3. Taking fate into your own hands, with Rhiannon Carter

Destination Unknown

This conversation is with Rhiannon Carter, an English language teacher, business owner, Theology graduate, and an endlessly curious and intellectually lively person who is also - on top of all of that - a wonderful friend. Once again this conversation took place in UK lockdown. During the pandemic Rhiannon lost her job; the school she had been working for essentially lost all its students, rendering its teachers redundant. Another example of the devastation the pandemic has wrought. But Rhiannon took this opportunity and pivoted it to become her own boss, and to teach the way she wanted to teach. The way she saw her students get the most value from her. She has found in her career what she most loved through her own education; big ideas and a safe space to talk about them in depth. Being her own boss also means taking time for herself. I find the internet is full of alls-or-nothings. Either a true hustle culture that admires a 24hr work day, or a stream of ‘relax relax relax’. Both of which are valid and I think Rhiannon has found a way to hustle and relax; a most essential balance. Her business has truly gone from strength to strength and you can follow her on instagram @rhiannonelt or check out her website at www.rhiannonelt.com I do hope that you enjoyed it.
