From saying "no" to overwork and under appreciated responsibilities, to discussing the harsh financial realities teachers face, our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Leslie Rob, and Tyler Jackowski are FED UP.

From dodging lunch duty like a ninja to telling yourself it’s OKAY to take a mental health day, our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Leslie Rob, and Tyler Jackowski are FED UP with the everyday struggles of balancing work, life, and sanity.

Leslie, Gabe, and Tyler share their funniest stories about first-year teaching nightmares, side hustles (yes, some of us have to work with our students... as bosses), and the art of avoiding unnecessary extra duties. Plus, we stir some drama on why coaching might not be as glamorous as it sounds and how learning to say “no” can actually make you a better teacher.
