Welcome to my summer 2023 replay series! This summer, I'm re-releasing some of my favourite ever podcast episodes that I think are well worth a re-listen.

This episode was first released as the second episode in season 1, waaaaay back in April 2021! My life has changed enormously since then, and even more so from when I was suffering from burnout, but I still think it is hugely relevant for all teachers, especially as it feels like teaching has become even harder since 2021, and certainly since 2017, when I left the classroom.

I was quite nervous about releasing this episode the first time round but I wanted to be as open and candid as possible about why I ended up burning out, and to share some of the things I did to help me recover. From getting outside and moving, to meditation, gratitude and setting boundaries, these are things I still try to incorporate into my daily life now, to keep my mental health on track and make sure I never get back to that place of burnout ever again.

If you're finding teaching overwhelming and tough right now, have a listen to this episode and let me know what you think! Does it resonate with you? Is it helpful to hear from someone who has been through it and come out the other side?

As always, let me know your thoughts on the socials - I'm @katelanguages on Facebook and Instagram or email me through my website katelanguages.co.uk
