Becoming a Mentor for Young People

June 27, 2023 • Joanne Howard • Season 2 • Episode 20

Jo chats with Ali about how she had to leave the classroom due to health reasons and then the road to recovery and rediscovery she has been on since. They explore the emotional rollercoaster of losing the teacher identity, learning to make life style changes and finding and re-igniting your passion when it is buried deep within.

In this episode, we also explore:
- The emotions around having to leave due to ill health.
- Finding a safe community to allow recovery to happen.
- How to manage fatigue, burnout and all the emotions alongside.
- Finding opportunities to specialise in your passion.
- How to rediscover and realign with your core values and beliefs.

As Ali says:
"Just be brave and find that passion!"
