in the house. That was something big for me. I wanted to get up before everybody else started getting up, moving around, asking me for this, wanting to do that. I need to get up early so I can have time just for me. And when I did that, I was more patient with my children. When I did that, I had more patience for my husband because my cup was being filled. Not thinking that I just have to wake up and as soon as my feet hit the ground, I'm superwoman. No. Taking the cape off means I know I need to be filled, so let me schedule time within my day to fill my cup. Because I can't pour into my family, I can't pour into my students. I can't pour into my community if I don't have anything to pour."

What traditions have you had to let go of as you have ventured into adulthood? Why do cultures and people and families choose to let go of traditions? After all? Traditions bring a sense of security. They bring cohesion, unity, and quite frankly, memories of the past. But what happens? When a tradition has run its course and is it no longer works or our lives change, when we get older, we gain greater access to information and the tradition no longer serves us like:

  • Putting up the Christmas tree around your hectic schedule - not when traditions dictated
  • Wearing white after labor day
  • Black eye peas on New Years Ever and a few more

and many more. Learn what traditions you can leave behind to gain peace and stability for your own life.

“Some of us are so scared to break a rule. We're so afraid to live life out loud, that we put ourselves in these boxes and we become these fragile beings. I just want you to know you can break a rule every now and then. It's okay. And if you plan to do something great in 2023, you're gonna have to break a few rules.”

We all have habits that we need to unlearn and make space for new practices that will help us to become better individuals.

What am I talking about?

Things we need to leave behind as we exit 2022 and head into 2023 like:

  • Saying yes when you mean no
  • Negative self talk
  • Overthinking
  • Control issues
  • Worrying
  • Fear of Success
  • Spending too much time alone

“It is time to leave the control issues in 2022. Let's work on eliminating it. Just let it go. Just surrender. You do not have control over everything. You can go to work, you can prepare your lesson, you can present the lesson, but there's no control over which kids are going to get the lesson, whether or not they're going to enjoy it, whether or not it's going to yield the results that you're looking for. Let’s leave control issues in 2022.

Do you ever feel like you have to have it all together? Do you feel like you have to have all the answers?

As teachers, we are the ones who educate society, and so we have to have our lives together in order to help other people, right? But it's just not true. We as educators are human beings.

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr. Shenelle DuBose speaks with guestShiree McGee about prioritizing moving on from insecurity into the world of confidence highlighting:

  • Feeling comfortable with our realities and naming our insecurities head on
  • How therapy can help you identify your true feelings
  • The importance of having a village to support and hold you accountable.

“You gotta do a whole period of shift. When you wanna go higher, when you wanna pull out an insecurity, you must become aggressive and you have to do things that you have not done before because in insecurity, it's gonna cap you. You want the sky and beyond to be your limits. So in order to do that, you gotta do that. Speak those positive words and be saying it out loud is allowing you to hear it. So it's going out and it's coming back in, and it's going out, and it's coming back in, and it's changing the way that you think”

Do you feel wiped out from work? Do you have zero energy for anything else in your life once you get home? Have you normalised feeling exhausted?

In order to give, and continue giving - and for some of us, that means an entire career in education - we have to take excellent care of ourselves. When we don’t, our wellbeing, our health, our families, and eventually also our work will suffer.

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with guest Jessica Guarnieri about prioritising our students and our work above ourselves and our wellbeing and how to shift that habituated internal operating mode, highlighting in particular:

  • We’re never told anything about taking care of ourselves; it doesn’t factor into the discussion at any point in our training, so for many of us it takes burnout before we begin thinking about that as a concept
  • How particularly in special ed contexts educators often feel like they are not protected even from physical harm
  • How buying into the line, “Do all you can for the children” can end up being harmful
  • How teaching is a calling, but it’s also your job and the wider impact of getting rest
  • Practical ways to shift the balance so that you become your own primary object of care

“Set your boundaries early. How much can you give, and how much are you willing to give? When I was a new teacher, I really strived to have the work done. I didn’t understand what it meant that the work is never done. Set those boundaries, because it’s not only right for you and your family, it’s right for the parents and the students too.”

Are you currently in your zone of competence, your zone of excellence, or your zone of genius?

If you generally feel a bit bored or frustrated or just not lit up about your work, you’re probably not in your zone of genius. You might be really good at your job, but if it doesn’t bring you joy, you’re in your zone of competence or excellence.

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with guest Sharon Davis about honouring your greatness, moving away from excellence and towards genius, and why it starts with prioritising ourselves, highlighting:

  • How many of us educators are proficient and competent at many things that don’t necessarily make us happy, and that proficiency does not constitute a good enough reason to keep doing those things
  • Our zone of genius is when we’re really good at something without putting that much effort in, that always lights us up and brings us inspiration and energy, and we all have one
  • Why staying in our zone of excellence often keeps us from exploring and embracing our zone of genius and how the “shoulds” keep us stuck
  • The relationship between prioritising ourselves and operating in our zone of genius and how to use the “Absolute yes / Top 5” list to help shift your life
  • Questions for reflection to help us understand what we most deeply want for ourselves and who we want to be

“We’re given these gifts and talents and then we settle for the thing that is less than just because we’re good at it, not knowing that if we stop doing that thing and start doing the thing that is innate, that is natural, our lives will be so much fuller and richer. But it’s a really big gap between the zone of excellence and the zone of genius and what’s in that gap is being brave enough to step away from excellence to get to genius.”

