In this two-episode special, I talk to freelance writer, novelist, and recovering teacher, Gabbie Stroud.
Gabbie's smash-hit memoir, Teacher, was shortlisted for Biography Book of the Year at the 2018 ABIA Awards and contributed to the national dialogue on education.
Her most recent book, Dear Parents, has a ‘no-filter’ style that is both funny (the laugh-out-loud with snorts kind), and heartbreaking.
On today’s show, Gabbie discusses her experiences writing ‘Teacher’ and ‘Dear Parents’, the outpouring of positive feedback she’s received since they were both published, her reasons for leaving teaching, and the mental health of teachers.
I hope you enjoy part one of this two-part conversation as much as I did. Gabbie is warm, and refreshingly transparent.
Enjoy!
