## Resource

Teacher burnout isn't weakness — it's disconnection. Michelle Singh shares how teachers can reconnect, set boundaries, and feel fulfilled again. Michelle Singh — National Board Certified Teacher, founder of The Restful Teacher, and CEO of LCT-E Learning Solutions — spent more than 20 years in the classroom and district leadership before her own burnout forced a change. In this honest conversation with Vicki Davis, she offers teachers a path back to the work they love. In this episode, you'll learn: Why teacher disengagement is an "iceberg" with far more below the surface How to serve from fulfillment instead of sacrifice The power of starting with acknowledgement How to build a support team so you're not doing it alone The "clarity audit" — a simple self-reflection tool you can try this week Why writing down small wins carries you through the hard days Full show notes and resources: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e947 Share this episode with a teacher friend who needs the encouragement.
