In this episode, we have the privilege and pleasure to travel halfway around the world to meet Maryam, an Indian heritage, British born teacher who is teaching in an International School in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. Through her own struggles with anxiety and mental health challenges, losing loved ones during the pandemic, being isolated and suffering physical illness, Maryam was set on a personal learning journey that would not only help her grow, but that also led her to find the skills, strategies and resources to create a wellness toolkit that she could then share with her students for their mental health and well-being. Maryam is inspirational, positive and uplifting in all that she shares with us to create personal pathways of peace and well-being both in and out of the classroom. As teachers start their journey for a new school year, Maryam’s ideas and tips will become an invaluable resource to help maintain the course of mental wellness and overall well-being. Let’s listen, open our hearts, hold hands and help each other through the challenges of teaching that we will inevitably face every day so that we can all be well and do well in order to make a difference in the lives of children!
