When you train to become a teacher, you become accustomed to the intense workload and hours. Once you qualify, those habits that helped you to survive your teacher training can remain with you although they no longer serve you. You may find yourself overworking, overcompensating and spending all of your time and energy in teaching. It can feel like a never ending treadmill.

What you will learn in this episode:

• How you came to be on the teacher treadmill in the first place

• The risks to you by staying on the teacher treadmill
