Reality Check My Life | Table Talk | S2E11:Teaching Without Draining
If teaching, guiding, or mentoring has been costing you your life force,
something about the model is wrong.
Not you.
In this episode of Table Talk, Gin explores why so many sensitive, embodied teachers burn out — and how wisdom was quietly turned into something to be extracted rather than transmitted.
This conversation reframes teaching as circulation instead of depletion, and offers language for why traditional mentorship models often fail people who carry wisdom somatically, relationally, and energetically.
Inside this episode:
How teaching became an extraction model
Why sensitive and lineage-aware people burn out first
The difference between teaching and transmission
Why mentorship without containment leads to depletion
What healthy teaching structures actually require
How to share wisdom without sacrificing yourself
This episode is for anyone who loves to teach — and wants to keep loving it without disappearing inside the role.
This is Table Talk: conversations about stewardship, where wisdom moves when conditions are right and the source is never consumed.
