In this episode of Comprehend THIS!, Scott Benedict sits down with guests Tracey Collazos and David Rice to talk honestly about the not-so-magical side of teaching with CI: burnout. From the early mistakes that made it worse, to the boundaries and routines that keep them sane now, Andy and Pat share real-life strategies, encouragement, and a few laughs along the way. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to be “CI perfect” but secretly just wanted a nap, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone — and that sustainability matters more than perfection.
