Their work focuses on the real experience of educators. Not the surface-level conversation, but what sits underneath. The emotional load. The cognitive demand. The quiet accumulation that builds over time. At the centre of this conversation is Secondary Traumatic Stress. It is present in schools more than we often think. It shapes how teachers think, feel, and respond. It also shapes whether people stay in the profession. Adam and Bob bring both research and lived experience. They speak with honesty about what they are seeing across schools, and what needs to change. This is not about adding more to a teacher’s plate. It is about understanding the conditions that allow people to do their best work and remain well while doing it. We talk about what Secondary Traumatic Stress looks like in practice. This is a grounded and important conversation. One that speaks to the reality of teaching, and the responsibility we all hold to care for the people at the heart of it.

Charlie is a former primary school teacher who knows, from lived experience, the pace, pressure and emotional weight that often come with life in the classroom. After feeling the toll that the profession can take on personal health and well-being, Charlie made a significant shift in his own career, choosing to focus on helping educators look after themselves with the same care they give their students every day.

Today, he is a qualified nutritionist, health coach, and the founder of The Teachers' Health Coach Ltd. Through his work, Charlie supports teachers and school staff to build sustainable habits that strengthen energy, resilience and overall wellbeing. His approach brings together practical strategies around nutrition, movement and mental health, helping educators manage stress, improve focus and find a healthier rhythm both inside and outside the classroom.

Charlie is also the host of the Rewriting Wellbeing Podcast, where he explores the realities of educator wellbeing and shares thoughtful conversations designed to help teachers flourish in a demanding profession.

In 2025, he released his book Healthy Habits for Teacher Life, a practical guide that helps educators embed small but powerful habits into their daily routines.

At the heart of Charlie’s work is a belief that resonates deeply with many teachers: educators deserve to thrive, not merely keep going. When teachers take care of their own well-being, they are far better placed to sustain their passion, their energy and their impact for the long run.

Olli-Pekka is the Director General of the International Baccalaureate, guiding a worldwide community of schools committed to developing curious, capable and principled young people. Before stepping into this global role, he served as Finland’s Minister of Education and Culture and later as State Secretary, playing a key part in the evolution of Finland’s internationally respected education system.

He is also the author of Learning as if Life Depended on It, a powerful reflection on why education must help us see the world anew. Drawing on Finnish heritage, statesmanship and a deep understanding of global challenges, Olli-Pekka explores what it means to move beyond being overtrained and undereducated, and why learning is central to the future of humanity itself.

In this conversation, we explore leadership, identity, global responsibility, and what it truly means to educate for a world that is changing faster than any curriculum ever could.

It’s thoughtful, expansive, and quietly urgent. A conversation that reminds us why this work matters so much.

Before stepping into this global role, he served as Finland’s Minister of Education and Culture and later as State Secretary, playing a key part in the evolution of Finland’s internationally respected education system.

He is also the author of Learning as if Life Depended on It, a powerful reflection on why education must help us see the world anew. Drawing on Finnish heritage, statesmanship and a deep understanding of global challenges, Olli-Pekka explores what it means to move beyond being overtrained and undereducated, and why learning is central to the future of humanity itself.

In this conversation, we explore leadership, identity, global responsibility, and what it truly means to educate for a world that is changing faster than any curriculum ever could.

It’s thoughtful, expansive, and quietly urgent. A conversation that reminds us why this work matters so much.

For close to 20 years, she’s worked in high-pressure environments where burnout is common and attention is constantly pulled in a hundred directions.

Heidi believes that when stress hits, we don’t need more theory or another long program. We need something simple, practical, and backed by science. Her work focuses on powerful resets that take 60 seconds or less and can be used right in the moment, before stress hijacks focus, performance, or well-being.

Trusted by organisations including Bupa, Rydges, and Cisco, Heidi is also a regular voice across television, radio, and print media. She helps people and teams find calm and clarity when the pressure is real, not later, but right there in it.

