In Part 2 of my conversation with Filipa Bellette, we dive deeper into the challenges teachers face and how to overcome burnout. We discuss the importance of listening to your body's signals, addressing root causes, and finding strategies to thrive in the classroom. If you're a teacher struggling with your wellbeing, this episode is full of practical wisdom and encouragement.
Episode Highlights:
- Filipa's vulnerability in sharing her personal struggles as a teacher, even with her own husband, and how that led to positive changes
- The difference between "running away" from teaching versus making a conscious decision that it's no longer the right fit
- How Filipa's body was trying to tell her something was off, through symptoms like neck pain and constant crying, that she initially ignored
- The importance of not just addressing surface-level lifestyle factors, but going deeper to reprogram beliefs and heal emotional/physical imbalances
- Practical tips like using classroom routines to build in more water intake
- The interconnectedness of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing, and why it's crucial for teachers to listen to all the signs