Do you feel stuck in your financial reality? Do you dream of having more wealth, more ease, and more opportunities?

It can be really hard to go beyond the financial precedents set by our families, but it’s possible for all of us. Mindset shifts, fostering faith and building new money habits can help you create the changes you need.

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with guest Comilla Mays about transforming our financial realities, what a business mindset looks like and how to start building wealth generation today, highlighting:

  • How coming from a poor or middle-class background limit what we think is possible for ourselves and breaking the wealth patterns of our family can be a big challenge
  • Wearing struggle as a badge of honour and leveraging the desire for more to pursue opportunities and surround ourselves with the people and information that move us towards our dreams
  • The impact of childhood church sermons on our mindset around poverty and suffering and choosing to change our beliefs
  • Knowledge is light, “leaders are readers” - why investing in yourself is the most important move you can make
  • Tips for changing your money management, including the 5 accounts you need to have

“That whole wealthy mindset, that comes from educating yourself. “My people perish for the lack of knowledge” - it’s what we don’t know that’s killing us. Knowledge equals light, darkness is ignorance. And all things are possible to them that believe.”

Do you struggle with chronic pain?

About a third of Americans deal with chronic pain and it can be a hugely debilitating problem. In addition, there are often no external signs of it, so people don’t realise that we’re suffering. In a culture that emphasises pushing through discomfort, many people who experience chronic pain end up struggling to express and honour their needs.

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with guest Dr Sabrina Crouch about dealing with chronic pain as an educator in the school system and the critical importance of prioritising taking care of ourselves first, highlighting in particular:

  • How to manage chronic pain when you’re working in a context of relentless giving
  • The benefits of holistic healing modalities and including the emotions as potential causes of physical stress when working with chronic pain
  • How the diagnosis of a chronic condition can become our identity and the path to relativising the role of physical illness in our lives
  • Tips and strategies for dealing with chronic pain and the importance of radical self-care
  • The impact of traumatic experiences on our adult physiognomy and ways of approaching those memories to move towards healing

“He asked the most challenging and thought-provoking question. He simply asked me, What are you holding on to that you need to let go of? He was like, When you figure that out, that’s when you’ll start to feel relief.”

Do you feel like you’re still playing out unhelpful habits with money?

Maybe you know better, but you keep doing the same thing, or you don’t fully understand what’s happening with your money and why you’re not reaching your financial goals. Money habits can go deep and shifting them can require deep inner reflection and powerful external changes.

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with guest Wendy Petties about fostering financial health and prosperity through honesty, clarity and pleasure, and the habits that support the path to becoming a millionaire, highlighting:

  • The importance of understanding how we jeopardise our financial health and where those patterns come from within us
  • How unhelpful spending patterns come from a need to fill a space in us that can be reoriented towards being filled with pleasure
  • How to get support to speak the truth about your financial habits and gain clarity
  • How to navigate the guilt of financial success and the main ways people handle it
  • What being a millionaire actually means and understanding your net worth

“We’ve got to get comfortable with our value and our worth and how we interact with other people around that.”

Are you ready to make some big changes in your life?

Creating major changes in our lives, choosing to prioritise different parts of ourselves, and making new and often courageous decisions about our careers is a kind of reinvention. It can seem scary to embrace newness on multiple fronts but making external changes in our appearance often helps change how we show up in the world and how the world responds to us.

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks about how leaving the classroom necessitates a personal reinvention, how to embrace change and what is needed in when we step forward to create a different life for ourselves, highlighting:

  • How our identity can be deeply intertwined with our careers and the trends that educators tend to follow
  • Why it’s important to have changes in our life be reflected in external changes
  • Our relationship to change and how to embark on a process of profound inner change
  • How the people around us impact who we are becoming as well as the size and success of our dreams
  • What reinvention really means, how it relates to our core values and the mindset shifts necessary to become the best version of yourself

“When you make a change, you do something different, things should be different - YOU should be different! You should feel different, and you should look different. And not only that, but the people in your life should also be able to see the difference, feel the difference, and it should be evident that you are a new person, you are different, you have changed - you are not the same.”

How do the clothes you wear make you feel? Do they give you a boost of confidence when you look in the mirror, or do they do the opposite?

What we wear impacts how we see ourselves and how others see us; we send a message with how we look, and we get to determine what people see. Personal style changes throughout our lives and maybe it’s time for an update!

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with Erica Crawley about why we lose our personal style, how to align your look with your goals and how to dress for your body shape, highlighting in particular:

  • The impact of becoming a mom or a long-time educator on our personal style and the possibility of reinvention
  • The importance of mindset, belief in yourself and caring about your appearance
  • Being aware that personal style has an effect on our self-esteem and consequently how much confidence we show up in the world with
  • Some simple tips to upgrade your style and express your personality through your clothing choices
  • How to identify your body shape and how to style for your specific shape

“Envision how you want to look; how can you align your looks with your goals? You want to go from the classroom to the consultant room. How are you going to look when you’re doing that? You’re not wearing the same thing.”

Do you have ways of taking care of yourself when you’re having a difficult time emotionally? Do you have people at work you can speak to when you’re struggling?

Mental health is an issue that will affect everyone at some point; we all have things we need healing from. For some people, the working environment is not particularly conducive to good mental health, and it’s important to try to manage that in the best way possible.

