About this listen
School leaders are expected to do it all—solve problems, support everyone, and never drop the ball. But behind that calm exterior, many are struggling with anxiety, burnout, and the unspoken pressure of being “always on.” In this episode of The Energy Bus for Schools Podcast, we shine a light on the hidden weight of leadership and normalize the need for boundaries, breaks, and emotional recovery.
From Facebook threads full of real admin experiences to practical tools you can use tomorrow, this conversation gives you permission to take care of you. Because you can’t drive the bus if you’re running on empty.
You’ll learn:
-
What leadership anxiety looks like in real life
-
How to schedule guilt-free breaks without seeming weak
-
Why modeling self-care is essential for campus culture
-
4 quick tools to reduce stress and lead with energy
This isn’t about stepping back—it’s about showing up better. Because leadership isn’t about being superhuman. It’s about being human… and still showing up with purpose.
Tune in now and take your power back—one mindful breath, one boundary, one break at a time.
