Unhappy Teacher Podcast
Unhappy Teacher isn’t just about school—it’s about rethinking the classroom of life. Hosted by Courtney Sillah, this podcast dives into the universal lessons that shape who we are and challenges us to question what education really means.
How do culture, society, and education collide to influence our biggest challenges and breakthroughs? How do life’s struggles, triumphs, and failures teach us more than any textbook ever could? Each episode takes a hard look at the cracks in the education system while exploring how we can reshape learning to better equip us for the real world.
Through raw, thought-provoking conversations with influencers, entertainers, thought leaders, and everyday people, Unhappy Teacher exposes the flaws of modern education, celebrates unexpected wisdom, and redefines what it means to grow and succeed.
Join us as we UNLEARN, RETHINK, and REBUILD a classroom that prepares us all for life’s greatest lessons. Because the greatest classroom isn’t confined to walls—it’s the one we live in every day.

Episode 13: Why I Left Teaching: Leadership, Grace & Change (with Amberly Evans Ph.D.)
In this episode of Unhappy Teacher, we sit down with a former teacher, academic coach, and now learning and development leader, Amberly Evans, Ph.D., as she shares her powerful journey of leaving the classroom to find balance and purpose. She opens up about the challenges of leadership in schools, why principals don’t truly control their campuses, and how giving grace can transform relationships in education. Together, we explore why the education system feels stuck in its old ways, the refusal to make necessary changes, and the emotional toll that led her to step away from teaching. Tune in for an honest conversation about rethinking education, embracing new roles, and finding peace outside the system.
