Critics Review

The Empowered Educator is the highly relatable and supportive resource teachers need right now.”

—Amelia Nagoski, DMA, coauthor of Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle



The Empowered Educator made me feel something I haven’t in a long time when it comes to education: hopeful. Jen has a brilliant way of balancing the educator’s needs and emotions with the reality of the job. She approaches tough conversations with just the right amount of compassion and integrity to help you see teaching through a refreshing lens. This is the book that will keep the best teachers in the classroom for longer, because burnout becomes preventable with this book in tow.”

—Laura Petix, MS, OTR/L, CEO of The OT Butterfly and author of The Sensory Code and A Kids Book about Neurodiversity
