079: Pretty, Paid, and in Tech: From Teaching to Six-Figure EdTech Sales Careers Panel

About this episode

This episode features former teachers discussing their transition to high-paying EdTech sales careers and the emotional journey involved.

If you're a teacher who feels like your entire identity is wrapped up in your job… this episode is going to hit home. For the first time EVER, you will get to witness teachers who left the classroom for higher paying roles in one setting! This is a real conversation with former teachers who made the leap into EdTech Sales corporate roles and are now living lives they didn’t think were possible while they were in the classroom. They talk honestly about the fear, the grief, the doubt, and what actually changed on the other side. You’ll hear what it really looks like to leave, what they thought they would lose, and what they actually gained. When you listen to this episode, you’ll walk away with: The realization that you can miss teaching and still know it’s not where you belong anymore A clear shift from “this is all I know” to “I have more options than I’ve been told” Permission to want a life that has energy, space, and time for you again The truth that your skills were never the problem… you just haven’t been shown where they fit This isn’t about hating teaching. It’s about being honest about what you want your life to look like now. Are you a burnt out women in education…
