Work-life balance…it’s the unicorn we’re all chasing, isn’t it? In this episode, I’m sharing the practical strategies and mindset shifts that have helped me finally keep work at work. From being ruthless about what you grade, setting up overflow days, and maximizing your planning period, to outsourcing tasks and shifting classroom culture, you’ll walk away with realistic habits to lighten your load. Plus, I’ll share simple boundary-setting tools and reframes to protect your mental space, so you can stop carrying school home in your bag—or in your head—and start enjoying more of your life outside the classroom.
