Description

Last week, we shared the biggest news of our careers: we’re leaving teaching.

In this episode, we dive into what comes next. We're joined by Sophie Hayes, a former teacher and founder of StoryZoo - a brilliant initiative helping schools spark a love of reading. Sophie opens up about her own leap out of the classroom and how she turned her passion into a thriving business.

We also reflect on the emotional toll that teaching took on us - the constant pressure, the mental exhaustion, and the precious moments with our own children that we missed. It wasn’t an easy decision to leave, but it was one we had to make.
