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,

Five Things I Wish I had Known Before Leaving Teaching

When I left the classroom after 14 years, I thought I knew what life after teaching would look like. The reality was very different.
In this episode of The Green Heart Wellbeing Podcast: Life After Teaching, I share five things I wish I’d known before leaving teaching — from the surprise of having too much freedom, to the importance of getting your finances in order, and how isolating it can feel to step away from the staffroom.
I’ll also talk about identity shifts, the patience it takes to grow a new career, and some bonus reflections around wellbeing, grief, and messy progress.
Takeaway for you: What’s one small “seed” you could plant this week that might grow into the life you want beyond teaching?
This podcast is for teachers, ex-teachers, and anyone thinking about a career change who wants to protect their wellbeing, use positive psychology in daily life, and explore what’s possible beyond the classroom.
