In this episode, I get real about the question so many of us are quietly asking: Is teaching still worth it? If you’ve found yourself living for weekends, counting the days until the next vacation, or wondering if you can really do this for another 5, 10, or 15 years… this conversation is for you.

We’ll explore what’s really at the heart of your teaching career, and I’ll share 3 steps from my Reset Framework that will help you go from survival mode to actually enjoying your classroom again — without adding more to your plate.

You deserve to feel good about walking into your classroom every day — and your students deserve the best version of you. So, let's get this conversation going!

Mentioned in This Episode:

🎸 If you’re tired of just surviving the school year and wondering if teaching is even worth it anymore, it’s time for a reset — The Classroom Reset.

Think of it like hitting pause, cranking up the volume on your creativity, and walking back into your classroom with a plan that actually makes you want to teach again.
