049 - Sliding Doors Stories - Part 7
Manage episode 481583403 series 3610145
In this special Sliding Doors bonus episode, we bring you three more powerful and deeply personal reflections from teachers who’ve exited the classroom and discovered unexpected joy, freedom, and purpose on the other side.
🎙 Hollie Jones shares the life-saving impact of leaving teaching - how being able to drop everything for her son’s emergency surgery reminded her what true flexibility looks like.
🎙 Paul Lennon reflects on how time - the real kind, not just school holidays - allowed him to reconnect with old friends, including a deeply emotional day kayaking with someone very special.
🎙 Grant Decker opens up about the emotional weight he carried in teaching, and the liberation of rediscovering his optimism and true self.
These stories are tender, raw, and often emotional - perfect reminders of why listening to your gut and stepping into a new chapter might just be the most powerful decision you'll ever make.
