Ever just kinda feel like life goes on with or without you? Oh god, I'm seemingly suddenly directionless and my plans to recreate structure have [somewhat] fallen through. The main goal is mental health. But also to meet my needs financially. OMG what do I dooooo where do I go from here?

This week we discuss the last week of my teaching career, and my experience within the first few days off. Please disregard the complete disorganization!

Moving into the last week of my teaching career, just some random bullshit and feelings...

And some helpful tips. 

I might be losing my shit a little...

A friend told me about this website---> https://www.careershifters.org/

In this episode, we talk about more things that just didn't happen right, and the emotional burden that no one really talks about when you decide to become a teacher. I'll also talk about other instances throughout my career that left me completely and totally dumbfounded.

In this week's episode of Is-This-Real-Life (just kidding) we delve into a messed up week full of unnecessary drama and what to do when you aren't okay (and no one else is, either. )

Here are some resources that I hope you find helpful if you need :-):
