This episode features Melissa Allen sharing her story of transitioning out of the classroom after 12 years of teaching.

She discusses the challenges of teaching during the pandemic, which led her to realize it was no longer beneficial for her health and wellbeing.

Melissa now works in edtech, helping schools implement educational programs.

She offers advice for other teachers considering a career change, such as focusing on your strengths and being willing to start over. Martita and Melissa encourage taking care of your mental health and not defining yourself solely by your work as an educator.
