You’ve been holding it in all year.

The long hours, the invisible work, the constant pressure to stay calm while everything around you feels like it’s unraveling... And now that the school year’s winding down, one question keeps echoing louder than the rest:

“Can I really do this again next year?”

In this deeply personal episode, I’m not here to hand you a checklist or tell you what to do. I’m here as a fellow counselor, walking through the same hard questions- right alongside you.

We’ll talk about:

• The quiet signs it might be time to move on (even if nothing “dramatic” has happened)
• What staying with intention actually looks like
• Why redesigning your role could work- and when it absolutely won’t
• A gut-check framework that helps you make the call without spiraling
• And what to do if you feel like you don’t even have a choice right now

If you’ve ever felt like the only one who’s wondering whether it’s time to go, this episode will remind you: you’re not alone- and you don't have to feel stuck.
