If you are a teacher who is not taking action due to fear and living in chaos, let me tell you - you are not alone. In this episode, I share a personal story about how my daughters had to switch schools just two weeks before the start of the school year and how this unexpected change brought up a lot of fear and anxiety—both for them and for me.

We dive into how fear of the unknown can paralyze us as educcators leading to procrastination, overactivity, and eventually burnout. We explore the different fears teachers face daily—from fear of failure to fear of losing their jobs—and how these fears create chaos in our lives. I also give my super simple 2-step plan to help you move from chaos to calm. It's literally so simple that I wish it were more difficult..

Being a burned out teacher is hard but being a burned out teacher with a disability presents unique challenges to face every day. We all know that teachers give so much of themselves to their teaching so it’s especially important for teachers with disabilities to set and hold boundaries in order to take care of themselves.

In this episode, we get to chat with Hayley Spira-Bauer about her experiences teaching with disabilities and how she navigated the two in tandem. She is sharing how she experienced burnout while teaching and the need for self-advocacy among teachers who often feel pressured to meet their students' needs while neglecting their own. We’re also looking at how teacher vacancies impact overall teacher well-being and how she is still making an impact on students and teachers through her current role.

Hayley Spira-Bauer is the Chief Operating Officer of Fullmind as well as a New York State certified teacher. She spent the tenure of her teaching career in brick and mortar schools in New York City, working in a public school in the South Bronx and and then a charter school in Harlem for a decade. She has been with Fullmind for seven years doing equity-based work around the United States, supplying state-certified teachers to schools to solve various pain points and is currently the Chief Operating Officer/Chief Academic Officer. Hayley is very, very deeply committed to leaving this world a better way than when she came into it.

As teachers, we often didn't get into the profession thinking we'd be rolling in the dough, but we at least expected to receive a livable wage. The fact of the matter is that many teachers are feeling stress and burnout often from their finances. And while, teachers should be paid fairly according to their experience and education with systemic change, at some point, we can be proactive.

That's why I am excited to have special guest, George Kamel, on the show to chat all things financial freedom and budgeting for teachers. George Kamel is a national bestselling author of Breaking Free From Broke and a personal finance expert. Following Ramsey’s proven money plan, George went from negative net worth to a millionaire in under 10 years. Since 2013, he has served on the Ramsey team, speaking across the country, co-hosting top-ranked Ramsey Network podcasts, like Smart Money Happy Hour and The Ramsey Show. George has. been featured on Fox News, Fox Business, and The Iced Coffee Hour, among other networks. On his YouTube channel, George educates and entertains, exposing the financial system designed to keep you broke. His goal is to help people spend less, save more, and avoid money traps so they can live a life with more margin, options and freedom.

EPISODE 8  Are you struggling with getting a grip on your duties as a professional and still living a life outside of work?  Work-life balance for educators is one of the most difficult tasks to accomplish because we feel like we have to give more, be more, and do it all - "for the kids."  The fact is that the majority of educators lack work-life balance which impacts their stress levels, their families, and eventually leads to burnout.  Lacking this important balance is not going to support our well-being.  Being in burnout is not going to help the kids.

That's why in this episode, I am giving you three practical tips so you can gain better work-life balance and beat burnout this school year.

EPISODE 7  We know from research that teacher burnout can very well set the stage and cause a ripple effect which can impact student behavior, academics, etc.  However, if you are an educator, you know that difficult student behavior can also lead to teacher burnout.  So which came first?  The chicken (burnout) or the egg (behavior)?  And how can we prevent behavior issues from impacting our burnout?  Even as a veteran teacher, you may be nervous about the coming school year because of the uncharacteristic influx of disruptive and out of hand behaviors occurring in your classroom.

Today, we are welcoming a duo that are behavior experts bringing some tips that you can use as you return back to school this fall to help reduce burnout from student behavior.  They share with us how we can regulate our nervous system and emotions so behaviors are not as detrimental, strategies to keep behaviors at bay, and so much more.  In this episode, I interview Gina Peluso and Rachel Nye from Behavior By Design.