In episode 30 of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with Roxanne Marion about educators creating safe mental health spaces at work, finding the little things that help to calm us down and relax our minds, and ensuring that we’re including things that bring us joy in our spare time, highlighting:

  • Simple strategies to improve our mental health in everyday life
  • Recognising what triggers you, what you need to avoid and what is your safe haven
  • How having a person at work that you can speak to about your emotions and mental health can be a grounding anchor
  • The importance of being proactive about setting ourselves up for good mental health
  • How prioritising fun and creating a freedom list will upgrade your quality of life and foster greater emotional resilience

“You have to be proactive about these things. We can’t act like we never go through depression; we never get anxious, we never get stressed - we all feel those ways at times. Set yourself up for success; have the person that you talk to and that you trust and those things that you can turn to immediately.”

Do you feel like you’re always “on”? Is taking care of yourself and your need for rest and replenishment always the last thing on your to-do list?

It’s so easy to think we don’t have time to take care of ourselves, but the truth is that when our inner resilience shrinks, the quality of our lives and our relationships diminish in conjunction with those decreasing energetic and emotional resources.

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose talks about prioritising self-care, how our self-care needs as educators have evolved over time and the various things, we need to consider in order to choose self-care practices that are really effective, highlighting:

  • Questioning what self-care is and what taking time to recharge looks like today
  • How educators nowadays are not only teaching but also trying to be emotionally supportive of students and in communication with parents, all of which can be draining
  • What you need to consider to ensure your mental health remains resilient with the awareness that the pandemic had a massive impact on us all
  • Different types of self-care that will actually replenish you (and the things that won’t)
  • The need to be proactive in making lifestyle choices, setting boundaries, and prioritising your wellbeing

“The bottom line is, you must be the #1 priority and treat yourself like you are the priority. Self-care is a priority. You are the CEO of your life and the life you’re living - YOU designed it, you created it! So, if you find that you are feeling stressed out, burned out, overwhelmed, or tired, I would ask, have you prioritised YOU?”

Are you one of the “strong ones”?

The one who is always there for everyone else to lean on? Maybe you feel like sharing your troubles is “burdening” other people?

Women tend to fall into the toxic positivity trap much more than men and prioritise other people’s wellbeing over their own. It’s time to change the narrative around facing challenging times as women and learn how to invite support.

In episode 28 of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose and guest Danyelle Bridges discuss how toxic positivity undermines our power, limits our expansion and impacts all areas of our lives in an unhelpful manner, highlighting in particular:

  • The ways in which we undermine our own experience by trying to turn everything into a positive
  • Why we try to protect people from our pain and how we can start to change the habit of prioritising other people’s wellbeing over our own
  • How forgiving and forgetting are not the same thing and finding our power through surrendering to challenging circumstances rather than putting on a brave face
  • The repercussions of negating our difficult emotions and the knock-on effects that impact our work, relationships, and health
  • The importance of our messaging around respecting emotions and mental health for young people and creating change in the education system

“We were just taught to be the strong one, especially with Black women - we have that superhero syndrome. We are taught how to just sit in and figure it out all on our own, but we don’t have to; there is support. And just having to think positive all the time, that’s not dealing with the reality of it. Until you get a safe space, you will never be able to really connect with your true authentic self and who God really called you and made you to be.”

Do you find yourself denying or avoiding difficult emotions?

Do you often try to frame your experience in positive terms, perhaps at the expense of truly acknowledging how hard it might be?

The trend of toxic positivity has many of us trying to always put on a brave face and, in the process, built a habit of denying and invalidating our own emotional responses - all of which are valid and a normal part of life.

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose explains what toxic positivity can look like in the realm of education and how we can start to catch it when we’re doing it to ourselves, highlighting in particular:

  • Why we tend to try to make others feel comfortable by saying that we’re fine even when things are hard, and we might be struggling
  • The ways that other people downplay or invalidate our emotional responses to challenging circumstances if we don’t maintain relentless positivity
  • The “everything happens for a reason” response and the consequences of negating grief
  • Holding both the awareness of the lesson and the blessing that comes with challenge
  • How to identify if you have habits of denying or avoiding difficult emotions and how to shift into a place of validating them and taking care of yourself

“Toxic positivity is very dangerous, and it’s very harmful because it teaches you to avoid your true emotions and to also avoid emotional situations because you begin to discount or deny and dismiss difficult or unpleasant emotions. It also prevents you from growing from the challenge; when we have these instances that really take an emotional toll on us, there’s a lesson that we are meant to learn but there’s also a blessing that you are meant to receive on the other side of it. For every challenge, there is a lesson and a blessing.”

Do you feel a sense of guilt around the successes in your life?

Is it hard for you to relax into enjoying the good things you have created and worked hard for? There are many reasons people feel guilty about their success and achievements and that guilt can not only stop you from fully enjoying your life but also keep you from further levelling up.

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose pulls back the layers of success and asks us to dig deep and question whether we might be holding some success guilt, the psychological root of it and how to begin to free ourselves from it, highlighting:

  • The reasons we may feel guilt around the things in our lives that we have achieved and the cultural reinforcements of it that may exist in your environment
  • The issue with loyalty; examining our loyalty to the struggle and the success guilt exacerbates
  • Unhealthy behaviours and mindsets generated by success, guilt and the catch-22 they can lead to with our extended families and communities
  • Developing psychological resilience regarding your achievements and other people’s attitudes towards them
  • How to start releasing the success guilt and become unapologetic about your dreams and achievements

“In the Black community, those who thrive sometimes feel a sense of guilt because they couldn’t take others with them. But here’s the difference. As a survivor, you believe that you received favour, or that you were spared while others suffered by some other force. But as thrivers, we know we did the work. We fought that good fight, we sacrificed, we did the things that others were not willing to do, we missed the parties, and we didn’t partake in a lot of the activities that would have been fun at the time, because we had a goal. But the guilt still remains. Why? It’s this thing called loyalty.”

