KEY POINTS

• Your identity can be wrapped in teaching, but it’s never too late to rediscover who you are and find a new path for yourself. 

• So many of us think we’ll be in teaching forever. It’s hard & scary to admit that teaching might not be serving you anymore and your path may look different than you normally thought. 

• Your mindset is the single most important thing in anything in life, whether you want to leave the classroom or not. 

QUOTEABLES 

“The fear is really what stops most people. The fear of the unknown, and the fear of failing. Nobody wants to fail. Nobody wants to be a beginner. Nobody wants to look like they don’t know what they’re doing. But on the other side of that, you rediscover who you are and the person you want to be, and the relationship with yourself is rekindled.”
