This is How We Change the Education System

Are you an educator feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or like you’re surviving from one school holiday to the next? Wondering how to stay in this profession you love without sacrificing your wellbeing?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I share from the heart, recording with my newborn snuggled up on my chest, about why emotional intelligence and nervous system regulation are not “nice-to-haves”… but essential tools for educators and school leaders today.

We dive into the real root causes of burnout, why so many teachers feel like they're drowning, and how we can begin shifting school culture from the inside out, without adding more to your already overloaded plate. Whether you’re a teacher, leader, or support staff, you’ll walk away with clarity, validation, and real next steps.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why regulation is the missing link in education reform

• How stress and unresolved trauma show up in the classroom

• What happens when your nervous system leads the way

• Why inner work is non-negotiable for teachers and leaders

• The real impact of emotionally intelligent educators on students

• How to shift your classroom and your life—starting with you

If you're ready to create a ripple effect in your classroom, school and home, this episode is your starting point.
