What Toxic Schools Do to Teachers: Mind, Body & Heart

In Part 3, we’re shifting the focus to you:  your health, your emotions, your identity as a teacher.


 Toxic schools don’t just make work hard. They seep into your body, your confidence, and your self-worth.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Physical burnout & chronic stress: headaches, insomnia, anxiety, and the Sunday dread
  • Self-doubt & feeling unappreciated: how toxic systems make great teachers feel “not enough”
  • Emotional fatigue & moral injury: carrying the weight of a broken system while trying to care for kids

This episode is a giant exhale.

 If you’ve been feeling tired in ways you can’t explain… this one will make you feel seen.