Gina is a kindergarten teacher and classroom/behavior management coach for teachers. With over a decade of experience in the classroom, she knows first-hand what it's like to struggle to teach because you're constantly managing behaviors. Rachel is a special education teacher and certified trauma professional passionate about helping teachers shape student behavior through a trauma informed lens.  Gina and Rachel met on instagram and instantly realized their philosophies about behavior management were aligned. They realized they could have a bigger impact on teachers by working together. Their mission is to empower teachers to change student behavior in positive ways by equipping them with easy-to-implement behavior supports and have fun while they're at it!

EPISODE 6  Are you still struggling to get a hang of this burnout recovery thing?  Some people can implement some strategies and feel a little better, but often times one very important thing is missing.

Inner work.  Before you can bring your best self into your classroom, you need to ensure that you are regularly monitoring yourself for signs of destructive behavior that end up cycling in burnout.  This is the last episode in the Summer Self-Care for Burnout Recovery Series and the perfect end to this specific series because without this, none of the rest will really matter. 

When it comes to recovering from burnout, there are lots of different methods for inner work and there are many reasons why it is important.  We are covering all of that and more in today's episode and I brought on Ce'arra Richards to join in on the conversation.

Ce’arra Richards is a First Grade Teacher who believes that teachers can Trojan Horse the archaic and failing education system from the inside out by taking rebellious and radical personal responsibility; using inner work to heal. Ce’arra believes that inner child work heals the teacher; therefore impacting the humanization of self and students. Ce’arra has spent eight years teaching first grade at a rural, Title 1, public school; as well as seven years combined as a paraprofessional educator, school secretary, and district grants manager/writer. Although Ce’arra experienced considerable adversity throughout her childhood, through extreme dedication and discipline, Ce’arra put herself through college to reach her dream of becoming a teacher. Ce’arra has also worked extensively to heal her trauma, including her inner child and is currently sharing with teachers how this healing directly affects teaching, reignites passion, prevents burnout, and will reform the failing education system from the inside out.

EPISODE 5  Have you ever wondered how you to create a burnout recovery plan?  How long will it take?  How will you find the time? In Episode 3, I gave you some really great information about the stress cycle and how it relates to our summer break as educators. Then we talked about some practical and evidence-based ways to complete the stress cycle in Episode 4.  Now we are combining all of the information we've learned about the stress cycle and developing a plan in an hour (or less) to recover this summer and head into the new school year - reignited and rejuvenated.

This is the third episode in the Summer Self-Care to Burnout Recovery series, so if you haven't listened to Episode 3 and Episode 4 yet, you'll want to go back and listen to those first because a lot of the things we talk about in this episode build upon what we learned in those episodes.

Stress as a teacher is something you just can't get away from. It's bound to happen but in order to avoid burnout and sustain your career, we have to take steps to mitigate it in realtime.  

My friend, who you might know as Educator Andrea on Tiktok & Instagram, actually gained some social media notoriety for her hilarious classroom stories, but what you might not know is that she has her Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction. Her research and dissertation was all about factors that impact teacher attrition most. What might surprise you is that it was not the class size, it was not the grade level, but it was overwhelmingly one specific area, which we will talk all about in this episode.

In this episode, we talk all about her journey from teacher to professor, her research and dissertation about what could help teachers sustain their careers as educators, and we also chat our experiences in the classroom to let you know you're not alone.

One of the reasons that students are apathetic and disengaged is because they don’t see the point or value in learning.

We’ve talked in this short mini-series about apathetic students and disengagement and some real strategies and mindset shifts we can make as educators to reduce the burnout from these types of behaviors.

We need a way to reignite our passion but also to intrinsically motivate students to see the value in life-long learning. Last week we talked about adding productive struggle to our classrooms to support students in building the life skills necessary, but this week, I want us to get into the nitty gritty of taking this a step farther and implementing project-based learning strategies that can transform the way students see the value in their education. Where we shift from the traditional 'sit and get' method to a more hands-on, minds-on approach where students aren't just passive recipients but active participants.

That’s why in today’s episode, we chat with Dr. Diondraya Taylor, who is the founder adn CEO of Mindset & Milestones - a social enterprise that helps schools and youth organizations create real-world learning programs using project-based learning. They provide a weekly project newsletter for teachers and program development services for admin who want to take their schools to the next level. Dr. Taylor fell in love with entrepreneurial thinking through her roles with different startups, and this is where she recognized that applying problem-solving to the real world is an amazing tool for educators to encourage innovation and ambition in their students. Dr. Taylor is also a triple Bruin having graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in psychobiology and entrepreneurship, a Master’s in Education, and a Ph.D. in Education and Organizational Change. Between her business and her research, she is committed to the preparation of youth for the future of work and transforming classrooms into spaces for real-world learning.