Do you have a big dream? One that’s so big it scares you?

Maybe it feels so big that you don’t know where to start and you’re scared you’ll never make it happen.

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose explores what it takes to create our dream lives and what full commitment really looks like.

Dr DuBose unpacks the many reasons why most people don’t create their dream lives, the mindset patterns that get in the way and how we need to position ourselves in our lives if we really want to make our big dreams happen, highlighting in particular:

  • The difference between a goal and a dream and what a dream requires of us
  • What full commitment means and what happens when we go all in, in comparison with what we generally do by going halfway
  • Ways in which we sabotage our dreams by avoiding obstacles, staying in our comfort zones and avoiding risk
  • The hard decisions that are required if we are going to live our dream life, the ones that may not be easy but will definitely be worth it
  • The exact steps you need to take in order to manifest your big dreams

“Are you allowing obstacles to stop you? Half commitment. When the obstacle comes, expect it and be willing to do whatever it takes to get around that obstacle. Being afraid to take risks; half commitment means that I will do it as long as it doesn’t cost me anything and as long as I don’t have to risk anything. That’s not a full commitment. A full commitment means that I’m willing to take the risk, and we know that with low risk comes low reward and with high risk comes high reward. So how big is your dream? Is it worth it?”

Do you find yourself networking to the point of exhaustion, and yet not getting the results you are after?

When you think of walking into a room full of people who are 'ahead' of you in your journey, how do you feel?

In this episode of Educators Moving On Dr. Shenelle DuBose speaks with Arlena Jackson about intentional networking as the key to making your millions.

Dr. DuBose and Arlena Jackson share their top tips on how to network your way to high net worth, challenging you to ask what are you willing to give to get, explaining heart-based vs head-based networking and much more, including:

  • Finding purpose through encountering our pain and letting our security blankets go
  • The 3 steps to intentional networking to create your millions
  • The mindset shift of “If it’s free, it’s not for me” and how it will change your choices
  • Why all information isn't created equal and how to choose what information to invest in
  • You’re either going to serve your way, earn your way or pay your way - know what the difference is and what is required at each level when networking
  • How to leverage first impressions to make the millions that are your birthright

“I did some reevaluation and it caused me to really start to move with a sense of urgency, to move into purpose, because had I got the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer stage 4, 3-6 months to live, I would have been petrified because unlike my Mother who died empty, I was still full. And the goal is not to return back to heaven with your gifts, but it’s to leave this world empty, meaning you have poured out all of your gifts.”

Do you feel constantly exhausted?

In this episode of Educators Moving On Dr. Shenelle DuBose dives deep into the symptoms of burnout and the deeper psychological causes behind the behaviors that create it.

Dr. DuBose speaks to how we as educators and leaders tend to be juggling multiple roles simultaneously, wearing exhaustion as a badge of honor, doing everything for everyone at the cost of our own wellbeing and what we can do to change these patterns, highlighting:

  • How to recognise the signs that tell you you’re burned out
  • 3 strategies to combat the symptoms of exhaustion that you can implement today
  • The psychological bottom line that underlies burnout and how to begin creating boundaries that support a lifestyle that doesn’t lead to exhaustion
  • Learning to make ourselves our number one priority and what changes that implies in our work, relationships and priorities
  • How to make the changes that create renewal, bring meaning and purpose and joy to our lives and combat the cycle of exhaustion

“Why do you think that you have to show up for everyone else, for everything else, even when you’re tired, even when you’re exhausted, even when you don’t have the time, even when you don’t have the energy, but you just keep going and going and going? You’ve got to ask yourself why do you feel the need to be present and to be all things to all people, because obviously it is self-serving, so what part of you is it serving?”

Do you feel like you’re playing small?

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with Dr Yuri Tuppince about her journey with entrepreneurship and learning to play big.

Dr DuBose and Dr Tuppince address some of the common conditioning that keeps us playing small, especially as women of colour and how to move beyond that to build the life we want, highlighting in particular:

  • Breaking the paradigm of “what a teacher is” and finding the courage to pivot
  • The childhood conditioning behind playing small, especially for a female person of colour
  • How working with a coach will help you free yourself from limiting beliefs and behaviours that keep you stuck and playing small
  • Leveraging our skillset to make the income we want and leaving behind the quiet nice girl persona
  • Mindset shifts to help move from playing small to showing up as an empowered person

“You have what you need to live the life that you want - you are holding yourself back. You don’t know that because you have not taken yourself on this journey of self-discovery to find out. What is the thing that’s holding me back that I’m using to stop me from realising my potential and how can I get over it?”

Do you ever feel disheartened by the education system?

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with Dr Brante Dashiell about her experience teaching internationally and how it made her see the US educational system with new eyes when she got home.

