The guest today is Maria Doyle from mariadoyle.com and we have a fantastic conversation about burnout and the importance of self-care. Remember, to be eligible the Christmas prize draw, go to www.patreon.com/selfcareforteachers
In this episode, I interview Maria about her experiences with burnout, the lessons she learned after suffering multiple organ failure and the power of personal growth. We discuss the way teaching attracts nurturers and carers who just want to serve, but end up over-giving, and the way that approach undermines effectiveness and our ability to serve in the long run. Maria shares how she has moved from being a workaholic and perfectionist to somebody who prioritises self-care and serves from a full cup.
"Being exhausted as a teacher is the status quo."
