Teacher burnout is real… but what happens when the job starts affecting your health, your peace of mind, and your entire life? In this raw and unfiltered episode, we unpack the harsh realities behind teacher burnout. From toxic work environments to extreme parent demands, lack of administrative support, and a system that pushes passionate educators to the edge. You'll hear DeAndre's story of dealing with:

Constant illness triggered by classroom conditions
Overbearing and entitled parent demands
Lack of support from school leadership
The emotional toll of staying vs. walking away
At what point do you stop "pushing through" and start choosing your health?

This conversation goes beyond teaching. It's about knowing when enough is enough, recognizing burnout before it's too late, and having the courage to walk away from something that no longer serves you.

If you've ever felt burned out in your career, undervalued despite giving your best, stuck in a system that won't change, this episode will hit hard.
