In this episode, I’m joined by special guest Caitlin Smith, the creator of How to Get Away With Teaching. Now more than ever, teachers are wondering how they can thrive and create sustainability in a profession that demands more in the midst of shortages, unprecedented events, and toxic work cultures. Caitlin has some incredible insights into self-care for teachers and why it is critical for educators to prioritize themselves - whether that means setting boundaries, developing new systems, or evaluating if their current role is still the best fit. During our conversation, Caitlin and I discuss burnout, how teachers can become complicit in their own overwhelm, and the action you start taking today to “Get away with teaching”…and come out whole on the other side.
