Pretty Rich Teacher

If you're a teacher who does everything right, shows up for everyone else, and still goes home feeling unhappy, exhausted, or unfulfilled, this episode is for you.In Episode 106 of the Pretty Rich Teacher Podcast, I challenge you to look at the difference between being a “good girl teacher” and becoming a “pretty rich teacher.” This isn't about shaming you for the choices you've made.It's about recognizing how people-pleasing, guilt, and the need for approval can keep you in a life you've already outgrown.You can love education and still want more for yourself. Your teaching degree is not a life sentence, and choosing your happiness doesn't mean you're letting anyone down.When you listen to this episode, you’ll walk away with:A clearer understanding of how the need to be seen as a good teacher can keep you stuck in a career that no longer fulfills you.Permission to want more money, freedom, peace, and happiness without feeling like you have to justify it to everyone.A new perspective on using your teaching experience as a foundation for opportunities beyond the classroom.The confidence to recognize that guilt, fear, and other people's opinions do not have to make your decisions for you.You don't have to figure everything out overnight. Start by being honest about what you want your life to look like, then give yourself permission to explore what's possible.The question is: If nobody praised you for staying and nobody judged you for leaving, what would you want to do next?Ready to learn how to land corporate interviews as a teacher? register for my free live training here, November 21st at 10AM ESTReady for 1:1 mentorship into a six figure edtech career?
