About this listen

Is it still education if no one’s learning?

In Bearing a Burden: The Challenges Surrounding the Education System, author and mother Nova James pulls back the curtain on a system that’s quietly failing the very people it’s meant to serve. With a blend of personal stories, classroom insights, and bold, practical ideas, this book asks the hard questions, then dares to offer hopeful answers.

Why are students bored and teachers burnt out? How did curiosity get replaced with compliance? Most importantly, what can we do, right now, to shift the system two degrees at a time?

This isn’t about blame. It’s about balance.

It’s not about revolution. It’s about reconnection.

It’s not about having all the answers, just the courage to ask better questions.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply someone who believes in the power of learning, this book will challenge you to think deeper, lead braver, and reimagine what education could be... if we have the will to rebuild it, together.
