The Hannah & Lucy Show | Summer Survival, Teacher Burnout and What Actually MattersAs the school year draws to a close, many educators are running on empty. In this episode of The Hannah & Lucy Show, Hannah and Lucy talk candidly about what it means to actually rest over summer - not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too.This isn’t another “how to be productive during the holidays” episode. It’s a space for reflection, honesty and kindness. They unpack the quiet toll of burnout, the pressure to make the most of time off, and the strange mix of relief and inertia that often shows up in those first days of the break.Together, they explore what it means to:Recover without guiltReflect without turning it into a projectMove slowly without needing a clear planLet summer be summer - even when that feels unfamiliarLucy shares how writing has become a low-stakes way to track thoughts and feelings, while Hannah reflects on why transitions - especially endings - are rarely clean, and why trying to force clarity too soon can backfire.They also speak honestly about the social side of summer: how it feels to go from all-consuming term-time intensity to suddenly having “free time,” and why being alone or disconnected isn’t always the same as being rested.This is a conversation about the soft skills we often push aside. Slowing down. Listening to your own needs. Choosing rest over reinvention. Not because you should - but because you can.Whether you're a teacher, student teacher, or someone who works in education and is feeling wrung out, this episode is for you. It doesn’t offer solutions, it offers space. A reminder that rest isn’t a reward, it’s a right.
