For school-based professionals, being capable, dependable and always ready to take on the next thing can feel like a strength — but what happens when the pressure to keep it together comes at the expense of your own well-being? In this episode of the Brewing Wellness podcast, Irene Zajac, an integrative health coach and educator, and Mandy Paraponiaris, a 3rd-grade teacher in Brooklyn, explore why those who spend their days caring for and supporting others may be especially vulnerable to burnout. They discuss how to make space for rest without guilt and why making time for yourself can support your resilience and well-being.
