I love this podcast and I have listened to many insightful conversations since I first discovered the podcast. I resonate with many of the real life stories of being an (overworked) academic. It makes me feel less alone - and inspires a path forward that is gentle and self-compassionate.

I really enjoy this podcast and have heard some great topics and speakers. I will say that many educators, myself included, are not in “burnout” or “career change” mode and so some topics, or the delivery, have resonated more with me than others. It is possible, and even healthy, for educators to...Read full review »
