Have you ever stood at the crossroads of your career, the weight of decision pressing down on you like a heavy fog? My wife, Shakira Williams, and I know that fork in the road all too well. Together, we take you through the emotionally charged journey of stepping back from roles that once defined us, sharing our personal narratives from the worlds of education and social work. In a space where passion meets exhaustion, we bare our struggles with burnout, the search for impact, and the haunting sense of inadequacy that can lead to the hardest of choices: to leave or not to leave.

Within the heart of our discussion lie the stories that shaped our professional lives, the ones that still have the power to stir us. Shakira brings to the table the unique challenges that come with the territory of social work, while I offer my insights from the trenches of education.
