Stop Saying “Someday” + Teacher Career Transition Tips from Knight and Day

Ever notice how “someday” sounds like a plan… until it becomes your excuse?

This week, I’m diving into the utterly bananas spy movie Knight and Day—and pulling out some surprisingly relevant lessons for teachers on the edge of burnout. Between Tom Cruise’s calm chaos and Cameron Diaz’s underestimated genius, there’s a message every teacher-in-transition needs to hear:

If you keep waiting for the right time, you’ll wait forever.

🧭 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

Why “someday” is a career-killing word
What June Havens teaches us about being underestimated and overqualified
How Roy Miller’s “go on three” moment is a metaphor for clarity in chaos
8 red flags to watch for in new jobs (before you jump from one fire into another)
How to use your teacher instincts to make better moves