Not the slogans or surface-level frameworks, but the hard choices, the relational work, and the moments where leaders have to keep learning at the centre, even when the pressure is on. We discuss trust, instructional leadership, goal setting, and why well-intentioned leaders can sometimes stray from the very students they aim to serve.

At its heart though, it’s the everyday work of helping teachers grow and helping students learn in ways that are intentional, evidence-informed, and grounded in trust.

It isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about creating clarity, building shared purpose, and keeping everyone focused on the practices that genuinely shift learning. Instructional leaders make learning visible, link practice to impact, and cultivate the confidence and capability of the people around them. They stay curious, reflect openly, and use evidence to guide improvement rather than to judge.

This idea sits at the centre of the work led by Peter DeWitt and Michael Nelson, who together lead the Instructional Leadership Collective. Their approach shows that instructional leadership isn’t something held by one person. It lives in teams, in the way we talk about learning, in walkthroughs and planning sessions, and in those quiet, hopeful moments when someone says, “Let’s try this together.”

When we define instructional leadership clearly, we can collectively grow it. And students feel the difference long before the data catches up.

Nic’s journey from classroom teacher to award-winning entrepreneur has reshaped how thousands of young people think about learning, creativity, and possibility.

She’s the founder and CEO of Future Anything, an organisation with a bold mission to turn ideas into action. Over the past decade, she’s worked with more than a hundred thousand young people and educators across Australia and New Zealand, influencing the learning of more than a million students. Her work spans everything from YouthX, Australia’s only startup accelerator for school-aged entrepreneurs, to Catapult Cards, a design thinking tool now used by classrooms around the world.

Nic’s impact reaches well beyond our region. She’s an Obama Foundation Leader, a three-time honouree on The Educator’s Most Influential List, and her organisation is the only one in the Southern Hemisphere contributing to the IDEEC project, a major European Union initiative shaping global best practice in entrepreneurship education.

At the heart of it all is her belief that youth-led ideas can bend the future, and that every young person deserves the chance to discover their passion and potential. Today, we get to hear how she helps educators and systems bring that belief to life.

Glenys explores how compassion fatigue, moral injury and emotional resilience shape the lives of educators, and how trauma-aware, evidence-informed approaches can create healthier and more sustainable ways of working in schools What I value most about her work is how clearly she bridges research and practice. She takes insights from neuroscience and psychology and turns them into practical support for teachers, helping them understand not only the science of wellbeing but how to bring it to life in everyday school contexts. Glenys is the author of The Cost of Not Caring and Creating Trauma-Informed Classrooms, two books that continue to influence how we think about care, trauma and teacher wellbeing. This conversation is a thoughtful look at what it really takes to support both students and the educators who stand beside them.

In short, The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. As Oliver states “If you live to be 80, you’ll have had about 4,000 weeks. But that’s no reason for despair. We must confront our radical finitude, accepting how little control we have. This is the key to a fulfilling and meaningfully productive life.

He has been a guest on some of the world’s biggest podcasts including with Peter Attia, On Being with Krista Tippett, The Tim Ferriss Show, The Imperfects Podcasts, Feel Better Live More with Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, Steven Bartlett’s The Diary of a Ceo and Chris Williamson’s Modern Wisdom and The Ali Abdaal Podcast .

I hope that you get as much out of this conversation as I did.

In Australia, we are about to begin another year in the classroom. 

Don’t the holidays fly? It seems like only a minute ago that we were talking about ‘finishing the year well’ and ‘tying up loose ends in 2022.’ I hope that you have all had a refreshing holiday and that you are ready for a brilliant Term 1. As much as I enjoy the holidays, I start to get really excited to go back and teach.

Before we launch into the year ahead, I thought that I would share a recent conversation that I had with the brilliant Amy Green - and no, we are not related. Amy is a former teacher and school leader who is the founder of The Wellness Strategy. She works with individuals and workplaces, to help them understand what well-being is, develop well-being literacy, and to co-design and create well-being strategies and interventions that work. 

