About this listen

Public education — and caregiving work of any kind — asks for so much. It’s easy to keep giving, telling yourself it’s for the students, the work, the people who need you… until you realize you’re running on empty.

In this episode of Tea with a Taurus, I’m talking honestly about learning to set boundaries in small, steady ways. From stepping back when daily episodes became too much, to recognizing when stress was living in my body, to building gentle self-care routines that actually fit into real life — this is a conversation about protecting your energy without guilt.

We explore:

  • Why boundaries don’t have to be big or dramatic to be effective

  • How burnout can sneak in when caring becomes constant

  • Small, sustainable ways to set boundaries every day

  • Reframing self-care as maintenance, not a reward

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or like you’re giving more than you have — this episode is a reminder that you deserve care too.

Pour yourself a cup of tea and settle in.
