Why I Quit Teaching and What I'm Doing Now 2025 Edit

Описание: In this episode, I take a moment to share a personal story about my decision to leave teaching and the journey that followed. Teaching, especially in a Waldorf school, is a deeply fulfilling experience—but it also comes with its challenges. I reflect on the thoughts that led to my transition, from the pressures of the classroom to the realization that I needed a more sustainable and financially secure path forward.

What You'll Hear in This Episode:

Why I first began questioning my long-term future in teaching.
The impact of the pandemic on my decision.
How financial sustainability and career longevity played a role.

How my experience as a Waldorf teacher translated into my new career.
What I miss most about the classroom—and what I’ve gained.
