231. Teacher Burnout, Guilt, and Getting Into a New Profession

Raise your hand if you’ve recently felt:


‍ Burnout.


Guilt from even thinking about taking time to
rest (and combat the aforementioned burnout).


Extra guilt about considering changing
professions.





If you said “yes” to all 3, we’re willing to bet you are a
teacher.





Today’s episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business
podcast is dedicated to the teachers in our community. If
that’s you, a giant thank you for your service.





If you’re NOT a teacher, but have felt any of the
following:


You don’t have more to give at your current job

You are stuck in a career because you have poured so much
time, energy, and money into it

You have an obligation to your profession



Then you’ll want to listen, too.


Some of the biggest questions you face when even exploring other
possibilities for your career are “what would I even do?” or “how
would I even start over?”





Exploring these questions can kick up major resistance.





But in this episode, we’re encouraging you to reframe this
exploration. What if your current career isn’t a lifelong
calling?





You have a set of skills. You are never starting
over.





You have so much life left to live. A year, five years, ten
years, is a long time.





And, yes, you deserve better. You deserve more.
