010 - Pit Pony Helen Taylor - Classroom to Cabin Crew
Manage episode 449763518 series 3610145
In this episode, we sit down with Helen Taylor, a former history teacher whose dedication to education was undeniable. Helen spent 18 years in teaching, finding joy in her students and a deep sense of purpose in the classroom. For years, she believed teaching was her lifelong path, pouring her energy and resources into her role.
But after a gruelling stint with new pressures, overwhelming workloads, and the unrelenting demands of a system that left her burned out, Helen made the life-changing decision to leave the profession she loved.
Helen takes us through her turbulent decision to exit the profession, charting a new course and eventually finding herself soaring to unexpected heights as cabin crew for British Airways.
Join us as Helen shares her story of resilience, personal reinvention, and the thrill of embracing a life she’d never imagined, 30,000 feet above the classroom.
