The Pit Pony Podcast - Life After Teaching

After 17 years in education, Rae Dillon made a bold decision to leave the classroom and step into a whole new world. In this episode, Rae shares her fascinating journey from teaching in the UK and China to becoming a successful copywriter, editor, and proofreader with her own business.

Discover how teaching abroad gave Rae a unique perspective on education, why two and a half days of supply teaching confirmed her decision to leave the UK system, and how she transformed her love of writing into a thriving career.

Plus, Rae reveals how she built resilience through rejection, tailored her CV for a new industry, and found her niche in a competitive market.

Tune in for practical tips, motivational insights, and the proof that life outside of teaching can be as fulfilling as it is exciting!
