How to Know If It’s Time to Leave Teaching: The Burnout Cost You Can’t Ignore
Send us a text
You’re already paying the price - now it’s time to count the cost.
In this episode of Teachers in Transition, Vanessa pulls back the curtain on what it really costs to stay in a job that’s slowly burning you out. From sleepless Sunday nights to surprise pizza party scams, we’re exploring the Three Coins every teacher spends—Time, Money, and Stress—and what it means to start reclaiming them.
You'll hear:
- Why burnout isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a debt you've been paying in silence
- A personal story about how a fundraiser gone wrong exposed the system’s financial gaslighting
- A 30-second end-of-day hack that helps you leave work at work (for real this time)
- A smarter way to think about clarity—without needing a perfect job title to start
- How childhood joy can become career direction, and why 8-year-old you might know more than you think
If you’ve ever wondered what else you can do or whether it’s time to leave, this episode will help you start asking better questions—before burnout makes the decision for you.
