In this episode, we flip the script as Sharon interviews Sarah about her own pit pony journey! Sarah takes us back to her 24-year teaching career, all the ‘heads’ she’s held (literally all of them, except her own sometimes), and what it felt like when that life came to a sudden, brutal stop. We dive into the messy aftermath, from grappling with the financial fallout to Sarah’s "Netflix, crisps, and sofa phase." And yes, her son had to adult her for a bit. Spoiler: it involves writing lists and a lot of tea.
We also get into the highs and lows of finding herself on the other side of the classroom and landing the role of Chief Operations Officer at Conexus Tuition (spoiler: Sharon might’ve had something to do with that). Tune in to hear about Sarah’s surprising path from the world of teaching to business, and how she discovered a huge part of herself along the way, including her realization of being neurodivergent.
Full of laughter, deep dives into identity, and a few emotional moments, this episode is a celebration of Sarah’s resilience, the power of saying ‘no,’ and how sometimes life’s biggest curveballs can lead to the best opportunities. Grab a cuppa and join us for a heartwarming chat!
