When I left the classroom after 14 years, I thought starting a business would be the natural next step. I imagined freedom, balance, and meaningful work. The reality has been much more of a rollercoaster.

In this episode of The Green Heart Wellbeing Podcast: Life After Teaching, I get honest about the challenges of building a wellbeing business after teaching — from the gap between expectation and reality, to imposter syndrome, to managing the inevitable panic and struggles that come with starting something new.

I’ll also share why, even on the hardest days, this journey still feels worthwhile and why creating something that supports teachers, children, and adults is worth the ups and downs.

This podcast is for teachers, ex-teachers, and anyone considering a career change who wants an authentic look at what life after teaching can really be like.
