After a year and a half away, I’m back—and in this episode, I’m sharing why I stepped away from teaching content, and why I’m returning now.

This wasn’t a dramatic exit or a burnout spiral. It was a conscious pause. I talk honestly about the pressures of content creation, perfectionism, time, energy, and the emotional cost of always feeling like you need to be “helpful” or have the right answers—especially as a veteran teacher whose experience doesn’t always match the dominant narratives online. 

I also share what hasn’t changed: my teaching philosophy, my commitment to reflection, and my belief that teaching can be challenging and sustainable at the same time.

This episode sets the tone for what’s ahead—fewer expectations, more honesty, and a lot more respect for capacity. 

If you’ve ever stepped back from something you cared about, or wondered whether it’s possible to come back on your own terms, this episode is for you.
