Drawing on her own journey and her book Teach, Lead or Leave, Jenny unpacks why so many educators feel stuck, the guilt that surrounds leaving, and how to tell the difference between a tough season and a role that no longer fits. We explore her Energy–Impact Matrix and the six possible pathways beyond “stay or go,” offering practical, values-led guidance for educators who want sustainable careers they can truly enjoy.
