She's built a supportive community and developed tailored resources, and we're delighted to have her share her inspiring journey with us.
Remember how it felt to face the first formidable challenge of your teen years, seemingly alone in the world? Roberta Axson faced just that, becoming a teen mom at 16 years old.

She provides a candid insight into the unique perspective of teen moms, underscoring how crucial it is for the larger community to understand and meet their needs. Roberta's personal journey fuels her passion for helping teen moms, and she's here to share how her work is revolutionizing not only the Teen Moms 2 Beyond community but also the entire community involved in family restructuring.
But Roberta doesn't stop there; she's also a beacon of light in the education field. With no-nonsense advice on the significance of authenticity and self-care for educators, she encourages teachers to embrace their individuality, and disregard the temptation to mimic others. Roberta wraps up with some profound reflections on the societal expectations placed on women, and the emotional reactions they often provoke. You'll walk away feeling not only inspired by Roberta Axson but also equipped with some valuable nuggets of wisdom. Tune in for this enlightening conversation!

142. A Crisis Plan for Educators in the Weeds
Disrupting Burnout
04/02/25 • 25 min
Feeling overwhelmed with no words to express it? That's the reality for countless educators across America. Unlike the restaurant industry where saying "I'm blown" triggers immediate support, educators hide their struggles, compounding their suffering in silence.
Dr. Patrice Buckner Jackson (PBJ) addresses this critical disconnect in today's powerful episode. Drawing from her dissertation research on crisis response, she reveals how educational institutions excel at creating emergency plans for students but have no protocols for supporting overwhelmed faculty and staff. She shares compelling stories about managing hurricane crises—both with and without proper planning—highlighting how preparation creates confidence even when unexpected variables arise.
The most valuable takeaway? Communication remains the cornerstone of effective crisis management. When Augusta, Georgia faced unexpected hurricane damage, PBJ observed how city officials maintained communication channels even when they had no updates, providing residents with peace amidst chaos. This same principle applies to managing burnout in education—open, consistent communication prevents people from filling information gaps with fear-driven narratives.
Ready to create a crisis plan for your educational team? PBJ guides you through identifying what you can control, what you can influence, and what you must accept. She emphasizes engaging your team in developing solutions, leveraging their expertise while building trust. The STOP plan offers practical micro-breaks that create sustainable rhythms of rest without requiring extended sabbaticals.
Don't wait until your educational team is completely burnt out. Download the STOP plan today and begin implementing micro-breaks that allow for revival while serving. Remember, you already possess the strategic skills to create effective crisis plans—it's time to apply them to the burnout crisis facing education today.

🔒 Chapter 4: Living in Alignment (Disrupting Burnout by Dr. Patrice Buckner Jackson audiobook)
Disrupting Burnout
03/04/24 • 31 min
I never truly appreciated the weight of the invisible backpack I carried until I realized it was holding me back from my true potential. Today, we unravel the profound connection between the alignment in our spines and the harmony within our belief systems. Drawing from the chiropractic philosophy, I delve into how releasing the burdens of outdated beliefs and emotional scars is much like realigning a misaligned spine – both are transformative, leading to a healthier, more purpose-driven existence. This episode is particularly close to my heart as it reflects on the deep-seated impact of carrying the likes of shame, guilt, and inherited pain, and how shedding these weights allows us to step into the freedom of our inherent worth.
Have you ever considered the intricate parallels between healing a physical wound and mending the emotional ones? Our discussion today also peels back the layers of the healing journey, emphasizing the need for bravery in confronting our pains and the invaluable role of guidance from healthcare professionals, literature, or coaching. Through personal anecdotes and insights, we uncover the beauty of the healing process and how it redefines our perceptions of strength and resilience. The episode is a testament to how healing ourselves can set the stage for generational recovery, prompting us to sift through life's challenges and choose which experiences to hold on to and which to let go, propelling us towards a life of intentional living.

Some days in education leave scars on our hearts that never fully heal. On the tenth anniversary of a tragic accident that claimed the lives of five nursing students, I'm taking you behind the scenes of crisis leadership on a college campus.
When I was serving as Dean of Students at Georgia Southern University, I couldn't have known that an urgent summons from our police chief would plunge me into one of the most challenging experiences of my career. From the frantic moments of identifying victims to the heart-wrenching task of notifying families and supporting a grieving campus community, this episode offers an intimate look at the realities of campus crisis management.
Beyond sharing memories of our five nursing students - Caitlyn, Morgan, Emily, Abbie, and McKay - I'm opening up about what I wish someone had told me about caring for myself while caring for others. Crisis leadership exacts a toll that many administrators silently bear, often at great personal cost. Drawing from my experience across multiple campus tragedies, I share critical wisdom about establishing your foundation before crisis hits, knowing when to take essential breaks during the chaos, building trustworthy teams that can withstand pressure, and why seeking professional help afterward isn't optional.
Whether you're an administrator, counselor, teacher or leader who has faced tragedy or wants to be prepared when it comes, this conversation offers both practical guidance and permission to acknowledge your own humanity. Crisis may be part of our work in education, but it doesn't have to cost us our wellbeing.
Have you supported others through crisis? I'd love to hear what helped you navigate those difficult waters. Share your experience or reach out for support - we're stronger when we acknowledge that even the helpers need healing.

131. Protecting Your Brilliance: Balancing Passion and Self-Care
Disrupting Burnout
10/09/24 • 14 min
Hey Friend,
Ever found yourself with a full calendar, caught between the exhilaration of passionate work and the challenge of maintaining your inner equilibrium? This week, I, Dr. Patrice Buckner Jackson, dive into that very experience, sharing personal anecdotes, including a heartwarming reunion with a former student that reminded me of the joy found in genuine connections.
In this episode titled "Protecting Your Brilliance: Balancing Passion and Self-Care," I explore not just the dynamic of pouring through passion, but also the critical importance of safeguarding your unique brilliance. It's vital to ensure it stays vibrant, even under the pressures of a hectic schedule. We'll discuss how separating passion from identity is essential for maintaining balance and avoiding burnout, especially for introverts who require quiet emotional and social rejuvenation.
Join me as I reveal strategies for integrating self-care into your life as a non-negotiable element of sustaining your brilliance. Reflect on the power of surrounding yourself with a supportive community to help fill your own cup and continue sharing your gifts without depleting your reserves. Through intentional choices, like choosing rest over social obligations, we'll uncover how to protect our inherent power and significance.
Let’s embark on this journey of self-reflection together and rediscover the love and support that truly surround us. Remember, our brilliance isn’t just a byproduct of our passions—it’s a core part of who we are.
Love Always,
PBJ