If you've ever faced the challenge of staring at blank faces of your uninterested and disengaged students, you know how hard it is to spark their curiosity. Actually getting them to take action is a struggle in and of itself, but what if I told you there's a transformative approach that could flip the switch from apathy to engagement? That’s exactly what we're diving into in today’s episode, where we explore the game-changing strategy of teaching productive struggle.

This isn’t just about getting students to just pay attention; it’s about empowering them to embrace the challenges of learning head-on. But how, you ask? How do we transform struggle into a force for engagement? How do we make our classrooms a place where mistakes are not just tolerated but celebrated as stepping stones to learning? That's exactly what my special guest, Mona Iehl from Mona Math, and I discuss today - what exactly productive struggle is, how it helps to bridge the gap between apathy & action, and practical steps that we can take to weave productive struggle into the fabric of our teaching, regardless of what subject we teach.

Mona is a former math avoider, teacher & instructional coach in Chicago. Her passion for math came when she discovered how to engage every student in a subject she, too, disliked. Through intentionally changing her math class to help students BE mathematicians using a student centered approach math came alive for Mona and her students. Now Mona collaboratively coaches teachers in building a math culture through rigorous student centered math instruction. You can listen to Mona every Monday on her podcast, Honest Math Chat.

As a teacher, one of the biggest challenges that is experienced in 2024 is the increase in students who don’t put forth any effort and won’t think for themselves. There is an epidemic of apathetic students in our classrooms and this behavior is met with the push for teachers to do and be more.

In this episode, we chat with Angela Watson about how the solution is not to put more onus on teachers, but rather supportn students with how to take initiative and persevere through challenges.

Angela Watson is a productivity and mindset specialist, author, and motivational speaker for educators. She is National Board Certified and has a masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction, along with 11 years of classroom teaching experience and over a decade of experience as an instructional coach. Angela believes in challenging the narrative of the overworked and unappreciated “super teacher.” Through her blog, podcast, books, printables, online courses, and professional development services, Angela has supported countless teachers in choosing a new identity for themselves which is healthy and focused on what matters most.

Have you ever felt like your job as a teacher isn't just a part of your life, but somehow, it's started to be your life? You're not alone. Many of us teachers have find ourselves caught in a cycle where the lines between professional and personal blur—a phenomenon psychologists call "enmeshment." It's like our work has slowly woven itself into every fiber of our being, dictating not just how we spend our hours but also shaping our identity and worth.

While being passionate and dedicated is admirable, this enmeshment can steer us toward a dangerous cliff of exhaustion and burnout. It's a reality many of us face, yet struggle to navigate. The question then becomes, how do we untangle ourselves from this intricate web and reclaim our autonomy, ensuring our jobs enrich, not consume, our lives?

In this episode, we talk about how identity loss is a byproduct of burnout, how preserving our personal life is protective, and the three things we can do today to detach our worth and find balance.

One of the biggest struggles that teachers are having with implementing Artificial Intelligence in their classrooms is the fear that somehow using AI will somehow make their jobs obsolete. The other is that they don't know how it use AI effectively. That's why I brought onto the show, Ren Wang, the co-founder of HiLink, to discuss the potential of AI in education, debunking myths and highlighting how it's set to support, not supplant, the irreplaceable human element of teaching.

In this episode, we discuss his inspiration behind creating HilLink and the critical role of data in personalized learning, envisioning a future where technology seamlessly integrates into educational environments to offer bespoke learning experiences. We talk about his predictions on the future of AI in the classroom and the power of it in helping support educators.  So, if you're curious about how technology and AI like Hilink can transform your teaching experience, streamline your workflow, and allow you to reclaim your passion for education, this episode is for you.

