My Story of How I Embraced the Mess and Recovered from Teacher Burnout
Manage episode 357707514 series 2989931
Suffering from teacher burnout can be a draining and isolating experience. I have gone through it and understand the painful emotions that come with feeling overwhelmed and defeated by your work. Through my own experiences, I have come to realize that recovery is possible and that you can return to teaching even after taking a break. My interview with Alexis Shepard from The AfroEducator was an opportunity for me to be open about the shame I experienced during my teacher burnout recovery as well as what motivated me to return to teaching twice. In this episode, I discuss the steps teachers can take today in order to move forward in their lives and find a path toward healing from teacher burnout.
