Teacher Wellbeing with Adrian Bethune

"During that time I had this realization that I was someone who had worked incredibly hard at school. And I thought to myself during this difficult time, “I have all of this knowledge, all of these qualifications and I literally have no idea how to help myself feel better or get better. I was literally in a rut and I didn't know what to do.“

This episode is about wellbeing. Join me with primary school teacher, author, and consultant Adrian Bethune for an inspiring and hope-filled conversation about areas of happiness that matter most: eudaimonia, flourishing, contentment and confidence.
