The Burned Out B: Dear Teachers
The podcast for educators who are done being gaslit by a system that runs on guilt, glitter, and unpaid labor.
Hosted by Nicole—a former classroom teacher, curriculum designer, healer, and lifelong loudmouth with a soft spot for the overworked—Burned Out B is your weekly permission slip to tell the truth, feel the rage, and start healing.
This is not professional development.
This is personal resurrection.
We talk burnout, nervous system collapse, institutional gaslighting, “toxic positivity,” and the spiritual cost of being the one who always shows up. You’ll laugh. You might cry. You’ll definitely stop blaming yourself.
Because you were never supposed to burn out.
And it’s time we stopped pretending otherwise.

The Burned Out B: Dear Teachers
The Gaslighting Is Coming From Inside The Building
Ever wondered why you feel like you're the problem when the system is clearly broken? In this episode, we name the mind games for what they are: gaslighting. And not just from politicians or policy—it's coming from inside your own school building. From the PDs that praise your resilience while piling on more work… to the wellness checklists that tell you to take a walk instead of lowering your caseload.
We break down how to spot institutional gaslighting, how it hijacks your nervous system, and why it’s not your fault if you bought the lie. Plus, I share how we start waking up: through tools like EFT, nervous system support, and naming BS out loud so it doesn’t sneak into our self-worth.
Spoiler alert: You don’t need another checklist. You need truth.
Thanks for listening!
