Imagine reaching a breaking point in your career where the daily grind becomes unbearable, and the passion that once fueled you starts to wane. That's the reality many educators face, and it's the very issue we tackle in this episode. Join us on a journey through the heart of educator burnout with the remarkable Jackie Scully, an education reform advocate who brings nearly two decades of experience to our conversation. Her adventurous career, starting with a bold move from Pennsylvania to Hawaii, offers a fresh perspective on embracing diverse educational experiences.

Together, Jackie and I navigate the tumultuous waters of teaching during the pandemic, where virtual and hybrid learning environments have intensified the challenges teachers face. Jackie opens up about her transition from the classroom to advocating for reform, shedding light on the need for environments that genuinely value educators' voices and support a healthy work-life balance. We discuss the therapeutic power of podcasting, which has become a vital outlet for educators to express themselves authentically and challenge the secrecy often present within the educational system.
