You used to walk into your classroom with excitement, creativity, and a deep sense of purpose. But now, you’re running on empty — the spark is gone, and you’re not sure if it will ever come back. Teaching feels more like a burden than a calling, and you’re wondering if you’ve lost your love for the work completely.

Your evenings are filled with grading, your weekends disappear into lesson planning, and your mind never really leaves the classroom. You’re trying to be everything to everyone—but it’s costing you your health, your peace, and your personal life. Balance feels like a distant dream.

You’ve poured everything into teaching, but now it feels like something is shifting. You’re wondering if this season is coming to a close, but you feel guilt, fear, or confusion about what comes next. You don’t want to make a rash decision, but you also don’t want to stay stuck in a role that no longer fits.
