011 - Pit Pony Rowena Hicks - Classroom to Author
Manage episode 451030778 series 3610145
Today, we’re joined by Rowena Hicks, who dedicated over 30 years to her role as a Deputy Head Teacher and SENCO in the London-Kent area. Teaching was Rowena's life - it was her passion, her calling, and she gave it her all, right up until the moment her own health signalled it was time to step back.
Rowena opens up about the physical and emotional toll of being a people-pleaser in the world of education. From pushing through chronic stress to the realisation that her relentless work ethic was costing her health, Rowena shares her journey of self-discovery and recovery.
She talks about the pivotal moment she took her doctor’s warning seriously, the challenges of redefining herself outside the classroom, and the newfound passion she’s poured into her second career as an author.
Tune in to hear Rowena’s inspiring path from burnout to balance, her take on the importance of self-worth, and the small, daily steps she’s taken to rebuild her life with intention and joy.
