“I was a teacher for awhile, I loved connecting with kids, when you look a student in the eye and can see them learning it’s the best. I hate to say it but I burnt out so I quit. Preparing 8 classes was too much. I was sacrificing yoga, my family, my friends, I had no time. When I quit I thought I wasn’t following my personal destiny and I was struggling with shame the last couple of years. I went back to a regular cushy 9-5 office job. Now I’ve realized I’m not off course at all because I still am who I am. I still have those same attributes I carried in teaching. Nurturing, caring, supporting. So I was able to see that and forgive myself for giving myself a hard time. Even though I changed my profession it didn’t change who I was.”
