Money is often one of the biggest concerns for teachers considering leaving the profession. In this episode of The Teacher’s Compass, we dive into the financial side of career transitions—should money be the deciding factor in leaving teaching? I’ll share my own experiences with money mindset, the fears that can hold us back, and practical steps to get your finances in order before making a big career move.

We’ll cover:

  • Why financial fear keeps so many teachers stuck.
  • How to assess your financial situation realistically.
  • Practical ways to prepare financially before leaving.
  • Shifting your money mindset—seeing opportunities beyond the classroom.

  • If you’re feeling financially trapped but dreaming of a new path, this episode will help you gain clarity, confidence, and a plan to move forward.
