0:00.0	Welcome to No One Told Us, the podcast that tells the truth about parenting and talks about all the stuff that you wish you knew before having kids.
0:10.6	I'm your host, Rachel, and today I'm speaking with Ariel Fodor, but most people know her as Mrs. Frazzled.
0:17.1	She was a theater and dance teacher for almost a decade before she got her teaching credential in 2018 and has four years of experience with teaching kindergarten and third grade.
0:25.6	But she's currently on a teaching hiatus while she takes care of her two little ones and works from home full time.
0:31.6	Ariel started making TikTok videos in 2020 as a way to connect with other teachers. And then when the pandemic shook up the world of

1:33.0	public school? Oh my gosh. Yes. The questions are never ending. So I'm excited to hear your perspective
1:39.0	too. And you're also another California girl. I feel like we have so much in common. So first, I just kind of want to know, like, what originally made you leave education?
1:50.1	Like, did you just feel burnt out?
1:51.9	Was it COVID?
1:52.7	Was it your babies, all of the above?
1:55.4	It was really just my babies.
