The “Always On” Culture of Teaching | Why You’re Burned Out & How to Reclaim Your Time 💻⏰

Description:

📣 Teachers, does this sound familiar?
You’re answering emails at 10 PM. Planning lessons on Sunday. Grading during dinner. Always available. Always exhausted.

Welcome back to The Teachers’ Lounge Podcast, where we speak truth to the pressures teachers face behind the scenes — and today’s episode is one every educator needs to hear.

🎙 In this episode, Rachel pulls back the curtain on the "Always On" culture of teaching — the expectation that educators must be available 24/7 — and offers powerful, research-based strategies to reclaim your time, protect your peace, and model real balance.

💡 What you’ll learn:

The psychological cost of constant availability 📉

How after-hours work leads to burnout, not better teaching

How to set healthy communication boundaries (without feeling guilty)

Simple habits like “delay send” emails, parking lot lists, and end-of-day rituals

How to advocate for your mental health with admin & your community

✨ PLUS: A personal story about setting email boundaries that actually worked — and how it changed everything.

This episode is your permission slip to unplug, breathe, and remember:
📌 You’re a teacher. Not a machine.

👩‍🏫 Perfect for:
K–12 teachers | New teachers | Burned-out educators | Teacher-moms & dads | Teacher coaches | Anyone tired of living at school
