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,

The Green Heart Wellbeing Podcast - Life After Teaching
What Wellbeing In Schools Is NOT...
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When schools say they’re “doing wellbeing,” it too often means donuts in the staffroom, a yoga day, or a mindfulness app. Lovely gestures meant with kindess, but they don’t fix burnout.
In this episode of The Green Heart Wellbeing Podcast: Life After Teaching, I explore why surface-level wellbeing isn’t enough, and share what meaningful wellbeing looks like when it’s embedded in school culture. From strategy and teacher voice, to leadership modelling, consistency, and measurement — this is about moving from token gestures to real impact.
I also share how my own work with Green Heart Wellbeing clubs and coaching builds lasting skills in resilience, emotional literacy, and confidence — the foundations of true wellbeing for both staff and students.
This podcast is for teachers, ex-teachers, and school leaders who want to move beyond quick fixes and create environments where everyone can thrive.
