In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s crucial but often overlooked in music education—mental health. We’re joined by Meg Duke, a licensed clinical social worker and mental health professional who brings a wealth of knowledge (and a lot of heart) to the conversation.
We talk about practical ways music educators can take care of their mental health, how to spot signs of burnout before it spirals, and small habits that can make a big impact in managing stress and staying grounded. Whether you’re in your first year or your fifteenth, this conversation is a reminder that taking care of yourself is not a luxury—it’s essential.
Tune in for strategies, real talk, and a bit of humor too. You’re not alone, and you deserve to feel supported.
