The Green Heart Wellbeing Podcast - Life After Teaching
Formerly Diary of an Ex-Teacher: Navigating the World of Wellbeing, this podcast is for teachers, ex-teachers, and anyone ready to put their wellbeing first.
After 14 years in the primary classroom (12 in Dubai), I swapped my whiteboard for a new adventure — growing Green Heart Wellbeing. Now I coach adults and kids, run wellbeing clubs in schools, and work with educators and parents to bring positive psychology into daily life.
Each week, I’ll share real-life reflections, wellbeing tools you can actually use, and behind-the-scenes moments from building my wellbeing business — plus one simple takeaway you can try straight away.
If you’re curious about life after teaching, want to boost your wellbeing, or need a weekly reminder to put yourself first, you’re in the right place.
With a Green Heart,

Leaving Teaching: How Coaching Can Help You Navigate the Transition
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is one of the topics I’m asked about most: leaving teaching.
In this episode of The Green Heart Wellbeing Podcast: Life After Teaching, I talk honestly about what people often underestimate when they consider stepping away from the classroom — the loss of identity, the fear, the decision paralysis, and the practical overwhelm that can come with change.
I also share how coaching can support this transition. Not by telling you what to do, but by helping you slow down, gain clarity, rebuild trust in yourself, and move forward without rushing or burning everything down.
If you’re quietly questioning whether teaching is still right for you, this episode offers reflection, reassurance, and a calmer way of thinking about what comes next.