Ever caught yourself in that late-night teacher's trance, just you and the ceiling after a long day, wondering why your tank feels empty? 🤔 If you're nodding along, know that you're in good company. Teacher burnout has this sneaky way of creeping up on us, even when we're pouring our hearts into what we love. It's like one minute you're on fire, full of passion, and the next, you're questioning if all the effort is worth it. But here's a little secret: burnout doesn't discriminate. It can hit us even when we're in the midst of our teaching passion.

So, what's up with that? 🧠 In today's episode, we're diving deep into our brains during burnout. Why do our brains trick us into feeling all doom and gloom? How do our internal chemical cocktails—dopamine and epinephrine—play into our feelings of fulfillment and motivation (or the lack thereof)? And the real kicker: how can we, as dedicated educators, hack our brain's reward system to reignite that teaching spark?

This isn't your average pep talk. It's a science-backed, actionable guide to flipping the script on burnout. From setting micro-goals that make us feel like champions 🏆 to finding joy in the little wins that keep our teaching flame alive, we're here to unpack how to make teaching sustainable and joyful again.

Ready to hack your way to a happier teaching life? Then this episode is for you!

In this episode, we dive into the power of human connection and how it can be the key to overcoming teacher burnout and truly connecting with your students. Teaching isn’t just about imparting knowledge; it’s about building relationships, fostering empathy, and bringing your authentic self into the classroom. We get to chat with Jared Scott, who will guide us in exploring how embracing our humanity not only helps us stay resilient in the face of challenges but also creates a supportive environment where students can thrive. Jared Scott's motivational movement began at the young age of 15, marking the start of an impactful career dedicated to inspiring resilience and hope. Today, Jared is known as an award winning speaker that creates legacies and movements wherever he goes. He is also a proud husband and father, an author, and a counselor.

Jared’s aspiration to become a public speaker started when he was 15 with a mental health crisis in his hometown when there were 12 attempted suicides and four teens committed suicide, in a single year, two of them being friends of his. Deeply Affected by this tragedy, Jared wrote and performed a song in local schools, aiming to offer hope and connection to those feeling isolated.

Guided by the experienced speaker and former Globetrotter, Melvin Adams, Jared has since earned a degree in Behavioral Health Sciences and gone one to work with over 1,000 schools through the Culture Shift Tour.

If you've been dealing with the idea that students now-a-days are completely apathetic, you are certainly not alone. It seems like in recent years, students' disengagement has increased. However, it's important to realize that it's not just about them, but it's about us as well.

In this episode, we are diving into one of the questions from The Resilient Teacher Community members, who asked, "How do you not burnout when students appear to be apathetic about learning & don’t put effort into their work?" We'll dive into this idea of student engagement - or lack thereof, with special guest, Danielle Nuhfer. Danielle is a former public school teacher turned coach and the author of The Path of the Mindful Teacher and founder of Teaching Well. She's spent the last 20+ years navigating the ebbs and flows of the current school system, while helping clients prioritize their own well-being so that they can be their best selves inside and outside their classrooms and schools.

We are going to talk about the common misconceptions around student disengagement, and she will share her unique TLC approach – a strategy that empowers us to understand and reshape our interactions with students.

Are you feeling the weight of the teaching world on your shoulders, especially when it comes to those dreaded sick days? As teachers, we've all been there – waking up feeling under the weather, yet the thought of calling in sick seems more daunting than sucking it up in the classroom. But here's the thing: it's time to break this cycle of overwhelm and guilt.

In this episode, we address the common struggle teachers face when it comes to taking sick days. The pressure to power through illness, the guilt of taking time off, and the overwhelming task of preparing detailed sub plans can leave educators feeling trapped in a toxic cycle of self-sacrifice. We explore the reasons why teachers often get sick at the most inconvenient times, such as before, during, and after breaks, and offer practical tips to manage this without adding extra stress. From understanding the impact of chronic stress on our immune systems to automating sub plans and empowering students to take responsibility for their learning, we delve into essential strategies for reducing the overwhelm around sick days. Join us as we challenge the narrative, provide actionable steps, and empower educators to prioritize their well-being in a system that often demands self-sacrifice.

One of the reasons we experience burnout is because we're just bored. I know I've been that teacher, where things just aren't as exciting as they used to be.

Insert reflection and micro-learning. Developing personally and professionally has actually been proven to help combat burnout and keep us passionate about our work. In this episode, we explore the concept of micro learning and its powerful role in reigniting the spark and passion in teaching.

