75 | Is Teaching Still Worth It in 2025? A Real Talk for Tired Teachers

Enjoy Teaching Again | Elementary, Teacher Burnout, Learning Styles, SEL, Classroom Management

In this episode, I get real about the question so many of us are quietly asking: Is teaching still worth it? If you’ve found yourself living for weekends, counting the days until the next vacation, or wondering if you can really do this for another 5, 10, or 15 years… this conversation is for you.

We’ll explore what’s really at the heart of your teaching career, and I’ll share 3 steps from my Reset Framework that will help you go from survival mode to actually enjoying your classroom again — without adding more to your plate.

You deserve to feel good about walking into your classroom every day — and your students deserve the best version of you. So, let's get this conversation going!
