Burned Out but Not Broken: A Realistic Path to Teacher Wellness
A compassionate, no-fluff guide to healing burnout, setting boundaries, and reclaiming your peace in (and out of) the classroom.
If you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and running on fumes as an educator, you're not alone—and you're not failing. You're likely just overworked in a system that rarely stops to ask how you are doing.
Burned Out but Not Broken is a powerful, practical guide written for teachers by someone who understands the pressure, perfectionism, and emotional weight of the job. This isn't another "self-care" book filled with unrealistic advice. It's a real talk survival guide designed to help you:
✅ Recognize the warning signs of burnout before they take over
✅ Set boundaries without guilt—with students, parents, and administrators
✅ Stop over-functioning and start protecting your peace
✅ Manage your energy instead of just your time
✅ Use simple rituals, rest strategies, and reflection tools to recover joy and clarity
✅ Reconnect to your purpose—or redefine what it looks like on your terms
Each chapter blends empathetic storytelling, bite-sized mindset shifts, and practical tools you can use immediately—whether you're in your first year or your fifteenth.
Inside, you'll find:
You can be a great teacher without losing yourself.
It's time to protect your peace and find a new way forward—one that honors your humanity as much as your calling.
