81 | Is Burnout the New Normal for Teachers?

We’ve all been there—grading papers during Sunday football, staying late just to stay afloat, and wondering… is this what being a “good teacher” really means? In this episode, I’m calling out the burnout culture that’s become way too normal in education—and sharing why it doesn’t have to be that way. You'll hear a powerful story from a veteran teacher (Doreen) who went from exhausted to excited again, plus a mindset shift that just might change how you view your work and your worth. If you're feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stuck in a cycle of “just surviving,” this is your sign to pause and reset. ~Elizabeth Mentioned in This Episode: Join the FREE Classroom Reset Challenge (October 21 & 22) https://theinspiredclassroom.com/challenge 💬 Let’s keep this conversation going!
