And one day, it just wasn't enough anymore. In Episode 83, Jazmyne sits down with Cassi, a former elementary educator who walked away from a 15-year teaching career and landed an EdTech corporate role. Not because it was easy. Because she stopped waiting for permission to want more. This isn't a feel-good story about following your passion. It's a real conversation about the fears that keep teachers stuck — retirement, benefits, identity, feeling "not qualified enough" — and what it actually takes to move through them. Jazmyne and Cassi breaks down: Why teachers struggle in corporate interviews (and how she fixed it) How she stopped selling herself as a teacher and started positioning as a professional What life actually looks like without the Sunday scaries, the late-night lesson plans, and the emotional weight she didn't realize she was carrying If you've been quietly thinking "I can't do this forever", then this episode is your answer.
