On this podcast, I talk to Becky Krumm, MSW, about stress and why we should care about it, and what to do when you get stuck in that stress cycle as an educator. It's ok to have stress and to be stressed, but the stress needs to be addressed. Becky Krumm, MSW, M.Ed., has nearly two decades of social work experience, holding various positions in child welfare and mental health treatment.  Through her own experience with burnout and secondary traumatic stress, she developed a passion for talking to other helping professionals about the impact of stress and the importance of self-care.  Becky has provided training in stress, trauma, and self-care to over 5,000 professionals, as well as a workshop presenter at the Child Abuse Prevention Conference.Free self-inventory to examine your professional quality of life: https://www.proqol.orgThe National Child Traumatic Stress Network’s information and resources for coping with Secondary Traumatic Stress:https://www.nctsn.org/trauma-informed-care/secondary-traumatic-stressGreg McKeown’s Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Essentialism-Disciplined-Pursuit-Greg-McKeown/dp/0804137382Mindful.org's Guide to starting a mindfulness practice: https://www.mindful.org/meditation/mindfulness-getting-started/National Institute of Mental Health guide: 5 Things You Should Know About Stress: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/stress/19-mh-8109-5-things-stress_142898.pdf
