Educator burnout isn’t just an individual struggle—it’s a global public health crisis. Season 2 of Taught shifts the focus from personal stories to evidence-based strategies, exploring how to prevent burnout, strengthen educator well-being, and build healthier school systems.

In this trailer, new host Amy Schamberg—a school psychologist, board-certified health and wellness coach, and Total Worker Health® specialist—introduces a bold new direction for the podcast: from burnout stories to systemic solutions. With over 15 years in public education and mental health, Amy highlights why burnout is not a personal failing but a predictable outcome of broken systems. This season lays the foundation for rethinking workplace wellness in schools, spotlighting strategies that prioritize staff health, student outcomes, and organizational sustainability. If you’re ready to move beyond surface-level fixes and tackle the root causes of burnout in education, this podcast is for you.
