In this episode of the Pretty Rich Teacher podcast, Dr. Jazmyne Dionne opens up about something so many high-achieving women feel but rarely say out loud: timeline heartbreak.

If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “I should be further along by now,” this episode is for you. If you’ve circled birthdays, school years, or New Year’s deadlines on your calendar and felt crushed when life didn’t match the plan — this episode is for you. If you’ve ever scrolled past someone else’s success and thought, “Why not me, yet?” this episode is for you.

Jazmyne shares her own stories of chasing deadlines that didn’t pan out and the heartbreak that comes with it. But she also gives you the reframes you need:

• Why missing your “timeline” isn’t failure — it’s redirection.
• How to focus on building skills, not just chasing dates.
• Simple mindset shifts that will help you breathe easier when the clock doesn’t match your calling.
• Permission to stop hustling for someone else’s version of “on time” and start owning your own pace.

Press play and let this conversation remind you: you are not behind. You’re right on time.