Dr DuBose and Dr Dashiell discuss differences in US education as compared with some other countries, the challenges facing many students in the US, and how we can respond to the situation as educators with big dreams, highlighting:

  • Educational challenges in other cultures and what we can learn from how things are done in other countries
  • How the educational system in some areas of the US is setting our kids up for failure
  • Leveraging our faith to steer our careers
  • The importance of prioritising self-care to be able to fulfil our mission
  • Betting on ourselves despite the fear and taking the leap

“I’m on a mission to change how we educate students and make sure that we’re intentional in everything that we do and say because that trickles down to the children who are going to run our country 20 years from now. And if we don’t change it, we’re in a world of trouble.”

Do you have rigid standards for yourself in some areas of your life?

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks about perfectionism, how it can show up and impact our lives, and how to identify it and begin dismantling it.

Perfectionism can manifest in many ways and in this episode, Dr DuBose examines exactly how it works, how it interferes with being a high achiever and how to address it, highlighting in particular:

  • That there are levels of perfectionism and areas of our life where it shows up and others where it doesn’t
  • Common characteristics of perfectionism to help you identify if they apply to you
  • The difference between being a perfectionist and being a high achiever
  • The connection between perfectionism and low self-esteem
  • Learning to surrender, choose the simplest path and celebrate the process and not just the win

“When you focus only on the results, you see the goal and nothing else. You don’t see the people, you don’t see the growth, you don’t see the process, you don’t see how you’ve grown from one place to another, and you don’t get to enjoy any of the learning, of the growing, of the striving. And so, when you only focus on the result, you only celebrate if you get the result. So, seeing the goal and nothing else is not a great way to live your life and to measure your life by.”

Do you stay in work situations where you’re not feeling valued anymore?

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with Anthony Herbert about knowing when it’s time to move on and how to take that leap.

Dr DuBose and guest Anthony Herbert explore how to know when your current work situation is no longer serving you, embracing change, and what to pay attention to when creating work and lifestyles that help us thrive, highlighting in particular:

  • Creating the mindset of embracing change despite the fear and knowing when we need to leave a situation
  • Knowing ourselves well enough to create a job and lifestyle that helps us thrive and putting ourselves first
  • Collapsing timeframes in growing our businesses by learning from other people who’ve already acquired the lessons
  • An organization needs to be the right fit for you and the right fit for the season of life that you are currently in
  • Getting first contracts can come about more easily through people in your network

“I firmly believe that if you can’t be part of the solution, then I refuse to be part of the problem. So, whenever I get to a point in a situation where I feel like I can no longer contribute value, or the value that I am contributing is no longer being recognized, I seek the next season, the next opportunity where I can actually effect change.”

Do you feel like you’re receiving back the value of what you give at work?

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose explores how we can ensure that we’re in mutually beneficial relationships with our work.

The education system has changed a lot since many of us trained to be educators and for some of us, it might not be giving us what we want anymore. Dr Shenelle DuBose examines the factors at play in assessing whether or not we’re in a happy, healthy relationship with our work, highlighting in particular:

  • How the role of education has changed and our jobs in the education system have also shifted
  • The shift from lecture-based learning to performance-based learning and the impact on our work
  • What a mutually beneficial relationship is and what to pay attention to when you’re networking
  • 5 steps to evaluate the level of mutual benefit in the relationship you have with your work
  • Evaluating whether or not the education system is capable of giving you what you desire in terms of income and lifestyle

“I want you to think about your current situation; is everyone benefitting? One of the reasons why people will get to a point where they feel they’re not in a mutually beneficial relationship is almost that idea of, “I’m loving you but you’re not loving me back”.”

Do you feel like you have connections to people who can help your career advance?

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose talks about the difference having a targeted, proactive approach to networking can make in moving towards your dreams.

Dr DuBose draws on her own extensive experience to explain why social capital is so important, how you can build the network you need and how to use it to your advantage, outlining in particular:

  • The four key reasons why having a network is so important
  • Why having social capital is valuable and how it can help us advance our careers faster than any degree ever will
  • How the people we spend time around influence how we see the world and what we believe to be possible, so we should choose them with care
  • Whatever your dream is, you need to be spending time in communities where that is the priority so you can learn and uplevel your mindset faster
  • How to network in person and online like a pro

“You need to build your network because they can share with you information and opportunities and valuable resources that you didn’t even know were available to you. So, I want to share with you - it’s true: your network really does determine your net worth.”

Do you dream of having more money in order to fulfil your dreams?

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose talks about how to move on from underearning for high achievers and what is required in order to do that.

Dr DuBose explains why the common approaches to addressing the problem of underearning don’t work and explores how to address the underlying causes of underearning and the difficulties people face on the journey to make that shift. She outlines in particular:

  • Schooling is not the answer; more certifications will not help you earn more
  • The underlying reason for underearning lies within, not outside of us
  • Abundance is your birthright and getting to that frequency requires doing the inner work
  • We have to become aware of our unconscious beliefs and get clear on whether they are serving or sabotaging us
  • Money is a tool; earning money needs to serve your dreams

“The problem is within us. It is inside of us. It is the inner work that’s going to help you to create wealth, not the outer work. You’ve been doing, doing, doing; you have all the degrees and certifications, you have the accolades, so why are you not living the life of your dreams? Because it’s the inner work, that’s got to be done.”

Do you typically struggle to earn enough to live comfortably?

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose explores why so many educators find themselves living paycheck to paycheck and addresses the underlying reasons.

