Episode 65: Teaching when your mental health is struggling
Some days, just showing up for class feels like a win. In this episode, we get honest about what it’s like to teach when your mental health is under strain. I’ll talk about the hidden pressure to keep the “teacher mask” on, the surprising lessons I’ve learned from teaching through tough seasons, and practical, gentle strategies to help you get through the day without burning out.
If you’ve ever found yourself running on empty but still wanting to make a difference, you’re not alone.
