On a scale from 1-10, how happy are you? Is that something you're even paying attention to, or do you think that you'll get around to focusing on happiness, you know, later? 

In this episode Karen Eamens, a London based teacher and the brain behind Happy Teachers, Happy Schools, talks about her pursuit of happiness. Not just for herself, but for all teachers. 

According to the National Health and Safety Executive, teaching is the second most stressful profession in the UK. When this statistic caught up with Karen she didn't run for the hills or plan an early retirement. Instead she rolled up her sleeves and began to research everything she could get her hands on regarding happiness, positive psychology, and neuroscience.

All the reading and research paid off, and her biggest take-away, and her main message, is that happiness is a skill we can practice and get better at. Much like learning how to play an instrument.  And the health benefits are amazing.

In this interview Karen explains how she went from being in research-mode to creating the coaching program Happy Teachers, Happy Schools. She’ll also tell us the one sentence that always gets her out of her comfort zone. 

So have a listen.  This is about to get really interesting!
