I am ridiculously scared to admit what I’m about to say.
I’ve been an English teacher since I was 19 years old.
In a few days, I’m turning 28, and I’ve realized that I can’t keep doing it anymore.
I gave it everything I had. For almost nine years, teaching English was my profession, my business, my identity, and my way of contributing to the world.
My English school gave me a great life. The Neuro Method of language learning that my father @sergey.andrusenko created helped thousands of people learn English faster and with more enjoyment. My videos were shared across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram because they genuinely helped people.
But the truth is that I burned out.
I pushed myself too hard, worked too much, and eventually had nothing left to give.
For the past year and a half, I haven’t really been teaching. I’ve mostly been training teachers and trying to recover.
Meanwhile, I found myself spending nearly all of my free time studying fitness, yoga, nutrition, self-massage, facial massage, psychology, and the connection between the mind and the body.
Yesterday, I finally made a decision.
I’m starting over.
First, I’m going to study anatomy and become a fitness trainer. Then I want to continue my education in body-oriented therapy and eventually specialize in facial muscles, self-massage, and face fitness.
Honestly, I’m terrified.
I don’t have unlimited savings. I don’t have a perfect plan. And I’m walking away from the one thing I know I’m genuinely good at.
But I can’t force myself to stay in a chapter that is already over.
For the first time in a long time, I feel like this is the most honest thing I’ve posted on Instagram.
So wish me luck.
And if you’ve read this all the way to the end, please tell me:
Why did you start following me?
And what kind of content would you like to see from me next?
I’d genuinely love to know.
Thank you for being here.
