S2 E20 Teach & Tell | Thinking About Leaving Teaching This Year Listen to This First

Leaving teaching is often framed as a dramatic overnight decision. That was never my reality. In this episode, I share the honest, six year journey of how I built a business alongside full time teaching and why I stayed in the classroom long after I could have left financially. I talk through my career from classroom teacher to Head of Science, how a flipped learning CPD accidentally led to a YouTube channel, how tutoring and small income streams added up over time, and why timing mattered more than money when it came to leaving teaching. This is not a quit your job episode. It is a realistic, behind the scenes look at side hustles, multiple income streams, fear, identity, and what it actually takes to create financial and time flexibility as a teacher. If you are interested in one to one coaching to explore side hustles, business ideas, or content strategy, details are linked below. https://www.missestruch.co.uk/coaching
