About this listen

This is not a manual. It’s a quiet act of rebellion.

Letters to a Young Teacher is a poetic and piercing exchange between two educators — a seasoned guide and a young teacher navigating burnout, grief, and the quiet longing to feel again.

What begins as an honest back-and-forth becomes a reckoning with perfectionism, a gentle rebellion against performative strength, and a soft return to joy.

These letters don’t preach. They breathe. They carry tools that don’t demand, stories that regulate the body, and language that grants permission — to rest, to feel again, to reclaim wonder.

For anyone who leads while still learning to stand.

Paul O’Neill is the author of Back into Delight and the Neuro-Resilience Skills series, helping leaders stay clear, calm, and connected — so their teams can move as one.

Francinne Kaye Gacilo is an educator and coach who brings the heart of a teacher to every role — from classroom care to digital transformation.