Dr Shenelle DuBose unveils why high achievers have habitually become underearners, how to discover whether you are one yourself, and if so, how to start changing that, highlighting in particular:

  • The model of “how to do life” has not equipped us for more modular careers, or career shifts, which, in a culture of fast-paced change, is becoming more normal than staying in one job your whole career
  • Under-earning is not the same as minimalism. If you’re underearning you’re not choosing to live simply - you’re having to make hard decisions about what to spend your money on
  • Eight traits that you can use to identify whether or not you are an underearner
  • Identifying your beliefs about high earners and affluence and other ways we sabotage our earning potential
  • Getting clear on what you really want, explore your fears and understand why you are where you’re at in your earning journey

“This episode is for the high achievers who have done all the things, who have followed the rules and were expecting to be in a different place and couldn’t quite understand why it is that they have not arrived at that destination. It’s because we have subscribed to underearning.”

Do you feel you never have enough time to do all the things you want and need to get done?

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with guest Tanjarae Porter, Senior Consultant of Cultivated Connections Design and Consulting, about reclaiming our time and our lifestyle.

Dr DuBose and Tanjarae Porter discuss the overwhelm that educators, as natural givers, often experience, and how learning to plan and schedule with the help of some simple apps can revolutionise your life, outlining in particular:

  • How planning and systems can change your life (for the better!)
  • Why being more strategic with your time leaves you more time to do things you enjoy
  • How to use Trello or Google Drive to revolutionise your planning
  • The importance of boundaries in creating a lifestyle that truly serves us
  • Some simple hacks to help you stick to your new structure and boundaries

“It all goes back to boundaries; what is your non-negotiable, what is your boundary? I’m not talking to parents after 5:30. Even something like that, not working past a certain time - just setting those boundaries wherever you need to set them, especially when you’re trying to think about work/life balance.”

Does holding firm on your pricing make you uncomfortable?

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with guest Jamilah Bashir about advocating for our businesses and standing firm on our pricing.

Jamilah Bashir is a special education teacher of 16 years turned educational consultant who just negotiated her first independent consulting contract.

Dr Shenelle DuBose and Jamilah Bashir explore ways of dealing with clients that try to pay less than what we ask for, how to encounter that with clear, professional, and firm communication and highlighting in particular:

  • Don’t just offer one service, always create multiple packages that are customisable
  • You have to advocate for your business and respect your pricing - stick to your price even when facing resistance
  • Respecting your pricing is respecting our business and the quality of your work
  • The wording of your contract is very important; clauses and disclaimers need to be crystal clear
  • Fostering confidence in communicating our professional boundaries gets easier with practice

“The price is the price. You have to advocate for your business, and you have to make people respect your business because some people could look at it as, “Well it’s a small business”, but it’s a business, it’s MY business. I have put my blood, sweat and tears into this business, so you’re going to respect my business and what my price is and all that I bring.”

Are you being treated the way you want to be treated at work?

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with guest Dr Juanita Ashby-Bey. about learning to have healthy boundaries in our professional lives.

Dr DuBose and Dr Juanita Ashby-Bey. discuss the power of recognising abusive relationships, learning to foster strong boundaries and the mindset shifts that are foundational in this process, highlighting in particular:

  • The messaging that we got early on is often still impacting us - there may be things we’re still trying to prove to the primary educators in our early lives
  • Recognising abuse can be a slow process and it needs to be followed up by understanding what type of communication we are and are not willing to accept
  • If we don’t acknowledge what has not been working for us and change something, we will keep getting the same results
  • Fostering better boundaries means learning to communicate differently and upholding those boundaries consistently
  • Thinking you have to “work hard” is a poor man’s mindset - it’s possible to create your life from a different place

“For those of us who are high achieving - we typically have a hard time enforcing boundaries because we know we’re different. We know other people know we’re different, but we still try to fit in and it’s the trying to fit in that creates this issue where people cross our boundaries.”

Can security and freedom coexist?

In this episode of Educators Moving On, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with guest Dana Gastich about her story from employee to consultant and discovering a new kind of freedom and security.

In this conversation, Dr Shenelle DuBose and Dana Gastich explore what it means to be free, how we create cages for ourselves, encountering our fears around security and how to go from feeling stuck to taking action, pointing out in particular:

  • If you want a new lifestyle, you need to associate with people who have that lifestyle
  • It’s normal to have moments of feeling like maybe the lack of freedom is worth it for the security payoff, this is why the mindset work is crucial
  • Freedom begets more freedom and when you jump the net will appear
  • There are three types of freedom: personal, professional freedom and lifestyle freedom
  • Life is a big experiment so paint with the brightest colours you’ve got

“We pretty much all start in the same place: we had a dream, we fulfilled the dream - we set out to accomplish these goals and we did that - and then we wanted more, we wanted different, and it was major scary.”

Do you feel like you’re working really hard in your business but it’s not growing?

In this episode of Educators Moving on, Dr Shenelle DuBose shares a 30-minute strategy session focussing on shifting from the 1:1 solopreneur model to an exponential business strategy.

Dr Shenelle DuBose delivers high octane strategy advice in this episode, exploring alternative business opportunities for solopreneurs and explaining how to make them work, the financial implications of making those strategic changes, the mindset shift involved and highlighting:

  • The importance of knowing your ideal customers and clearly outlining your zone of genius for them
  • Options for up-levelling your business strategy as a solopreneur and opening up to exponential growth
  • Strategies for keeping clients in the pipeline and leveraging social media
  • Shifting from 1:1 mentoring to group programs and adjusting our mindsets around how many clients we think we need
  • How to create a multi-tiered business model and passive income opportunities

“How do I move from a solopreneur, where if I don’t work, I don’t eat, to a more stable form, and then once you get that set, you’ve got to think about your passive income opportunities. You are the business and so we can’t keep approaching things as a person, you’ve got to approach it from a business perspective. You’re going to learn some new things along the way, tweak and move as you go, cause that’s what we do as educators.”

