In this special bonus episode, I’m hitting pause on my usual content to have an honest and much-needed conversation about teacher burnout. While I typically focus on teaching strategies, classroom routines, student engagement, and building a love of reading, today I’m shifting the spotlight to the emotional toll this profession can take—because supporting our students starts with supporting ourselves.
I’ll walk you through what burnout looks like—beyond just a tough day—and how it can show up physically, emotionally, and professionally. I’ll discuss common causes like overwhelming workloads, emotional exhaustion, and the constant pressure to do more with less. Most importantly, I’ll share real, practical strategies that have helped me manage burnout.
And if you’re questioning whether to stay in the profession, we’ll talk about that too—with honesty and without guilt.
If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, disconnected, or simply exhausted, this episode is for you. Let’s open the conversation, find a path forward, and remind ourselves that taking care of you is not only okay—it’s essential.