As we embark on a brand new year, many of us may find ourselves reflecting on the past and seeking to set new goals and intentions for the future. In the midst of uncertainty and challenging times, it's crucial to find a renewed sense of purpose and direction. In this episode, we dive into navigating through difficult seasons, reprioritizing our lives, and finding a sense of intention and purpose.

In this episode, I share a personal story that I've been reflecting on since the end of 2023 and how the difficult circumstances led to a profound shift in perspective that I know at least one other teacher out there may need to hear as well. My intention with this episode is to bring you a sense of renewed purpose for the new year.

It's a brand new year coming up - 2024 - time flies when you're having fun...right? Look, It's time to break the cycle of burnout and start the new year off on the right foot. Last year, we released an episode and I think everything is still super relevant for today.

So, throughout this episode if I mention 2023, just know it goes the same for 2024. I've been in burnout recovery for almost 5 years and I want to remind you that recovery is not linear. It has dips where we slip back and we do things that we aren't so proud of, but that's why in this episode I am bringing you four teacher burnout habits not to bring into 2024...and number four - it's a real doozy!

This week, I am bringing you an episode from the archives that you might have missed.

If you are a teacher who has struggled with cycling in burnout over and over again, you might be addicted to stress. In this episode, I am sharing with you how being addicted to stress can keep you in the burnout cycle, how our bodies become addicted to stress subconciously, how to tell if you are addicted to stress, and what we can actually do about it.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, 'If I can't do it perfectly, why bother doing it at all?' Maybe you've felt this way about your personal development as an educator, believing that you must always feel passionate and energized, and if you ever experience moments of doubt or fatigue, you’re somehow failing in your role. Or perhaps it’s in how you utilize resources in your classroom, thinking that you need to use every recommended teaching resource to its fullest, otherwise, you’re not making the most of the tools available to you.

This black-and-white thinking can be a major roadblock in our teaching journey, making us feel like we're either superhero educators or just not cutting it. That mindset can be incredibly limiting, setting us up for unrealistic expectations and unnecessary stress. But here's the twist: What if there's a whole spectrum of success in between?

In this episode, my friend Kelsey Sorenson from Wife Teacher Mommy is talking about two major cognitive distortions that could be limiting your mindset in the classroom - all or nothing thinking and overgeneralization. And if you like this episode, you will love the Winter Educate & Rejuvenate conference she is putting on in just a few weeks! You won’t want to miss out being a part of this as I am a keynote speaker chatting about how AI can save you time and energy to be the beat the burnout cycle once and for all.

Automating your classroom to reduce teacher burnout has never been easier before. If you’ve tinkered with idea of incorporating AI into your workflow, you're in the right place! I've been diving deep into the world of AI for a year now, and let me tell you – it's a game-changer for us teachers. We're talking a massive 30-40% time saved on grading and admin tasks. That's more time for coffee breaks and actual teaching!

I've been on a quest to find the crème de la crème of AI tools. I'm talking about those all-in-one, Swiss Army knife kind of tools that save you time and keep you from feeling like you're juggling a million things. In this episode, we're going to explore these gems together. They're specially designed for teacher superheroes like you, dealing with the nitty-gritty of curriculum changes, diverse student needs, and, let's be honest, trying to keep your sanity.

By the end of this episode, you'll be all set to integrate three of my favorite tools into your daily teaching & planning routine and hopefully, feel that spark of passion for teaching all over again.

If you are in the throws of Back to School, let me tell you - it's never too late to automate! Last year, I hosted a 3 day free event called the Back to School Automation Bootcamp for Teachers and I got so many requests for another bootcamp. Instead, I thought what better way to help my teacher friends reduce stress and overwhelm this year than to grab it from the archives and let you get in on the fun with the replays!

While this was recorded live and is only Day 1, you can watch the video version as well as grab the FREE resources discussed in Days 1, 2, and 3 by heading over to: http://www.teachingmindbodyandsoul.com/bootcampcatchup

Teachers are busy. One day we’re in a college thinking the rest of our life is planned out; the next we’re juggling fifteen thousand tasks as a teacher. In order for us to accomplish everything we need to do, we’re going to need some energy.

