231. Teacher Burnout, Guilt, and Getting Into a New Profession

Raise your hand if you’ve recently felt: 😮‍💨 Burnout. 😟 Guilt from even thinking about taking time to rest (and combat the aforementioned burnout). 😓 Extra guilt about considering changing professions. If you said “yes” to all 3, we’re willing to bet you are a teacher. Today’s episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast is dedicated to the teachers in our community. If that’s you, a giant thank you for your service. If you’re NOT a teacher, but have felt any of the following: You don’t have more to give at your current jobYou are stuck in a career because you have poured so much time, energy, and money into itYou have an obligation to your profession Then you’ll want to listen, too. Some of the biggest questions you face when even exploring other possibilities for your career are “what would I even do?” or “how would I even start over?” Exploring these questions can kick up major resistance. But in this episode, we’re encouraging you to reframe this exploration. What if your current career isn’t a lifelong calling? You have a set of skills. You are never starting over. You have so much life left to live. A year, five years, ten years, is a long time. And, yes, you deserve better. You deserve more. -------------- Mentioned in the Episode Best Backgrounds and Degrees for Getting Into CopywritingCopywriting Tips for Creating Ideas and Concepts That StickThe Copywriter’s Creativity ProblemSummer Rewind: Ep 15.
