She Quit Teaching After Burnout and Built a Life That Fits | Lily Kerbey | #99

Sometimes the stable life is the wrong one.Lily Kerbey is a singer and performer who built a career in a very different way to the one she first imagined.Only a few years ago, Lily was working as a high school music teacher and was completely burnt out. She was mentally and physically unwell, stressed, exhausted, and knew something had to change. Since then, she has left teaching, built her own path in music, and become known for bringing rock and alternative songs into weddings and live shows in a way that feels completely her own.In this episode of The Lonely Chapter, we talk about what burnout actually felt like, why leaving teaching no longer felt optional, and how Lily slowly built a life that fit her better. We also explore imposter syndrome, social media pressure, fulfilment, loneliness, risk, reinvention, and what happens when the thing that makes you different becomes the thing people connect with most.This is a conversation about identity, stress, burnout, career change, creativity and the courage it takes to walk away from a life that looks stable on the outside but feels wrong underneath.Lily’s Links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lilykerbeymusic/Website: https://www.lilykerbeymusic.co.uk/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1YCBUpATdNZrOkwe5xzDJK
