Coaching the Whole Educator
Coaching the Whole Educator is a podcast for instructional coaches, teacher leaders, and school leaders who want to strengthen their educators’ effectiveness and resilience, especially the ones who need it most. Each week, you’ll hear quick tips, proven strategies, and coaching mindsets designed to keep you on top of your coaching game.
This show is rooted in a human-centered approach, where we get things done through people’s humanity, not around it. Whether you’re new to instructional coaching or a seasoned instructional coach or leader looking for fresh perspective, you’ll learn how to focus on the mindsets and motivations driving unproductive behaviors. By getting to the root of resistance, you’ll discover how to build stronger relationships, lead with clarity, and create lasting impact in your school.

#131: Leading on Empty? How to Stop Burnout Before It Stops You
Feeling burnt out? You’re not alone.
You’re trying to lead, support, coach, and hold it all together—but it’s starting to show. That quiet dread. The blurred lines between work and, well, everything else.
Here’s the thing: burnout doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means the system you’re operating in needs an upgrade.
What if the problem isn’t how much you’re doing... but what you believe about what you have to do?
Listen to this episode with April Little. We’re talking burnout, boundaries, belief systems—and how to actually build something better.
