For a lot of teachers, syllabi are printed, room decorations are up, and the countdown to the first bell has started. This is usually the week I hear from teachers who are already exhausted and school hasn't even started yet.
Here's the thing nobody tells you in August: the burnout you're bracing for isn't inevitable. It's not a personality flaw, and it's not just "part of the job." It's a pattern and patterns can be interrupted before they set in, not just managed once you're already underwater.
I spent 15 years in education before I became a coach. I know the difference between white knuckling through a school year and actually choosing how you show up in it. That difference doesn't happen by accident. It happens because someone got clear on where their energy was actually going before the year swallowed them whole.
This year doesn't have to be a repeat of last year.
I put together a free Wellness Energy Audit, 10 minutes, no fluff, that shows you exactly where your energy is leaking right now, while there's still time to do something about it before the first bell rings. Comment "AUDIT" and I'll send it your way.
