Confessions of a PYP TeacherAuthor: Lu Gerlach
This podcast is for any teacher who is seeking for ways to enrich the learning in their classroom without breaking the bank. We will explore the simple steps on how to turn the traditional learning experience into one founded on practices of the PYP in 10 to 20 minute episodes. The PYP is part of the International Baccalaureate program, which focuses on developing the whole child by allowing students to create their own meaning from learning. If youre not a PYP teacher, dont worry. Well be sharing ideas that can be applied to your learning setting, because good practice can be used anywhere. https://thinkchat2020.weebly.com/podcast Language: en-us Genres: Courses, Education, Self-Improvement Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

C160: Stress Overload
Episode 160
Tuesday, 11 November, 2025
Send us a textWelcome back to Confessions of a PYP Teacher and the ninth episode in our well-being series. So far, we’ve looked at fear, worry, panic, and anxiety. These are internal experiences of threat; the ways our mind and body respond when we anticipate danger, whether real or imagined. They’re signals that the nervous system is on high alert, scanning for what could go wrong.But there’s another side to mental health and well-being. Instead of being driven by inner threat signals, it’s shaped by the demands placed on us from the outside. This is where overload and stress come in. When the pressures of life and work outweigh the resources we have to cope, the system tips over. At first, this feels like everyday stress. But over time, if it doesn’t let up, it can spiral into two very different outcomes: burnout, being drained by too much or boreout, being drained by too little meaning or creativity. Both wear down our sense of ownership over our lives.Let's take a moment to unpack stress overload and how it can impact your well-being.For a written blog post and other resources, visit: https://thinkchat2020.comThanks for listening!