This is a really important conversation to have at the beginning of the year so that we all can have a more meaningful conversation about well-being. 

Her recent book Teacher Wellbeing was a great read and I am so grateful that I got to work with her.  All of Amy’s details are available below in the show notes. 

I hope that you enjoy this conversation that I had with Amy Green.

She has spent many years in the classroom and as a school leader and principal. More recently she has been trying to gain a deeper understanding of the ways in which teachers influence our lives. Julie believes that “Growth and transformation happen when people feel safe, seen, and stretched… just as we did in the classrooms of our favourite teachers.” As a qualitative researcher, Julie has interviewed hundreds of people about the teachers they remember. The synthesis of that research became the Chalk and Chances project, which I founded in 2018. In her words, if it wasn’t for her herMr beloved teacher Mrs. Russell “who knows where I would be right now.”

We all have that teacher, the one that changed our lives. Teachers are the unsung heroes who quite often have no ideas of the impact that they have had on their students.

Keishia fled poverty and violence as a child from Jamaica, and encountered racism as a black immigrant in the US where she had come on a track and field scholarship.

Her commitment to mentoring students - all immigrants themselves - and helping them find paths to higher education saw her named National Life Group’s ‘Lifechanger of the Year’ Grand Prize Winner for the 2018-2019 School Year. She has dedicated herself to mentoring college applicants and student-athletes, as well as expanding access to subsidised testing, financial aid, and full scholarships. 

We talked about: 

How she overcame unthinkable obstacles to become the most recognised teacher in the world

Why teachers need to share their stories, trials and victories

The importance of representation and why it matters so much 

The power of determination and vision and how to instil this in young people 

Keishia was a wonderful guest and it was an incredible privilege to speak with her.

To be honest, I am sure that everyone in that class and the many classes since felt the same way.  If you get a chance, reach out and thank your teacher, they may never know the difference that they made in your life.

  • What is educational leadership and how is it distinctive?
  • What are the direct and indirect impacts of leadership on student outcomes and how do these impacts occur?
  • What leadership capabilities are required for making a greater impact on student outcomes?
  • What types of intervention are effective in developing these capabilities?

Just a reminder that if you are struggling you are not alone. Here are some great mental health resources.

If you haven’t heard of Rainbow Sky Creations it is an education  website that creates resources for teachers that are simple, engaging and hands-on.​ 

I wish that when I embarked on my career in education that a resource like this existed - it would have saved me hours of work and many more hours of heartache. 

In this episode we talked about: 

  • The immense workload that teachers are under and how they are trying to help. 
  • The role of diversity in team environments
  • The importance of working in a range of school environments and what we can learn from this experience. 

I hope that you enjoyed this discussion with the inspirational Ashleigh.

Her research focuses on learning environments, with an emphasis on co-designing curriculum and pedagogy, teacher-led inquiry, and professional development. 

She was the lead Research Fellow and Research Manager of the Australian Research Council Linkage Innovative Learning Environments and Teacher Change (ILETC). The Project worked with Australian and New Zealand schools to develop a capacity for teachers and school leaders to teach and transition into innovative learning environments.

In this discussion we talked about: 

  1. Why does design matter? How can we create spaces that catalyse learning? 
  2. The role of co-designing curriculum and pedagogy why it has been such a focus of her work
  3. Why there has been a shift from ‘identical classrooms and autonomous teachers to more collaborative shared spaces?” 
  4. How we can tell if these new spaces will be effective?

This was actually one of my favourite interviews on the podcast and I left the discussion so excited about the future of our profession.

