155. Why Teacher Burnout Makes You Put Your Life on Hold

Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'll do it after this school year" or "We'll take that trip next summer"?Teacher burnout doesn't just leave us exhausted. It quietly convinces us that our lives can wait. We postpone the vacations, the hobbies, the dinners with friends, and the moments with the people we love because we're waiting for the perfect time. But what if that time never comes?In this episode, I'm sharing the unexpected lesson I learned from a family trip to Yellowstone that I almost didn't take. It wasn't the breathtaking views that changed me. It was realizing how easily burnout had convinced me to postpone living.
