112: Why Can't You Stop Thinking About Becoming an Educator?

Have you ever found yourself thinking about becoming an educator, only to push the idea to one side because life got busy?

Then, a few months later, the thought comes back again.

If that's happened to you, you're not alone.

Some career ideas disappear almost as quickly as they arrive. Others seem to stay with us, quietly returning time and time again. But why?

In this episode of I'm No Rookie, I share some of my own story of moving from the treatment room into education, reflecting on the small moments, conversations and opportunities that eventually led me to realise teaching wasn't just another career option. It was the next chapter I had been preparing for without even realising it.

This isn't an episode about convincing you to become an educator.

It's an invitation to pause, reflect and ask yourself why this particular idea keeps coming back.

What You'll Learn

• Why some career ideas stay with us for years while others quickly disappear.
• How to recognise the difference between curiosity and a genuine desire for change.
• Why confidence usually comes after taking the first step, not before.
• How your everyday experience could already be preparing you for a career in education.
• Questions to help you reflect on whether teaching could be the right next step for you.
