The COVID-19 pandemic andThe Great Resignationhave created the perfect storm.

Workers across all industries are demanding better working conditions.

While some of this is in response to COVID-19 concerns, several other factors are at play.

No one should have to endure conditions thatcause high levels of stressthat impact their mental and physical health.

I make more money than ever while working fewer hours, and Im not alone.

From Teacher to Content Creator

I can personally attest to the thankless and grueling teaching profession.

Rebecca Rogers is a former teacher-turned-content-creator who stumbled into this field on accident.

Rogers began her content creator journey as a means to connect with her students during online learning.

The principal at the school where Rogers worked also had a great influence over her departure from teaching.

He often threw teachers like Rogers under the bus for decisions he made himself.

This behavior isnt conducive to a healthy work environment, which Rogers soon figured out.

Her experience withworkplace bullyingisnt an isolated incident, and neither is her departure.

However, in many cases, the damage is already done.

So, she set out to find an opportunity that would help her grow and achieve her goals.

In August 2021, she found the perfect opportunity.
