001: From "Numb" to New Beginnings: My Journey Beyond Teaching

Welcome to Lessons in Change, the podcast for teachers who are considering taking the next step in their lives beyond the classroom.  In this first episode of Lessons in Change, Katie shares her personal journey from burnout in teaching to finding purpose beyond the classroom. She reflects on the early warning signs, from the intense demands of her first teaching role to the growing sense of resentment as she lost touch with her true self. Katie opens up about her turning points, including a key moment of clarity during lockdown, and the decision to pursue a more fulfilling path outside education. It’s a heartfelt look at a common struggle—and a reminder that the laminator doesn’t own you!
