*Minor language warning for the words "crap, bloody, and penis" Haha
Sarah is a hilarious teacher who joined the Wine with Teacher wellbeing club and became a good friend both in the online space and in real life. She shared with honesty and vulnerability. Please respect her sharing so openly about challenging topics like maths anxiety and navigating her dip in passion for teaching.
In this episode, we discussed:
Sarah's journey into teaching Imposter syndrome and maths anxiety Reigniting her passion for teaching Highlights in her classroom day to day Therapy dogs and the lovely Lady Dogs Connect and teacher wellbeingPrepare for some wholesome stories and a safe conversation where we both felt comfortable sharing with each other. As I shared on Instagram, this is one of the first conversations where I didn't edit out my oversharing. As an adult with ADHD, this is a big step when you've experienced a lot of negative feedback and messages around being too selfish by sharing to connect with and validate the other person.
