Teachers are no strangers to stress — but when stress turns into burnout, it can impact your health, happiness, and even your students. In this episode of the Teacher Mindset Podcast, I talk with psychologist and educator Dr. Albert Bramante about breaking free from burnout, setting healthier boundaries, and stopping the cycle of self-sabotage.

You’ll hear:

• The subtle warning signs of burnout you might be missing

• Why setting boundaries isn’t selfish, it’s essential

• How fear of success can quietly hold you back

• Strategies to stop self-sabotage before it takes over
