Are you ending the year feeling tired, disconnected, or wondering if all your hard work made a difference?
In this episode, I’m opening up about five things I wish I had known earlier in my teaching career — before burnout crept in. These aren’t just reflective lessons; they’re practical shifts that helped me move from survival mode to a place of clarity, confidence, and connection in the classroom.
Whether you're in year one or year twenty, this episode is a reminder that burnout doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong — it might just mean you're carrying too much without enough support.
💡 In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why burnout is often the result of cognitive overload and decision fatigue
- How clarity in your “why” can reduce overwhelm
- Why collecting strategies isn’t enough without a framework
- What changed when I stopped trying to create everything from scratch
- And how finding a supportive community shifted everything