Are you dreaming of leaving the school system but unsure of how to do so?

In today’s episode, Dr Shenelle DuBose and special guest Tamara Irving open up about their journeys from being educators in the system to consultants.

Dr Shenelle DuBose and Tamara Irving openly share their fears around leaving the education system, the financial and familial impacts of the shift to being self-employed and the key things that helped them stay the course, in particular, how:

  • Fear of taking a chance on ourselves is normal, which is why listening to mindset podcasts and getting inspiration that tells us our dream is possible is really important
  • The work experience you already have is exactly what you can monetise in a way that best meets your lifestyle desires
  • Starting a business is a lot of work and you have to have faith that the payoff is coming down the line and do it despite the fear
  • Having like-minded peers who are doing something similar to provide support is a huge game-changer and makes us more likely to succeed
  • Shifting from a life that is created by default to a life created by design will change everything in the best possible way

“I wonder how many educators feel they’re betraying themselves each day when they show up at a job that they do not love. It’s that understanding that this system is not going to change, the impact that I want to make is not going to be made because of the system, and there is something greater for me.”

Are you a multi-passionate person? Do you struggle to decide which of your passions to focus your energy on?

In today’s episode, Dr Shenelle DuBose speaks with Sharonda Dreams to unpack the myth that multi-passionate people have to choose one passion at the expense of all the others.

Dr DuBose and her guest Sharonda Dreams outline how you can find the most effective focus point from amongst your passions and how committing to that will result in rapid forward movement as well as your other interests being woven in. Some key takeaways from this episode are:

  • Being multi-passionate doesn’t have to be a handicap; you can turn it to your advantage
  • When you’re really passionate about something you can harness that drive to make things move fast
  • Center yourself and ask, “What can I do that will make the most impact the quickest, that will have the most reach?” and then commit to that
  • Once you commit your focus to one thing it will open up doors to the other things you love as well
  • You actually can have it all: a purpose-driven business doing all the things you love AND the relationship you dream of, and it begins with knowing and loving yourself

“Some of the challenges that multi-passionate people have is they think, “Well I’m going to use this gift - but then what about this other gift that I’m really good at?”, and then they want to go back and forth, but according to what (Sharonda) is saying, once you get into the main gift it will make room for the rest of the gifts.” - Dr Shenelle DuBose, S1 E8, Educators Moving on Podcast

Are you tired of feeling like you don’t have enough money to live the life you want?

In today’s episode, Dr. Shenelle DuBose and special guest Claudisha Harriel explore the myriad limiting beliefs that hamper our ability to create wealth and abundance with ease and how we can reframe them to create empowering money mindsets.

Dr. Shenelle DuBose and special guest Claudisha Harriel share their experiences in shifting from limiting beliefs around money and wealth to a prosperity mindset, in particular, these key points:

  • The taboo of talking about what we earn as women and how that impacts our ability to negotiate our contracts and salaries - we need to be having these conversations
  • How to grow our mindsets around how we earn, spend, invest and protect our money
  • How the “make something out of nothing” mindset actually holds us back from an abundance mindset and how to change this
  • The particular limiting beliefs around money and abundance that educators get socialized with and how to replace them with more constructive narratives
  • How money is a tool that offers freedom, choice, and an expanded ability to invest in ourselves and the things we care about

“Abundance is our birthright. You can have whatever you want, you get to design the life of your dreams, but you have to create it and if you’re trying to create this life with a flawed understanding it’s going to be challenging.”

Has your dream of being an educator grown stagnant?

In this week’s episode, Dr. Shenelle DuBose and special guest Nicole Hurst explore how our dreams change and evolve, how to leverage our expertise and how doubt is the only real limitation we face.

Dr. Shenelle DuBose speaks with one of her clients who, after only a few months of coaching, has created a business doing what she loves and is making money from it. They share the process Nicole went through to get where she is now, in particular highlighting:

  • The impact of letting go of the plan we’ve had for our lives and realizing it’s ok to change our minds about what we want and that we can do things differently
  • How teacher training prepares you for only one thing - being a teacher in a classroom - but that this is not a limitation we have to accept
  • How Nicole leveraged her teaching expertise once she became a stay-at-home Mom to create a business doing what she loves
  • The process of daring to dream a new dream and starting to take the first steps towards making it a reality
  • The only real limitations are in our own heads; you have something valuable to offer and there are people out there who will pay for it

“You find a problem and you solve it and people will pay you for it because it brings value. We all have something that we do, that’s just second nature to us but for other people, it is a true task; it eats up their time, it’s not a good use of their time and it is valuable for them to have someone else to support them, to guide them, to provide a service for them, and they’re willing to pay for it.”

  • We need to be both the consumer and the producer because we are also paying the bills and we need to put something into our cash flow.
  • What we provide is a service and of immense value, so why not charge for that?
  • We have to give up that control of wanting to be in our comfort zone and start to choose if we are selling or starving.
  • We have to stop seeing people as broken and start to see them as a whole who need our service to keep going.

