## Resource

If you're a teacher who started your transition journey, got excited, and then slowly stopped without ever saying the words "I quit" — this episode is going to hit close to home. Because most teachers who give up don't call it giving up. They just stop doing the things that would have gotten them out, build a story around the stopping, and convince themselves they never really wanted to leave in the first place. In this episode, I break down the five real reasons teachers quit their transition journey — not the surface level excuses, but what is actually happening underneath. When you listen to this episode, you'll walk away with: Why burnout is the number one reason teachers never make it out — and why so many of them don't even know they have it The difference between praying for a job and doing the work required to get one What LinkedIn is actually doing to your mindset and how to stop letting it take you out Why your ego might be the thing standing between you and a six figure job offer How to recognize when you are quitting without admitting you are quitting — and what to do instead This is not tough love for the sake of it.
