Burnout in teaching is real and if you’ve ever felt constantly exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you’re running on empty, this episode is for you.

In this honest and eye-opening conversation, Ashleigh sits down with burnout coach Filly to unpack what burnout actually looks like in teachers, why it happens so often in our profession, and the practical ways you can start protecting your energy today.

Together, they explore the physical, emotional, and mindset patterns that contribute to burnout and why simply “resting more” often isn’t enough to truly recover.

Filly shares powerful insights about adrenal fatigue, the hidden stress patterns many teachers carry, and the small daily habits that can make a big difference to your wellbeing.

Key Takeaways

• Burnout doesn’t happen overnight.
• Rest isn’t always recovery.
• Your body isn’t working against you.
• Small changes can create powerful shifts.
• Teachers deserve support too.

If you’ve been feeling drained, stretched too thin, or stuck in survival mode at school, this episode will help you understand what your body is telling you, and how to start listening.

Because taking care of yourself as a teacher isn’t selfish. It’s essential.

Rainbows ahead,

Alisha and Ashleigh
