Healing from Burnout In Higher Ed: A Heart-To-Heart With Two Ex Professors
I’m thrilled to share with you a heartfelt conversation with Danielle De La Mare, PhD, on her podcast, The Self-Compassionate Professor.
Danielle and I are both former professors who’ve left the academy to pursue work that feels more aligned and fulfilling.
Watch a quick snippet here:
On the podcast, I shared my journey from perfectionism, imposter syndrome, intense stress, and difficulty healing to feeling an overall sense of mental and physical well-being. I talked about the importance of knowing your body’s stress response and how when you make time to focus on your physical and mental health — finding ways to feel grounded, getting quality sleep, finding joy, etc. — it makes you better at your job.
