Burnout is one of the most silent yet destructive realities in language teaching—and too many educators carry it alone. In this episode, we unpack what burnout really looks like for language teachers, why passion often turns into exhaustion, and how systemic pressures quietly erode well-being. This is an honest, research-informed, and deeply human reflection on emotional labor, boundaries, identity, and sustainability in teaching. If you’ve ever felt tired beyond rest, disconnected from your passion, or unsure whether you can keep going, this episode is for you.