The best way to gain energy is through doing more of what you love. But here’s the conundrum - how do you get more done with less available hours in your day?

That's where a simple yet powerful teacher system comes into play. You need a way to identify those repetitive tasks that eat away at your precious hours and find a solution – whether it's automation, delegation, or elimination.

One of the most underrated ways to automate your classroom is through templates. And no, we're not talking about those generic templates that leave you feeling uninspired. We're talking about game-changing templates that can revolutionize your classroom, streamline your workload, and give you the energy and time you need to do what you love.

In this episode, we’re diving into the third installment of The Simplify & Systemize Series to unlock some unexpected templates to simplify your teaching life. Whether you're looking to create templates for lesson plans, enhance communication with parents, streamline classroom announcements, or even discover templates for aspects of your teaching routine you might not have considered before – we've got you covered!

But this episode is not just about crafting the usual Excel spreadsheet lesson plan templates. No, we're delving deeper, exploring how templates can transform those relentless, seemingly urgent tasks into powerful, repeatable systems. These templates are your key to regaining control over your teaching workflow in unexpected and innovative ways.

By the time we wrap up, you won't just appreciate the power of templates; you'll have a toolbox full of practical tools and strategies to implement them effectively.

As teachers, our To-Do list can get to be a mile long and be a source of serious stress. One of the reasons that teachers are so mentally drained and burned out is because of the overwhelming amount of work we have to do. And it's because you have an incredible mental load that you are carrying—the load that maybe not everyone sees, the anticipation of other people's needs as well as classroom needs and your own needs.

In this episode, we focus on transitioning from the never-ending to-do list to repeatable and automated systems to reclaim your time, energy, and capacity. We'll share three essential steps that will allow you to work within your contract hours and live your best life inside and outside of the classroom without sacrificing effectiveness or efficiency.

From prioritizing tasks to delegating and automating, this episode provides actionable steps to reduce workload and stress levels. So, if you're ready to take control of your teaching experience and find a better work-life balance, this episode is for YOU!

Did you know that 49% of adults self-identify as people-pleasers? If you're anything like most teachers, you may not even realize you are a people pleaser. I know I sure wouldn't have categorized myself as such. People-pleasing tendencies can often go unnoticed, especially when we're passionate about our work, like teaching. We might think that our dedication and willingness to go the extra mile for our students and colleagues are just part of being a dedicated educator.

In this episode, Amy Schamberg dives deeper into her own burnout experience and shares valuable insights on how to identify if you are a people-pleaser and the importance of setting boundaries. She also discusses the power of self-awareness and self-compassion in overcoming burnout and finding fulfillment in your teaching journey.

Amy Schamberg is a mental health and holistic wellness expert with over 13 years of dedicated experience. She is the driving force behind Amy Schamberg Wellness and holds various prominent roles including Licensed School Psychologist at the Ricks Center for Gifted Children at the University of Denver, Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, trainer, speaker, and creator of "The ME TIME Method." Additionally, she has contributed her expertise to the international mindfulness and mental health care company, Headspace.

The demands of modern education can feel like an ever-expanding tree, with branches of stress, anxiety, and exhaustion stretching in all directions. Perhaps you've tried various strategies, self-care routines, or even sought advice from colleagues, and yet, the burnout persists. If this sounds familiar, I have an important revelation for you: it's highly likely that you've been treating the symptoms rather than addressing the true core cause of your burnout.

In this episode, we will dig deep to discuss how teacher burnout is like a tree with branches of stress, anxiety, and exhaustion stretching in all directions, but most importantly how the solutions to your burnout struggles are found in understanding the root reasons behind your exhaustion and overwhelm. We'll dive into the multiple factors that contribute to burnout, emphasizing that it's rarely just one thing causing your stress, anxiety, and burnout. Instead of viewing it as an insurmountable mountain, we'll show you how to break it down into manageable pieces and provide you with a free tool to making lasting change.

Are you a teacher who finds themselves burning the midnight oil, grading papers, and crafting lesson plans long after the school day officially ends? If so, rest assured, you're not alone. In the world of education, it's all too common to unintentionally become the teacher who takes work home, spending precious hours each night immersed in grading or planning. It wasn't in your initial career plans, was it?

