Abstract Description : Working in virtual education brings flexibility, but it can also blur the lines between work and life, leading to burnout, isolation, and chronic overwhelm. This Table Talk is a judgment-free space for virtual educators and leaders to come together and talk honestly about what’s hard, what’s helped, and what needs to change. We’ll surface common stressors in remote work, explore realistic strategies for setting boundaries, and share personal and professional systems of support. Come ready to reflect, listen, and walk away with community-driven ideas you can immediately apply to your virtual practice.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify common causes of burnout unique to virtual education and discuss their impact on personal and professional well-being.
  • Explore and exchange practical strategies for setting boundaries and building sustainable support systems in remote work environments.
