024 - Sliding Doors Stories - Part 1

Sliding Doors Moments: From Chocolate to Celebrancy and Safari Dreams 🎙️

Welcome to our first special bonus episode, where we celebrate the incredible "sliding doors" moments from our guests - those life-defining events that remind us why stepping out of the classroom can lead to extraordinary experiences.

This week, we revisit the heartfelt stories of:

• 🍫 Vicky Thurkettle, who shares how her leap from teaching to chocolatier gave her the gift of witnessing her daughter’s miraculous first steps.
• 🏆 James Terry, whose journey to becoming a celebrant has already earned him a national award and a newfound sense of purpose.
• 🐘 Helen Taylor, who swapped the classroom for cabin crew and found herself on a dream safari, witnessing a breathtaking sunrise surrounded by elephants.

Every week, we will bring you more past 'sliding doors' inspiring moments and let them remind you of the magic waiting just beyond the classroom door.
