153. Teacher Guilt & Decision Fatigue: The Silent Burnout Triggers
Have you ever walked into the copy room, stood there for a full ten seconds, and genuinely couldn't remember why you came in — and it wasn't even noon?That's not forgetfulness. That's your brain after hours of nonstop, emotionally loaded decisions. And if you're carrying teacher guilt every night on top of that — the voice that says you should be doing more — those two things are quietly feeding each other in a cycle that can grind you down all year long.In this episode, Brittany breaks down two of the most overlooked silent burnout triggers: teacher guilt and decision fatigue. She unpacks what's actually happening in your brain (spoiler: it's neuroscience, not weakness), why these two things fuel each other, and three real-life shifts you can make starting today.You're not broken. You're running a perfectly human brain through an inhuman amount of stress. This episode will help you start making small, intentional choices to take some of that back.👉Join the FREE Resilient Teacher Community on Facebook: http://www.teachingmindbodyandsoul.com/supportsquad📝 Want a FREE personalized step-by-step guide to crushing teacher burnout?

152. Project Based Learning and Teacher Burnout: How PBL Restores Teacher Agency and Joy with Joel Smith
If you have ever felt like you spend more time managing compliance than actually teaching, this conversation is going to hit home.In this episode, I sit down with former educator Joel Smith to unpack what is really driving teacher burnout right now. We dig into fear based compliance, evaluation pressure, stacked cognitive load, and what happens when teachers lose agency in their own classrooms.Joel shares how project based learning can shift the entire classroom experience, not just for students, but for teachers too. When we are trusted as professionals and given room to design authentic learning experiences, something powerful happens. Energy returns. Confidence grows. Joy becomes visible again.And yes, we talk about how to actually start.👉Join the FREE Resilient Teacher Community on Facebook: http://www.teachingmindbodyandsoul.com/supportsquad📝 Want a FREE personalized step-by-step guide to crushing teacher burnout?
