What do teachers wish they knew their first year? In this episode of Rise to Freedom, I break down the hard truths and lessons that every educator needs to hear. From setting boundaries and avoiding burnout to the mental and emotional toll of teaching, we’re getting real about what it takes to survive and thrive in education.

Whether you’re a new teacher, experienced educator, or passionate about education reform, this episode is for you. Plus, learn how you can share your own story in the Resilient Educator Anthology—a book by teachers, for teachers.
