How to Stop Teacher Burnout Before It Stops You


Listen Later

Burnout isn’t just being tired—it’s about feeling empty. And most likely, it's something we all face at some point in our career.

In this episode, we discuss the emotional, physical, and mental weight of teacher burnout—especially in the world of special education. From the never-ending paperwork to the emotional energy required just to make it through the day, it’s no wonder so many educators are running on empty.

In this episode, Jennifer shares 5 key “buckets” of real, restorative strategies to help you lighten the load, reconnect with your purpose, and feel like yourself again.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why surface-level self-care doesn’t cut it
  • The difference between reactive and restorative self-care
  • How to build in daily habits that protect your peace
  • What mindset shifts can help reduce stress and perfectionism
  • How to establish healthy professional boundaries (and stick to them!)
  • Ways to build meaningful community and support with other educators
  • Small but powerful forms of self-care you can start today
  • A personal challenge to help you put these tips into action
