Description

Are we all using our last embers just to keep going in our jobs as teachers?

This week on the PiXL Leadership Bookclub, Rachel Johnson is joined by guests to explore Women Who Work Too Much by Tamu Thomas. This is a powerful guide to breaking free from burnout, overwork and the pressure to prove your worth by doing more.

Though written for women, the truths in this book resonate across the profession: educators are carrying an ever-growing load—at work, at home, and in their own heads. They dive into 'talk boundaries', rest, guilt and the belief that we must earn our worth through relentless effort.

If you're tired of feeling stretched thin but still pushing through, this one's for you!

Tune in and ask yourself: what might change if you stopped seeing rest as weakness?
