Anyone else? 🙋🏼‍♀️🫣

For 51 weeks of the year, I question NOTHING of my career choice.

…but the week we prepare everything and submit to our CPA? UGH.

Cue midlife crisis.

Why does my job cost me so much money?! 😩

(This is all very tongue-in-cheek… but that double social-security business HURTS. As does getting your new quarterly estimates for the coming year. 😅)

NOW TELL ME YOURS:

How do YOU know you’re a studio teacher during tax season? 😂 #beyondmeasurepodcast #pianoteacher #pianoteaching #pianoteacherlife #iteachmusic #pianoteachersofinstagram #musicteaching #pianoteachers

This is the stuff right? 🌟🌟🌟

As my family kicks off a welcome spring break, I sit here with a heart full of gratitude.

I am grateful this work found me at an early age.

I am grateful I was met with support from my own teachers and studio families on Day 1

I am grateful to be heading into my 30th (!) teaching year with a roster of studio families I absolutely adore. (not to mention an army of teacher friends around the world! 😘)

And - as Scott Hayden says in this quote - it truly is this convergence of loves that makes it all worth it. 🤍

Cheers to love for the music, love for the people, and bringing the two together so this legacy continues long past our own days on this earth. 🥂

Nothing lasts forever, friends. (For better and

Nothing lasts forever, friends.

(For better and for worse)

Take 13 minutes and ponder the Teacher Implications of this with me - your Anytime Piano Teacher Friend - in Episode 208 of Beyond Measure. 🥂 #pianoteacher #beyondmeasurepodcast #pianoteaching #pianoteacherlife #iteachmusic #musicteaching #musicteacher #pianoteachersofinstagram #pianoteachers #musicteachersofinstagram

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER! ⏰ After wrestling aroun

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER! ⏰

After wrestling around with the question of “do I publish late or just skip a week altogether”? I opted to quit over-thinking and just do the thing. 😂

Friends, I give you episode 208: a most-important reminder for the season of TeacherLife we are in.

It won’t always look like this. Change is on the horizon. Let’s appreciate the students we have now, while we have them. 🤍

Find Episode 208 anywhere you listen to podcasts. See you (again!) on Monday! 🥂

Let’s talk SELF-IMPOSED DEADLINES….

Yes, it’s good to have goals. Consistency matters. Showing up is important.

That is ALL true.

And yet, sometimes you have to take a breath and realize the only thing tying you to a particular commitment is YOU. 🙃

I felt myself start to get panicky about getting today’s episode published, and then I remembered: THIS is the perk of being a Little Guy in the podcast world.

Absolutely nothing/no one suffers if I don’t publish an episode on Monday morning.

For this one week, I’ll be a Tuesday morning podcast. All will be well.

SO: to those who have messaged me today, worried you’ve missed something… episode 208 is just fashionably late this week.

(Sidenote: oh-how-lovely to know I am missed! Thanks to those who noticed my absence today. It’s good to know you’re watching out for me 🥰)

TELL ME: what self-imposed deadlines do YOU struggle with from time to time? 💭

There are two types of people who walk into a room

There are two types of people who walk into a room…

And we talk about both of them in Episode 207 of the Beyond Measure Podcast.

Spend 15 minutes with me pondering The Stuff of Teacher Life! 🥂
