In this powerful episode, we sit down with Kelsey Sorenson, a teacher, homeschool mama, certified life coach and author, to dive deep into the issue of teacher burnout. With educators leaving the profession at an alarming rate, we explore what's driving this exodus and how teachers can protect their well-being.

A recent Gallup panel shared that 44% of teachers said they are “always” or “almost always” burned out, outpacing all other professions. Perhaps a more shocking statistic than this is most teachers are surprised this statistic isn’t higher!

Kelsey shares everything she has learned about teacher burnout and how to stop ourselves getting to that place before it actually happens. And here’s a hint… it starts with self-compassion and curiosity.

Throughout this conversation we talk about:

• The burnout crisis in education
• Factors contributing to the current burnout epidemic 
• Common patterns in burned-out teachers
• How to become an observer
• Self-advocacy for teachers

We need more of Kelsey’s message in the world for teachers. It is time to educate and rejuvenate ourselves to start to reverse the trend of teachers burning out. 

If you know a teacher that is going through any of the things we talked about in this episode, please share it with them - we need to keep our amazing teachers in classrooms. 

Rainbows ahead,

Ashleigh and Alisha
