Today I’m talking to Liz Taylor, a former teacher on a mission to empower parents and skill us all up in maths. Liz is one of the fantastic members of Port in the Storm, and she is someone who inspires me on a regular basis. Our conversation today starts with maths education and feminism, and ends up at teacher burnout and the impact of our current education system on all involved.

Burnout is a major problem across the whole of our society, not just in teaching. Signs of burnout include increasing levels of stress and frustration with work, physical symptoms like headaches, emotional exhaustion and a reduced ability to perform their duties at work.

If what you heard today resonated with you, I’m always up for a chat. Every week, I have conversations with people who need an ear and people who are ready for change. Wherever you are right now, that’s part of your story, but there’s always a way to start a new chapter. Come and book yourself in.

I also run a Facebook community called Port in the Storm. We welcome all women and non-binary people who want to learn how to navigate life’s challenges with strength, ease and energy. Your challenges might be massive, or they might be made up of a million tiny issues. Some days it might feel like all you can do is survive; other days you feel all fired up to make a change. This group is here for you, no matter where you’re at.
