EP: 4 Double whammy- navigating teacher burnout alongside dramas at home

In this episode, I open up about my own journey through tough times, like going through a divorce and dealing with the emotional rollercoaster it brings. I share moments when I felt overwhelmed, stuck in grief, and struggling to balance my personal life with my responsibilities as a teacher. 

Through my experiences, I shine a light on the common challenges teachers face when dealing with personal struggles while still trying to be professional in the classroom. I talk about how these difficulties can lead to burnout and stress, and I stress the importance of recognizing when we need help and reaching out to others for support. 

Plus, I offer practical tips for both noticing signs of distress in our colleagues and offering them the support they need. Ultimately, I want to show that by being there for each other, we can help prevent burnout and create a more supportive environment in our schools.
