86. Perfectionism, Imposter Syndrome & Never Feeling Like You're Doing Enough!
Sunday, 1 March, 2026
Teaching is an incredibly hard profession, especially in 2026...That feeling like you’re never quite doing enough in school...Being caught between perfectionism and burnout, trying to prove you’re a good teacher every single day...In this episode of The Rewriting Wellbeing Podcast, talk about what we can do to address all of those thoughts and feelings.We look back at the teachers who shaped us, the ones we still remember decades later.We cover the difference between perfectionism and striving for excellence...Why perfection keeps moving the goalposts...And why “good enough” has to be something you define for yourself, before the day defines it for you!We also talk about mistakes...How to handle them without spiralling...And why the ability to say “I got that wrong” without shame is one of the healthiest cultures a school can build!And finally, we go into people pleasing and being a “team player”.How that phrase can become a guilt trip...Why boundaries feel uncomfortable...And how saying no is sometimes the most team minded thing you can do!If you’ve been stuck in that loop of trying harder, overthinking more, and still feeling like it’s not enough, this episode is for you.And if this episode helped, give the podcast a rating, share it with a colleague, and tell us which teacher you still remember, and why!We really hope it helps,- Charlie & Charlie
