Summary: I interview Vanessa, who teaches at a special school in Queensland. We have a great conversation about how things shift when returning to work post-maternity leave, why boundary setting is so important and the power of structure and routine (it's just as important for us grown ups as it is for the kids in our classes!). Vanessa's advice is relevant to all teachers, and her practical tips to prevent decision fatigue and prioritise self-care even in busy times are extremely valuable. "Choose 1 non-negotiable and stick to it." Remember to check out patreon.com/selfcareforteachers to help support the podcast.
