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,

Wellbeing In-House vs Outsourced: Why Expertise Matters

In this episode of The Green Heart Wellbeing Podcast: Life After Teaching, I explore an important question in education today: should wellbeing be developed in-house, or supported by specialist expertise?
Wellbeing has become a familiar word in schools, but effective wellbeing is more than good intentions, theme weeks, or one-off sessions. I reflect on what meaningful wellbeing practice actually involves, why it deserves the same level of care and expertise as other specialist areas, and how schools can think more intentionally about long-term impact.
As always, this episode isn’t about criticism. It’s an invitation to treat wellbeing as a discipline — one that supports children, staff, and school culture in deeper, more sustainable ways.
