In this episode of Teachers Transitions Podcast, host Alex Kirton sits down with veteran music educator, clinician, and leader Kristin Vogt for a rich conversation about purpose, passion, and growth in education. Kristin shares her unexpected journey from oboe performance and music theory into elementary music education, revealing how she found her true calling in the classroom. With more than 23 years of teaching experience, Kristin offers powerful insight into the importance of quality elementary music instruction, the impact of the Kodály approach, and why “only the best is good enough for a child.” She also reflects on leadership, professional development, presenting at conferences, and what it means to keep growing even when the next door has not opened yet.

Episode 21: Meredith Cooley Veteran Teacher to Freelance Copywriter

🎙 Teachers Transition Podcast – Season 2 From Classroom to Copywriter: Meredith Cooley’s 17-Year Journey to Freedom In this powerful episode of Teachers Transition Podcast, Alex Kirton sits down with Meredith Cooley, a former classroom teacher of 17 years who made the courageous leap from education into entrepreneurship. Meredith shares her honest, behind-the-scenes story of quietly building a freelance copywriting business while still teaching — and how she eventually transitioned into full-time work serving education companies. If you’ve ever felt exhausted, invisible, or unsure whether your skills translate beyond the classroom, this episode is for you. * The emotional and physical toll of teaching — especially during early motherhood * Why the “exit ramp” feeling can start years before you act on it * How Meredith replaced half her salary before making the leap * The power of leveraging classroom experience instead of abandoning it * Why education companies value former teachers * What copywriting for EdTech actually looks like * How to build confidence while starting something new * The mindset shifts teachers must make before transitioning * Why no one will give you permission — and why that matters * The surprising challenges of working for yourself * One small step teachers can take this month to explore what’s next Teachers trust teachers. Your classroom experience is not a liability — it’s a competitive advantage. Permission isn’t coming. If you feel the nudge toward something different, that feeling deserves your attention. You don’t have to burn the bridge. Meredith transitioned strategically — building income slowly, going part-time, and securing retainer clients before leaving fully. Mindset matters. Letting go of guilt, identity attachment, and the “sunk cost” mentality is often harder than learning new skills. There is life beyond the classroom. And sometimes, it begins with simply being curious. Meredith now works as a freelance copywriter serving education and literacy companies. Her projects include: * Blog posts and thought leadership content * Ebooks and long-form guides * Email campaigns * Social media content * Customer success stories and case studies She also created a program designed specifically for teachers called: A step-by-step pathway helping educators: * Build foundational copywriting skills * Develop a portfolio * Leverage classroom expertise * Confidently pitch education companies Meredith is hosting a free masterclass for teachers interested in exploring copywriting.

If you’re listening and feeling the nudge… It doesn’t mean you failed. It doesn’t mean you’re abandoning your calling. It may simply mean you’re growing. There is space beyond the classroom. And you are allowed to explore it. If you’d like, I can also create: * A short episode description (150 words) for Apple/Spotify * 3–5 promotional social posts * A powerful email blast to your list * Or 5 viral clip captions for TikTok/Reels You’re building something important here.
