Ever caught yourself in that late-night teacher's trance, just you and the ceiling after a long day, wondering why your tank feels empty? 🤔 If you're nodding along, know that you're in good company. Teacher burnout has this sneaky way of creeping up on us, even when we're pouring our hearts into what we love. It's like one minute you're on fire, full of passion, and the next, you're questioning if all the effort is worth it. But here's a little secret: burnout doesn't discriminate. It can hit us even when we're in the midst of our teaching passion. So, what's up with that? 🧠 In today's episode, we're diving deep into our brains during burnout. Why do our brains trick us into feeling all doom and gloom? How do our internal chemical cocktails—dopamine and epinephrine—play into our feelings of fulfillment and motivation (or the lack thereof)? And the real kicker: how can we, as dedicated educators, hack our brain's reward system to reignite that teaching spark? This isn't your average pep talk. It's a science-backed, actionable guide to flipping the script on burnout. From setting micro-goals that make us feel like champions 🏆 to finding joy in the little wins that keep our teaching flame alive, we're here to unpack how to make teaching sustainable and joyful again.
