When Work Stress Follows You Home | Black Educator Wellness, Emotional Burnout & Family Impact
What happens when the version of you that walks through the front door is unrecognizable—even to your own family? In this powerful and emotional clip from The Exit Interview: A Podcast for Black Educators, we dive deep into the unseen toll of emotional burnout, compassion fatigue, and workplace stress that many Black educators carry home.
You’ll hear a raw reflection from a former educator who began noticing how his emotional exhaustion affected his relationship with his spouse and children. This story isn’t just about burnout—it’s about identity, healing, and the quiet ways we lose parts of ourselves in toxic work environments.
If you’re a Black teacher, school leader, or educator struggling with work-life balance, emotional regulation, or navigating trauma from oppressive school systems, this conversation is a must-watch.
✨ Topics covered: Black educator burnout, emotional labor, racial battle fatigue, healing justice, mental health, and Black fatherhood.
