Summary
Today's episode centers on educators who feel like they're drowning in work and struggling with anxiety. I'll walk you through different aspects of teacher anxiety and help you figure out a new way to think about your work, and also help you to think in ways that FINALLY create freedom from anxiety and overwhelm.
When you're feeling anxious, there's nothing better than hearing reassurance from someone who understands what you're going through, validates your feelings, and helps you work through those feelings in a practical, uplifting way. Today's episode will offer a sort of "virtual mentorship," so whenever you're feeling isolated, discouraged, and unsupported you can listen to practical encouragement and reassurance.
