😕 Burnout in September? Something’s off.


Hi Reader,

I expect to hear it every fall, but usually it's not until mid to late October.

The fatigue. The questioning. The “I can’t keep doing this.”

But this year? It started in mid-September.

Teachers are burning out faster than ever—and if that’s you, you’re not alone and you’re not imagining it.

In this week’s blog, I’m flipping the script on what it really means for a school to “fail.” (Hint: it’s not test scores.) I’m also proposing a new kind of success metric—one that centers you, the teacher, instead of squeezing you dry.

➔ Read the blog here.

And if you’re craving actual support (not another toxic pep talk), I’ve made the Mindset Module—the first two weeks of my T2E program—free for you this month.
It’s all about burnout recovery and sustainable self-care.

Because maybe the school system’s been failing you for a long time.
And maybe it’s time to stop waiting for it to change.

Best wishes always,
Rachel 🫶

Halloween can be a perfect time to market your private practice teaching and tutoring business.

Hi Reader, I’ve always loved Halloween! The creativity, the costumes, the excuse to eat peanut butter cups by the handful. What's not to love? But as a private practice teacher, I love it even more!
