In this conversation, Bailey and I discuss our childhood dreams of becoming teachers and the challenges we faced once getting into the profession. We talk about the importance of raising awareness about the realities of teaching and the impact it has on mental health. We enter the chat on taking medication and hope to reduce the stigma around this topic.   The conversation also touches on our personal journeys with anxiety and some of the self-care practices we adopted to cope with the stress. Overall, we emphasize the need for support and understanding for teachers and the importance of taking care of one's mental well-being.   Takeaways

• Raising awareness about the realities of teaching is important to support and care for teachers.
• Anxiety is a common experience for many teachers, and seeking help and support is crucial.
