I always knew that my reasons for becoming a teacher were rooted in the experiences I faced as a child. It wasn't until I was adulting as an overwhelmed and overworked teacher, mother, and wife that I realized I was a ticking time bomb. I decided to step away from the public school system to revitalize and refocus. Now, I help other educators become balanced by managing life's curveballs intentionally before burning out.
