In this episode of The Work of Wellbeing podcast, Amy Green shares a timely and honest reflection on a question she hears too often, why we still don’t seem to get wellbeing.

Amy challenges the quick-fix mindset and breaks down why fruit bowls, yoga sessions, and one-off initiatives fall short. She calls out the systemic barriers hiding in plain sight, calendars, job descriptions, and unsustainable expectations, and urges workplaces to stop outsourcing wellbeing to the individual.

This is a bold call to action for schools and organisations to stop waiting for someone else to fix things, and instead take ownership of building systems that support clarity, autonomy, sustainability and collective care.

Whether you're a leader, educator or just deeply tired of performative wellbeing, this episode will push you to reflect, rethink and recommit to doing the work together.

In this episode of The Work of Wellbeing podcast, Amy Green unpacks a question many educators wrestle with: what does a standard working week actually look like in education?

Drawing on a resource from the Queensland Teachers Union, Amy explores the breakdown of a 42-hour work week, distinguishing between on-site, meeting, and flexible hours. She dives into why this clarity is essential for managing workload, defining boundaries, and recognising when work expectations have tipped into personal time.

Amy introduces the concept of “time theft” and shares practical reflection questions school leaders and educators can use to assess and redesign how work is structured. Whether you're in Queensland or elsewhere, this episode offers a concrete starting point for better conversations around workload and wellbeing.

In this episode of The Work of Wellbeing podcast, Amy Green shares a personal and often-asked question: why she left the classroom. With honesty and reflection, Amy talks through the difficult decision to step away from teaching, the pull to stay, and the push to do the work she now leads.

She explains that her move into wellbeing advocacy and consultancy wasn't driven by burnout or frustration, but by a deep passion to support educators and schools. Amy discusses the transition from part-time teacher to full-time mentor and speaker, and the emotional weight of leaving a profession she still loves.

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that creating change in education comes in many forms, and that stepping away from the classroom doesn’t mean stepping away from the profession.
