Episode Synopsis

Send us a textThis week on Nurturing Educators, we’re mixing things up! Instead of me hosting, my dear friend Catie takes over the mic and interviews me about my journey as a teacher, the struggles I’ve faced with burnout, and how I’ve found a new path in health coaching. As we celebrate Mental Health Week at school, I thought it was the perfect time to open up and share my personal story with you. From starting out as a PE teacher to discovering a love for teaching Spanish to reaching breaking point with stress, and finally finding balance and renewed purpose through health coaching — this conversation goes deep into the highs, lows, and lessons learnt along the way. Together, Catie and I talk about: What inspired me to become a teacher and how my career has evolvedThe challenges of burnout and how it impacted my well-beingThe small, practical lifestyle changes that helped me feel betterWhy I’ve launched Nurturing Educators to support teachers everywhereMy vision for creating a safe, supportive community where educators can thriveThis is also a special episode because it’s the finale of Season One. I’ll be taking a break to connect with more inspiring teachers and prepare a fresh season full of conversations, insights, and strategies to help you thrive in teaching and in life. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey so far. Your support, listens, and feedback mean the world. I can’t wait to return with Season Two, but for now, I hope my story offers encouragement and a reminder that even small steps can make a big difference. If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with your fellow educators. Let’s keep the conversation going. Hosted by Debbie RossFind us on Instagram & Facebook: @nurturingeducators For more information, guest recommendations, and sponsorship opportunities or to chat, please email: [email protected] or visit www.nurturingeducators.co.nz Thanks for listening!
