After leading teaching because of some serious burnout, she vowed to build the community she wished existed when she needed it most.

She went from classroom teacher to an educational consultant, instructional designer, and six-figure business owner.

Now, she's here to help you achieve happiness and work-life balance, whether inside or outside the classroom.

Come join our discussion as we talk

about managing teacher burnout, career transitions outside the classroom, starting a side hustle,

and everything in between. Here's your host of the teacher career coach podcast and your new

personal cheerleader, Daphne Gomez. Welcome to the teacher career coach podcast. I'm your host Daphne Gomez. And I want to keep it real with you. I have been having some big spiral moments this month where I feel like I am just failing. I have a lot of responsibilities and things that I want to do for my daughters. I have a lot

of projects with teacher career coach that I'm excited to be working on, people I want to connect with

research that I want to do, emails I want to write, podcasts I want to record. And I, you know, I want to be a better wife,

a better friend, a better family member, better daughter. And I just, everything's been kicking

me in the butt this last month. Right now my kids are, oh gosh, they're so stinking cute.

They're turning two in a couple weeks and i feel

like a train hit me i don't feel like i'm doing a good enough job there's always more that i can be

doing whether it's right now we're doing about two to three hours of physical therapy with my daughter

per day and that's like super

important to me. I also don't feel like I'm present enough when I'm doing that physical

therapy. I want to still be like really interacting with everyone and having moments of joy.

And I want to be going on walks in the park and doing

nice cute stuff with them while they're still really little and just all of this feels impossible

and I feel defeated at times. I feel guilty and I just overall have been feeling sad, big feelings about it. And that's why I wanted to record today's episode. Because I know many of you listening at home feel like you are also probably failing in a way.

Like if you haven't already successfully done this big project, then it's never going to

happen for you.
