This hits home for me as a former teacher for 20 years, although entirely abroad in TEFL I can still relate. But for so many others outside of teaching too, especially in challenging work environments.

It’s easy to feel like we have to handle everything ourselves, but there's real strength in asking for help.

Your reflection on becoming a "lone wolf" sounds familiar as well and is a reminder that collaboration and support can lighten the load in ways we often overlook.

Thanks for sharing this!