Recent statistics reveal a stark reality. Four out of five teachers report that their workload has increased – a fundamental shift in the daily life of educators. Some teachers are grappling with as many as 27 additional hours of work without any increase in pay, which is time taken away from personal lives, hobbies, and well-deserved relaxation.

Imagine having just 30 minutes of planning time each day – it becomes virtually impossible to efficiently handle all your tasks. And what's the consequence of this relentless cycle? It often leads to teachers becoming workaholics.

That's why in this episode, we're here to explore why teachers often become workaholics, how to identify if you're one of them, and most importantly, the actionable steps you can take today to reclaim your work-life balance and reignite your passion for teaching, even amidst rising demands and responsibilities.

Did you know that a study by the National Center for Education Statistics found that teachers who reported having more autonomy in their classrooms tend to experience lower levels of burnout? Isn't it cool how having the freedom to choose your teaching methods and make decisions in your classroom can actually be a super effective way to fight off burnout? 📚✨ It's like your secret weapon for staying energized and excited on your teaching adventure!

But we don't always have that freedom, do we? Many teachers, including myself, have been signed up for professional development that has nothing to do with what I want to learn or what area I want to grow in. The good news is, there are ways to navigate this too. We can seek out additional resources and opportunities for professional development that better fit our needs. Like this podcast or even peer learning through a plaform made for teachers by teachers.

Do you have that one subject that you just cannot stand? Does the mere thought of teaching it make you feel like you're trudging through mud? I get it; every educator has that one subject that seems to defy their teaching magic. But what if I told you that this very subject could be the secret ingredient to reignite your passion for teaching?

That's exactly what we are talking about on today's episode with my good friend, Mona Iehl. She is your go to for everything math, but what you might not know about Mona is that she is a former math avoider. She is also a teacher and instructional coach in Chicago. Her passion for math came when she discovered how to engage every student in a subject she, too, disliked. But how? Through intentionally changing her math class to help students BE mathematicians. Exploration, real world problems, productive struggle, and math discussions made math come alive for Mona and her students. Now Mona shows teachers how to build math culture through rigorous student centered math instruction.

While we'll dive deep into math because that's her specialty, I want you to know that everything we discuss in today's episode is entirely adaptable to any subject that doesn't exactly light your teaching fire. So, get ready to be inspired and empowered to reignite your passion for teaching, no matter the subject!

Odds are you are either a high-achiever, highly sensitive, perfectionistic, people pleasing teacher, or maybe a mix of all of them. Honestly, I see a little bit of each in myself, and let's be real – it can come at a cost. Whether it's our mental health, physical well-being, or even the relationships both in and out of the classroom, something's gotta give. I've been down that road, and it wasn't until I faced burnout head-on that I realized the game-changing potential of setting boundaries.

That's why in this episode, we're jumping headfirst into a topic that's both relevant and transformative. We're going to tackle the four types of teachers who seriously need to kickstart their boundary-setting journey – like, yesterday. I get it, we're all wearing multiple hats as educators, and sometimes it feels like saying "no" is just not an option. But here's the kicker: neglecting our boundaries comes with consequences, and those consequences can lead straight to burnout territory. So, join me as we unravel the why behind boundary-setting, how it's a secret weapon against burnout, and hey, I've even got a couple of tricks up my sleeve – some templated responses and scripts that'll have you setting boundaries with confidence.

Often we think of teacher learning goals as these things that include educational jargon like "rigor" or "learning gap." But if we aren't creating our own professional learning goals, then it's almost pointless.

In this episode, we dive into how Melissa, a teacher just like you (not an influencer or social media teacher) used this podcast to set a professional learning goal to beat the teacher burnout cycle once and for all. As you listen to her story, I'm sure you'll feel a little sense of "Oh, I've been there too" and grab a few ideas to add to your plan to beat burnout this school year. It's a constant process and the process of setting these goals is what leads to reviving that passion for teaching again.

Melissa is a veteran teacher with 20 years experience in the classroom. Out of college, she was hired to teach 4 year old kindergarten in a suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She has been blessed to be able to stay in the same school, grade level and classroom for her entire career. She considers herself to be an ordinary classroom teacher as she does not have any teacher social media presence. Melissa tries to make a difference every day by bringing joy, playfulness and connection to our youngest learners.
