 Are you looking to improve your overall wellbeing? Are you planning to change careers but keep saying you'll give it one more year? This podcast might be worth a listen! 

Having taught in the primary classroom for 14 years (12 of them in Dubai) it was time for a career change. Improving wellbeing provision beyond the classroom is what my soul was screaming at me to do. So, I jumped! 

Now, I'm a wellbeing coach and an education consultant who works from a wellbeing centre in Dubai called The Free Spirit Collective. Join me as I navigate conversations around career change, improving wellbeing, coaching, positive psychology and wellbeing in education.

In each episode I'll share things I've journalled about that week - the good, bad and the ugly! I'll also focus on one wellbeing theme for a bit - you can see if this fits into your life. Hopefully, you will hear something that resonates when thinking about being well or giving your life a bit of a shake up.

101 - FEELING THE FREEDOM - At the Start of the Academic Year

Aug 26 2024 19 mins  
Send us a text These episodes are waaaay more unstructured than the first series. Perhaps, that is because now that I'm not teaching, my life isn't timetabled to the n'th degree! But, it has taken some getting used to... This episode focuses on chat about mentoring vs. coaching, some reflections on the start of the academic year and which steps I've taken towards starting my own bu

Jan 14 2023 19 mins  
Send us a text If you live in the UAE, contract time is looming. Schools are awash with whispers of 'Who will stay? Who will go?' as teachers pass each other in corridors and grab a mere moment of adult conversation. In all seriousness, many people would love to try something new but, the reality is, that monthly salary is what keeps us surviving. What would you do if money wasn't

Oct 23 2022 23 mins  
Send us a text I always feel like I try and squeeze really big topics into twenty minute episodes and today is no different lol! So let's say it is a bit of a starter on the topic. I talk a bit about my own self care, self love, self worth journey. They are all different things, hence this episode being more introductory into my thoughts on these areas. I share some of the ways you

011 - LIFE/WORK BALANCE - Shall We Shake It Up A Bit?

Oct 16 2022 21 mins  
Send us a text Although the clue is in the title - 'balance' - I know from experience, listening to friends, nosying on social media etc, the scales often tip in the favour of work. So, does it change our perspective if we think of it as life/work balance? There is nobody on this planet that can tell me the main reason we are here is to work day in day out. We are expressive, creat

Sep 25 2022 25 mins  
Send us a text Even saying the word 'procrastination', even thinking it, writing it, gives that feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach - why do we do this to ourselves? I've been procrastinating over a big thing I have to do. I will share more about it once it is finished lol! So, this episode is basically my personal plan of how I'm going to battle the procrastination and get s
