If you're struggling with teacher burnout, I want to tell you you’re not alone. And now with the creator economy, there are so many more opportunities for you to thrive than there were when I quit a decade ago. If you’re thinking of creating a YouTube channel, I’ve got a resource for you to help you get started.

I quit teaching in the middle of my first year. I enrolled in Teach for America after graduating college and was teaching in an inner-city school. I was not adequately prepared for the experience. As a result, I developed serious health issues that landed me in the hospital.
