I almost quit teaching for good.

It’s true. I loved teaching—until I didn’t. After earning my master’s degree and spending five years in the classroom, burnout hit me hard. I walked away, convinced I was done for good. But after two years freelancing, I realized something was missing—teaching was part of me.

The problem wasn’t the job itself—it was the way I had been doing it.

So, I came back. But this time, I did it differently.

• I made my life the priority

• Set boundaries

• Ditched the guilt

• Found ways to work smarter, not harder.

  Now, I actually love teaching again—and you can, too.
