In this episode, Clare is joined by Telma who is a teacher, podcaster, and blogger. She has lived in Portugal, Madeira, Guinea Bissau, Switzerland, and the UK. Telma is passionate about having a say and creating the space for others to speak and fully express themselves.

At times, Telma found it hard to fit in and experienced racism. She explains what that was like, how she coped and how it inspired her to create spaces where people can fully express who they are, find their inner peace and grow.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Each culture treats and educates children in hugely different ways. Switching between them is challenging.
• Telma was attracted to the UK because it was somewhere that is very accepting of people from different cultures and backgrounds.
• In many countries, a successful person is seen as someone who is a doctor, accountant, academic or something similar. Telma works to give people with other talents a voice.
• Many people believe that if they follow the wrong path, that their life is ruined. In reality, it can be the start of a positive change.
• Truly listening to struggling students enables you to connect with them in a way that makes it far more likely they will accept your help and guidance.
• Find your inner peace, so you can lean on yourself when times are bad.
• Listen to your instincts. Don´t just go along with things, do something about it.
• The most successful entrepreneurs work to make the lives of others better. When you provide what people need, they naturally turn to you.
