Real Teachers Answer Your Biggest Questions About Burnout, Boundaries, and What Actually Helps
Tired of hearing what works in theory? This episode is all about what's actually working, for real teachers, in real classrooms, right now. Kelsey shares a live panel recording from the Summer 2025 event featuring Educate & Rejuvenate Club members who show up and tell it straight: how they've navigated burnout, set boundaries they actually keep, and found their footing again. From 30-year veterans to brand-new teachers, from public school to homeschool, this conversation covers the full spectrum. If you've ever wondered whether any of this stuff actually makes a difference, this episode is your answer.
