    Wow!!! Thank you so much for sharing your testimony! I can only imagine the decision wasn’t easy. I know the burnout feeling all too well!😂 I’m happy you put yourself first ❤

    “It’s okay to outgrow a blessing” is the kindest, most gentle way I’ve ever heard someone say “this job isn’t worth it and is actively harmful to me.” As a former teacher who tries very hard to convince every teacher to quit because of how abusive the job is I’m stealing those words.
  • @BriaDelyse
    I am not an educator but I definitely relate to feeling burned out in my career. Thanks for sharing.
  • @Melissa-zw1ft
    I’m taking the early retirement of 20 years. I am DONE! I want a new career in a private industry.

    Yes! It feels weird to go from a place of trying to cram a year's worth of living into a summer. Trying to deprogram my brain from that thinking now that I'm not in a school anymore.
  • Today, I want to share a personal journey—why I made the decision to quit teaching. It wasn't an easy choice, but ultimately, it came down to prioritizing my own well-being over the constant battle with burnout. Join me as I delve into the reasons behind this pivotal decision and how it has reshaped my perspective on self-care and life.
  • What is an Ed Tech job? How does it compare to educational consulting? Where do you find that type of job?
