The First One
A short first episode - the first steps to leaving and some word vomit after a full day of a really stressful Monday.
Sorry for the crappy audio! I now realize that my headphones and mic are of utterly terrible quality. I will never use them for this purpose again, they have been banished to The Land of Misfit Toys.

Intro Episode
Welcome to Turning Un-Teacher! This podcast is a strictly anonymous account of a 13+ year teacher searching for a brand new career without a CLUE how to do it. I'll be sharing advice from experts, first hand experiences, roadblocks, and ALLLLL the things I can think of. Please visit the #TurningUnteacher Instagram page to ask questions, connect, and interact.
Please remember to support each other, regardless of whether you are content in your current position or not. Be there for one another, lead with kindness, assume positive intent, and search for the good. <3
Also sometimes I curse... as to be expected in an anonymous narrative of a disgruntled teacher. Although I love and appreciate them too, please do not listen around your children.
