Feeling like you're constantly running on empty or that everything is falling on your shoulders? You're not alone, and teaching was never meant to be a solo performance.
In this episode of Rainbow Skies for Teachers, we’re sharing five empowering strategies to help reduce teacher overwhelm and protect your well-being. From curating your very own “glam squad” of resources and support to setting realistic priorities and boundaries, this conversation is packed with practical advice to help you stay energised, focused, and passionate about teaching.
Not even Beyonce, TayTay or Lady Gaga run the whole show without a team, so why should you?
We dive into real-life stories, tried-and-tested tips, and small shifts that can make a big difference in your day-to-day. Because let’s be honest, teaching isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what matters most.
Here’s what we cover in this episode:
Build Your Glam Squad – Who’s on your team? We talk about using high-quality teaching tools, AI, and community support to lighten your load.
Stop performing for the To-Do List – How to ditch the endless to-do list and hone in on the top three tasks that really move the needle.
Know when to drop the mic – We’re breaking the myth that rest has to be earned. Spoiler: it doesn’t.
Set boundaries like a headliner - Protect your time so you can protect your passion. Even Beyoncé has a backstage pass list—and guess what? Not everyone gets in.
Play to your strengths - Why sharing responsibilities and leaning on your colleagues is key to staying in love with teaching.
This episode is your reminder that you're not alone and you don’t have to do it all. We’re here cheering you on every step of the way.
Rainbows ahead,
Alisha and Ashleigh
