012 - Pit Pony Amy Meade - Classroom to Learning & Development Manager

The Pit Pony Podcast - Life After Teaching

After 14 years in teaching, from secondary English to primary leadership roles, Amy Meade’s journey out of the classroom is remarkable.
Amy candidly shares the burnout that came with Ofsted pressures, the life-changing realisation that school didn’t have to own her, and how she stepped into a new career as a Learning and Development Manager.
Through over 400 job applications, Amy’s resilience and adaptability are an inspiration to anyone contemplating a leap into life after teaching.
This episode is packed with advice, heart, and a beautiful Sliding Doors moment that reminds us of the preciousness of time.
