15. From Teacher to Recovery Coach with Rosie Leyva

Most teachers get into education because it’s a passion of theirs that they want to fulfill. However, when burnout occurs, sometimes that passion can lead to other career paths outside the classroom. That stands true for Rosie Leyva, whose passions led her from classroom teacher to recovery coach. My guest on today’s episode, Rosie shares her journey through education and how her various experiences and passions created a different path towards coaching. As teachers, we often feel like our identity revolves around being a teacher. But when you take a step back, you will find that your identity is so much more than your chosen career. Rosie dives into how her core values aligned with the actions she’s taken to become a recovery coach. While most who embark on a career change, it’s the failures and steps towards your new goal or career that provide the most clarity. Rosie has an encouraging story that will inspire you to examine your passions and values to help determine your next season of life. For all links and resources mentioned in this episode, head to the show notes: https://www.educatorforever.com/episode15Watch our free on-demand workshop to learn more about flexible work opportunities beyond the classroom: https://www.educatorforever.com/workshopTake our free quiz to discover your next career step: https://www.educatorforever.com/quizFollow us on Instagram @educatorforever.