Here is her Micro-Certification:

Here are a few of Dr Marian’s latest research papers:

Integrated Learning Environments - Scoping Study 2021-2022

Women thriving in academia: Exploring the terrain

It is an honour and a privilege to bring you this discussion with the phenomenal woman that is Mundanara Balyes. Mundanara’s cultural heritage is connected to the Wonnarua and Bunjalung people on her mother’s side and the Birri-Gubba and Gungalu on her father’s side. Mundanara grew up in Redfern NSW with her 8 sisters and moved to her father’s country in the early 90’s.

Mundanara is the Managing Director and co-founder of The Australian BlackCard Pty Ltd (BlackCard), which is a 100% Aboriginal owned and operated business certified with Supply Nation. Mundanara co-founded BlackCard with Dr Lilla Watson, who is a respected Aboriginal elder, artist, educator and long-time course developer. BlackCard is a specialist consultancy providing cultural capability training and consultancy services to enable people and organisations to work effectively with members of the Aboriginal community. BlackCard’s purpose is working with people, not for people, with the genius of Aboriginal Knowledge. We talked, (well she talked, I cried!) about many things in this interview including some of the “silent forces” that Aboriginal people face and what the word "Australian" means her. We unpack some of her quotes in which she says that: 

“I come from a culture, where most of you are increasing your life expectancy…this is not the case for my culture." (Cultural education: Mundanara Bayles at TEDxSouthBankWomen)"

I am so nervous to release this episode because it is so important. Mundanara is a powerhouse, she is a gift and work has never been more significant than it is now. 

Thank you for taking the time to listen to this powerful conversation.

He examines teaching as a job, teachers as employees, and schools as workplaces. He frequently presents information to policymakers at the national, state, and local levels. Richard’s research is internationally recognised; he was cited by President Clinton in a number of speeches announcing his teacher recruitment and training initiatives, and President Obama’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

He has published over 100 articles, reports, chapters, and essays on topics such as the management and organization of schools; accountability and control in schools; and teacher supply, demand, shortages, and turnover. 

In this wide-ranging discussion, we talked about many things, including: 

  1. Why authors John Goldsworthy and Kingsley William Amis have had such an impact on his life. 
  2. Why he believes that there isn’t a teacher shortage in America, rather it is a retention and turnover issue. 
  3. The importance of challenging convention and assumptions with empirical and quantifiable data. 
  4. The role of management, organizational and school culture

Professor Ingersol was a delight to interview and his body and scope of works are simply breathtaking. I hope that you get as much out of this discussion that I did.

Learning occurs when you step out of your comfort zone. And yet, many people are hesitant to take this step for fear of making mistakes or revealing their weaknesses. That’s when the Learning Pit can help: to encourage and reassure learners that taking risks, asking questions, and trying new things can help them develop their abilities and deepen their understanding.

We talked about: 

1) The importance of creating opportunities for  “cognitive conflict?” with your students. 

2) The role of metacognition and self-reflection

3) The importance of adopting a “growth mindset.”

I was left profoundly impacted by my conversation with James. He talked honestly about his experiences at school and why he found it so challenging. He reminded me of the primary role of teachers; to connect and engage with students. James is an incredible communicator and I hope that you get as much out of this episode as I did.

  • His thoughts on  the changing role school  principals
  • His work titled “Students are not hard-wired to learn in different ways – we need to stop using unproven, harmful methods” and why we need a different approach to teaching

He explains why all students need to be creative thinkers and asks if creativity is a generic skill, and how – or if – we should assess it in schools. Dr Beghetto’s research explores: 

  • the role uncertainty and creative risk-taking plays in creative expression, creative teaching & learning, and creative identity development
  • how making principled changes to existing teaching, learning, and leadership practices can result in more creative, productive and sustainable educational contributions
  • how to support teachers and young people in making positive and lasting contributions to learning and lives of others; and
  • the development of more dynamic methods for studying creative expression in and beyond educational contexts.

Dr. Beghetto earned his Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from Indiana University (with an emphasis in Learning, Cognition and Instruction).  It was so great to finally speak with him. I hope that you enjoy this fascinating conversation.
