It's Okay to Not Always Love Your Job

Welcome to The Inspired Teacher Podcast! Today, we're tackling a topic that many of us wrestle with—what happens when you don't always love your job? As someone who's spent decades immersed in wrestling, I know firsthand how identity can be tied to our work, and how challenging it can be when that work shifts or disappears. Inspired by a recent episode of The Connection with Marty Moss-Coane, we'll dive into why it's okay to not always love your job, how unrealistic expectations can create unnecessary stress, and what we can do to regulate our emotions when work feels overwhelming. From setting psychological boundaries to avoiding the stress contagion, this episode is all about learning to navigate the ups and downs of work without letting it define us.
