The burden of teaching is heavier than ever. We’re here to help.

The Struggle Inside of You

The problems outside of you are real. Teachers are burned out, stressed out, and leaving the profession at an unprecedented rate.

Do any of these comments from teachers sound like you?

  • “I shouldn’t be struggling this much.”

  • “I used to love this job. What happened?”

  • “I can’t help my students. Heck! I can’t help myself.”

  • “Have kids always been this difficult?”

  • “Have parents always been this difficult?”

  • “Something needs to change, but I don’t know where to start.”

  • “The whole system is broken!”

  • “I need a raise…”

  • “Do I actually hate my students?”

  • “Where is God in all of this? Lord help me.”

  • “Is it Friday yet?”

  • “I need a drink…”

The Problem Outside of You

Education, as a profession, is beyond difficult. More is being asked of educators than ever before. And the stakes are higher than ever before.

Educators today face:

  • Chronic fatigue or burnout from the relentless pace of school life.

  • Increasingly complex classroom issues (behavior, trauma, disengagement, AI).

  • School initiatives and expectations that keep shifting (curriculum, rosters, schedules, assessments).

  • Limited or inconsistent support from administration or colleagues.

  • Unsatisfactory salaries.

  • Shifting societal perspectives on teaching/teachers.

  • Constant pressure to “be okay” for everyone else.

The Stakes Are High, But Support Exists

Continuing to push through alone leads to deeper exhaustion, relational strain, and a growing distance between calling and capacity.

- The job becomes purely survival.

- Classroom challenges feel heavier, not lighter.

- Burnout begins to affect life outside of school.

- Resentment grows.

- The passion that once fueled you fades.