Quote:

“Stop helping people, seeing them as broken and start serving people, seeing them as whole and understand the value that you’re delivering and request to be paid. You gotta put a price on it. No one else can determine your value. You get to determine the value that you bring.”

Do you ever wonder how some people are really great at what they do?

This week’s episode taught us this one strategy that most educators are missing, to be able to stay in our zone of genius and not fall prey to the many distractions that exist.

Dr. Shenelle DuBose, an expert educator, and successful consultant, opened our eyes to the best strategy to stay in our zone of genius. She provided us with the following key points to follow:

  • Identify what you are really good at and hone it.
  • Know your own individual gifts that you can strengthen and leverage.
  • Do not be distracted by the noise of your everyday lives and do not lose focus on the things that you do with grace and ease.
  • Educators need to leverage in order to stay in their zone of genius, be energized and be successful in the thing that they love doing.

“We have to stop starting from scratch and learn to use leverage and utilize the resources that are around us, repurpose things. Leverage is about collaboration and not competition.”

PS: Below quote is the one that really struck me but the quote above is the one more connected to the main topic. I don’t know how you do in this situation, so I’ll just give you the option to choose.

“There's nothing wrong with having a competitive nature but know when you're competing and when you're not and who you're competing against. The only person you should be competing against should be yourself, to be the best version of yourself. Today is one day, tomorrow I will try to be a better me than I was yesterday.”

Do you wonder why it seems only a few get to live the life of their dreams and others have to work really hard to make ends meet?

In today’s episode, Dr. Shenelle DuBose, an experienced educator, a renowned speaker, and successful consultant, gets down to brass tacks about the 10 biggest money myths that are known and why many educators fall prey to them.

Dr. Dubose discussed the myths that educators fall victims into and how to dispel them. She particularly highlighted that:

  • Money is morally neutral, not hard to make, and can give us happiness through the choices it can provide us and our family.
  • We have to invest. We have to plant the seeds, and then provide the service or get the support that we need, in order to make the money that we want to make.
  • And it’s not just about money, it’s about the resources and resourcefulness.
  • We, as educators, have to stop doing, believing, sharing, and digesting disempowering statements that were instilled into us.
  • Educators should learn to monetize their skillset and expertise.

“I want you to know that it is possible for educators to make six figures in education, but sometimes, it just requires a change of mindset. Figure out the rules to the game and figure out how you can get into the game instead of sitting on the sidelines.”

Are you framed to choose only one between being rich and being good?

This week’s episode tells us about how, by changing our mindset, we can possibly achieve both living with abundance and operating out of integrity.

Dr Shenelle DuBose, who has successfully lived-through the same situation, guides us on how we can get our hearts’ desires without sacrificing nobility. She leads us to the points where she emphasizes that:

  • We learned our notions of good and bad, hard work and laziness, rich and poor from our childhood and grew up in a system that taught us that this is an either-or world, though in reality, we live in a both-and world.
  • We don’t need to sacrifice what we want just to show that we are operating out of lack.
  • We should dream a bigger dream, stop limiting ourselves and surround ourselves with people who dream big as well.
  • We need to focus on our strengths and monetize that.
  • We should reframe our thoughts and celebrate our small achievements.

“Just because you've decided that you were going to be an educator doesn't mean that you've decided that you don't want to live good, it doesn't mean that you don't get to have luxury, if that's what you so choose, it doesn't mean that you don't get to have all the desires of your heart. But it does mean that you have to start choosing you.”

Do you feel like you are stuck and hitting a dead end in your teaching career?

Today’s Educators Moving on episode talks about how educators who are feeling stuck can move forward, unlock their possibilities and achieve the life that they really want.

In this episode, Dr Shenelle DuBose, an experienced educator, who not so long ago used to be where you are now and is now a thriving consultant, who had her own personal encounters walks us through on:

  • How educators can reconcile and move on from feeling stuck, unfulfilled, less energized, and less motivated.
  • What course of actions made educators exhausted which consumed the passion that they used to have
  • How the education system subconsciously implants disheartening subliminal messages on educators’ minds.
  • How obtaining awareness, accepting the reality, making a different choice, and taking action can free the educators from their monotonous life of misery.
  • And how taking the risk to bet on themselves, and putting their happiness ahead can make them the star of their own show.

"And all you have to do is be willing to bet on yourself, you're going to need to put yourself first, you're going to have to decide that you are the star of your own show, you have to be willing to say that I'm gonna live the life of my dreams."

Are you looking to move on from your role as an educator? Do you want to discover a new purpose?

Welcome to the Educators Moving On Podcast with Dr. Shenelle DuBose.

Let's hone in and get the thing that you are good at packaged up and monetized, regardless as to whether it is as an educational consultant, as a health coach, or as an online tutor.

This podcast is going to step in and show you how you can become unstuck, let go of that dream, and start chasing and creating a new dream.

On Educators Moving On, we will be getting into the technicalities of how to take something you're good at, package it, and, and learn how to sell it. We will work on letting go of things that are holding you back from being who you want to be now. You gotta let go of something in order to move towards something new. To go from a teacher to a business owner you have to become a CEO, and, and being a CEO is not being a teacher.

This will be a weekly podcast, and I will be here to guide you through getting unstuck and monitoring your brilliance every week. Subscribe so that you can make sure you never miss an episode.

Let's start letting go of who we are right now and move towards being who we really want to be on the Educators Moving On Podcast.
