Teaching by Day, Real Estate by Night with Leigh Harris
How does a teacher who once hesitated to enter the profession find purpose, passion, and balance? In this episode, we sit down with Leigh Harris, a Third Grade Teacher at Mallard Creek STEM Academy in North Carolina, to discuss her unexpected journey into teaching, the power of relationships, and the realities of working in a public charter school. Leigh also shares how she’s balanced her teaching career with real estate, her insights on handling difficult classroom situations, and the advice she’d give to new teachers. If you're looking for an honest, inspiring conversation about what it really means to be an educator (or an educator with a side job), this episode is for you!
