   Breaking Burnout in K-12 featuring Dr. Melissa Sadorf

   What happens when being good at your job becomes the very thing hiding burnout? In this episode of The Rachael Maves Show, Dr. Melissa Sadorf joins Rachael to talk about the reality of wearing multiple hats in education, especially for leaders who are used to carrying it all. They explore how to recognize when a demanding workload has become unsustainable, how to make better decisions about what deserves your attention, and why protecting your capacity is a leadership skill, not a luxury. Listeners will walk away with practical ways to identify their priorities, audit their capacity, set meaningful boundaries, and recognize when it may be time to put down a role that no longer serves them.
