Hope, self-compassion, and self-efficacy; this is what this year has been built on for me. Hope that I can make a difference and that it will actually happen, hope that people will buy my book, and hope that my message will land and inspire others. Self-compassion for where I have been, where I am, what I have experienced, and what I bring to now Self-efficacy and belief that my work is needed, th...

This is a great conversation and a must-listen if you are wanting to move past the pandemic and onto a more proactive and fulfilled way of living.

Have you ever been in the thick of it? Oh, what a place it is to be! The past 12 months or so for me have been a series of being in the thick of it, from redundancy to changing jobs, to writing a book and now having a business. What a journey. This episode shares what it means to be in the thick of it, and how we can use this experience to ideate and dream rather than continue to be pulled down. J...

Last week I dropped by to talk about rest, how to prioritise it, and the struggles that may come with it. So many of you got in touch after this and shared your own stories about learning to prioritise rest. If you didn't catch the episode you can listen here .  What stood out was how many of you talked about change. Change in mindset, change in activities, change in how you went about your d...

As a child, whenever I was lounging around, my Mum would say 'If you're not doing something, I will find you something to do'. I recall phrases like 'Only dumb people do nothing', 'Successful people keep working' and 'Smart people are always busy', being used often. This created a belief that in order to be good at my job, smart, intelligent, or successful, I needed to be busy all the time. Whilst...

The concept of quiet quitting is fascinating to me. How can we name something that is actually about supporting ones wellbeing in a way that implies laziness and lack of care? What if instead we focused on setting boundaries, being clear and open with expectations, and compensated people accordingly for their time and effort instead of expecting more and more and more? A workplace that values well...

This week I chat with the lovely Paige Tan on mindfulness, boundaries, and utilising strengths. Paige is a former teacher who knows the importance of taking care of yourself, and who has experienced burnout herself.  You can read a little more about Paige below. The Teacher Wellbeing Hub Don't forget, The Term 4 Hub is open for registrations, and we will be kicking off really soon. You can jo...

How aware are you of the choices you make? These words are not mine, but that of a client. 'We always have choices; either stay where you are or invest time and money to change.' How amazing and accurate. This is the difference between taking responsibility or looking to blame, feeling as if life happens to you, or you create the life you live. For the most, we have a choice around how we invest o...

This week I was talking to a podcast listener and someone who has signed up for The Teacher Wellbeing Hub . They shared with me that sighing up to The TW Hub was about not letting others decide their path, and taking responsibility for the change they were wanting to create. I thought this was absolutely inspirational, and at this person's request, have created a podcast as to why this way of thin...

Everything you need can be found here: https://linktr.ee/amy.green It took me a long time to realise I had occupational burnout. I denied it for so long, how could that be me when I loved my job so much? Only now am I really able to reflect on and tell my story. I was ashamed, embarrassed, and felt like I was too good for burnout. It sounds silly I know, but on the outside, I had it all going on,...

Too often, I hear leaders and teachers say that they have to choose between one or the other, or that if they are focusing on wellbeing, they can't focus on teaching and learning and vice versa, this is not accurate. Wellbeing and teaching and learning go hand in hand. In fact, we should be focusing on both if we want to improve each to improve. We need each of these cogs turning in order to achie...

Is your culture above or below the line? What does your individual and collective thinking and behaviors say about your culture? Establishing an agreed expectation of behaviors, and of school culture, is crucial to everyday and workplace wellbeing. It allows for staff to feel safe, heard, and like they belong, whilst also allowing for more engagement, better productivity, and aligned performance....

There is a lot of talk about Teacher Wellbeing, but not a clear definition of such a complex and important topic. In today's episode, I break down how to understand Teacher Wellbeing through both everyday and workplace wellbeing. I also make the link between this and building collective teacher efficacy and 'fit for purpose' wellbeing of teachers. Let's stay connected: To find out more about anyth...

But why should I work on my wellbeing? With wellbeing being such a personal and varying topic, recognising why we need to focus on this, as opposed to how, can provide a more meaningful and aligned sense of acceptance in understanding the importance of this work. For me, wellbeing is about knowing what my point of equilibrium is, my balance/set point, and how to get back to this. This means I focu...

For a long time, I struggled to invest in myself, in me. I struggled to spend money on myself without feeling fear or guilt, I struggles with using time just for myself and I couldn't find the energy I needed to focus on myself. I was very able and willing however to give more than enough of my time, energy, and money to others, my family, and, my students. I wouldn't even think twice about doing...
