- Best teachers in transition podcast I’ve heard so far!
Thank you, Vanessa, for being a lantern in the dark and a voice for so many of us teachers! Your practical, down to earth, relatable and no nonsense approach is giving me hope that I don’t need to stay in teaching until retirement. So many other options!

I’ve been listening to episodes for over an hour and I’m hooked. Vanessa is reading my mind. This pure, loving affirmation of teacher burnout let me know I am far from alone, and that I am not broken; the system is. And I do not have to sacrifice my soul and mental health for a job that I was set up to fail.
