Ever feel like juggling multiple preps as a secondary teacher means endless nights and weekends lost to grading and planning?

I’ve been there—teaching at two campuses, building a new program from scratch, and trying not to drown under all the expectations.

In this episode, I’m getting real about the tiny shifts that finally helped me plan for five preps without burning out. I’ll share how I stopped trying to prove myself, started planning around my actual energy, let go of guilt over unfinished tasks, and built sustainable routines that saved my sanity.

If you’re searching for practical time management, burnout prevention, or lesson planning strategies for multiple preps, hit play—you deserve a teaching life you don’t have to recover from!

Too many preps and not enough time? Let’s make your planning period actually work for you.
