#14: A very honest chat about my teaching journey: How burn out, a break, and skipping the country led me to my passion and purpose.
Jun 27, 2024Welcome back to season 2 of The Unteachables Podcast - Woooo freaking hoo!
And I am back with a brand new co-host, my 2 month old daughter Ava. Despite me training her up for 9 months, she didn’t contribute much, but I might just let her stick around.
This episode I go through my journey in teaching, from the rapid growth of my first few years from beginning teacher to middle leadership. To burning out, quitting, and skipping the country. To the eventual progression to senior leadership.
This episode is perfect for anybody who…
- Wants 3 pieces of advice for anybody who is looking to progress through their career and has any desire to move to roles beyond classroom teaching
- The importance of your individual ‘why’ and passion in education
- How getting comfortable with the discomfort shapes you as an educator
- Is burnt out, wants a break, wants to leave teaching, but their heart is torn
