What if a simple shift in mindset could transform your teaching career and restore peace to your life? Join me, Melissa Lefort, as I unravel the profound impact of self-compassion in tackling educator burnout, a subject close to my heart. On this journey, I’m accompanied by Amy Schamberg, who brings her invaluable experience as a former school psychologist and certified functional medicine health coach. Together, we address the common misconceptions surrounding self-compassion, distinguishing it from self-indulgence, and exploring how genuine self-care can serve as a lifeline for those overwhelmed by stress and criticism.

See our blog for a breakdown of Amy's steps!
