Listen Later

Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and just overall struggling with burnout, this episode is for you. The truth is burnout isn’t just about stress or workload, but it's actually rooted in disconnection. If you've been trying all the right things like holding boundaries and prioritizing self-care, but you’re still feeling like something's missing, this might just be it.

As teachers, we know firsthand the importance of creating strong, meaningful relationships in the workplace but building those connections isn’t always easy.  In this episode, I’m diving into how challenging it can be to form adult friendships. I’m breaking down how proximity, timing, and energy are all key to building true friendships, as well as sharing practical steps to expand your circle and evaluate your school culture. Don’t miss the practical tips for finding your community, even in difficult environments, to help you combat burnout.
