Are you so exhausted? And could you be heading for burnout?

Have you Googled whether you’re burnt out… or whether you’re just exhausted? Or checked your emails before you even got out of bed this morning?

If so, this video is for you.

Stress in schools is often normalised. We tell ourselves it’s “just part of the job.”But when stress becomes chronic, sustained and unmanaged, it doesn’t make us stronger it makes us unwell.

Right now:
86% of school leaders report being stressed
50% are struggling with insomnia
45% with irritability
37% with tearfulness
41% with concentration difficulties

These aren’t minor issues. They are clear warning signs of unhealthy stress and burnout.

In this video, I explore:
The difference between normal stress and burnout
Why “pushing through” is damaging your body and brain
What “the body keeps the score” really means for school leaders
The early warning signs you might be ignoring
Simple, practical strategies you can use today to interrupt burnout
How to reconnect with your why when you feel cynical, numb or on autopilot
A powerful pause technique to help you show up with intention and energy at work and at home


This isn’t about weakness.
You are not failing.
You are not alone.

This is a systemic issue, and while there are many things we can’t control, there are things we can change starting now.

✨Most importantly, choose one small action today to tell your mind and body that you matter.

Don’t wait for tomorrow.
It won’t be calmer then.
See you in the next video.
