In this episode, Jazmyne exposes the hard truth behind the phrase every burned-out teacher says: “I’ll just stay one more year.” She breaks down why staying stuck only deepens exhaustion, delays growth, and costs you opportunities — both emotional and financial. 
✨ You’ll learn:
- Why staying “one more year” makes burnout worse, not better
 - How to stop future-faking your happiness and start taking real action
 - The hidden cost of contracts and misplaced loyalty
 - How to separate your identity from your job title
 - Steps to start marketing your skills while you’re still teaching
 - Why leaving a toxic environment is an act of self-respect and service
 
After listening to this episode, you’ll finally understand why waiting for “next year” only keeps you stuck — and how to choose courage, clarity, and freedom this year instead.
