CI teacher burnout is real, messy, and wildly relatable, especially when you’re trying to stay comprehensible while running on caffeine and sheer force of will.

Before you dive in, take the CI Proficiency Quiz and find out your actual CI level (no judgment, promise) at https://imim.us/ciquiz.

In this episode, we’re tackling the emotional chaos of CI burnout with a good dose of humor, some painfully honest teacher confessions, and insights from guests Andy Dykema and Meg Fandel Vernon—because nothing says “we’re struggling together” like talking about the week you almost quit teaching to become a professional barista.

If you need a little lifeline to keep your CI classes running without sacrificing your sanity, check out the CI Survival Kit with Ask-a-Story Slides in Spanish, French, and German at https://imim.us/kit.
