Wow!!! Thank you so much for sharing your testimony! I can only imagine the decision wasn’t easy. I know the burnout feeling all too well!😂 I’m happy you put yourself first ❤

[@jesicalindor]

@@jesie_l Thank you! 🙏🏾 Yess, it was definitely a tough decision!

[@AngryPug76]

“It’s okay to outgrow a blessing” is the kindest, most gentle way I’ve ever heard someone say “this job isn’t worth it and is actively harmful to me.” As a former teacher who tries very hard to convince every teacher to quit because of how abusive the job is I’m stealing those words.

I’m taking the early retirement of 20 years. I am DONE! I want a new career in a private industry.

[@jesicalindor]

@@Melissa-zw1ft I hear you! It’s never too late to reinvent yourself🤗

[@danzbutrfly]

how can you quit in 20 years and get retirement....as a teacher in Texas you have to meet the 8o year rule.....

[@BriaDelyse]

I am not an educator but I definitely relate to feeling burned out in my career. Thanks for sharing.

[@jesicalindor]

@@BriaDelyse No problem! Yes, burnout is becoming all too common. We gotta put ourselves first 💪🏾

[@MotivationalSpeechWorld]

Today, I want to share a personal journey-why I made the decision to quit teaching. It wasn't an easy choice, but ultimately, it came down to prioritizing my own well-being over the constant battle with burnout. Join me as I delve into the reasons behind this pivotal decision and how it has reshaped my perspective on self-care and life.

[@mzsissoko]

Yes! It feels weird to go from a place of trying to cram a year's worth of living into a summer. Trying to deprogram my brain from that thinking now that I'm not in a school anymore.

[@jesicalindor]

@@mzsissoko Yes! The process of unlearning is a tough one, but definitely worth it!

[@jsanders2004]

Busy Under SATIN'S Yoke. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This cut deep

[@jesicalindor]

Yup! We need to have time for our passions!

What is an Ed Tech job? How does it compare to educational consulting? Where do you find that type of job?

[@jesicalindor]

@@crochetlady83chicachat31 Hi! EdTech is short for Educational Technology. EdTech companies are the software programs that students use in the classroom (I.e. I-Ready, IXL, Brainpop, etc.). A consultant can work at an EdTech company. Lmk if it would be helpful to make a video on this.

[@Authentic-Israelite]

@@jesicalindorplease make a video on your new job and what it entails. Thanks!

[@jesicalindor]

@@Authentic-Israelite Hey! Thanks for watching. I have a new upload scheduled for this week, so I’ll drop it next week🤗

[@jesicalindor]

@@Authentic-Israelite Hey! I just uploaded the video. Check it out🤗

[@Authentic-Israelite]
