"In this book, Maria shares her journey away from emotional burnout as a teacher in a traditional classroom and then -- online. She looks into the concept of emotional burnout, how it comes about and where it is rooted. Each chapter gives you an easily identifiable story, an insight into the problem and some simple but really empowering strategies. Maria's own vulnerability and openness make each chapter relatable, and her lessons -- practical and actionable.
She integrates her own lessons from her practice of mindfulness, yoga and language learning to get to the core of our burnout problem -- our insecurities, low trust in our own expertise and our fear of releasing control, among many others. This is one book I wish I had read when my teaching career was punctuated by burnouts. I'm glad that Maria's work is in your hands today. It's so freeing to get permission to do things differently, more sustainably and retain your passion for teaching and learning. Here's to a new path of teaching without burnouts." Elena Mutonono
