#51: Teaching Put Me in the Hospital!
Manage episode 445578183 series 3559629
In this episode of "Classroom to Business," I share a deeply personal story that intertwines my journey with Crohn's disease and my professional life as a classroom teacher. Exactly 14 years ago, what started as a typical teaching day quickly unfolded into a medical emergency, revealing the stark realities of living with Crohn’s disease and the relentless stress of classroom responsibilities. My condition had a profound impact on my life, serving as a catalyst for my eventual transition from teaching into business ownership.
Key Takeaways:
Chronic stress from demanding jobs can act as a trigger for health flare-ups, especially for individuals with pre-existing conditions like Crohn’s disease.
Establishing and respecting personal boundaries is crucial in managing both health and career, particularly in high-pressure environments.
Transitioning from teaching to business ownership requires learning new skills and adopting new mindsets for efficient business management.
Many educators entering the business world unintentionally recreate stressful, unsustainable work patterns instead of seeking a flexible work-life balance.
