After 17 years in the classroom, Giselle Wild left teaching at Christmas 2024. In this episode, she reflects on a career built on creativity, care and connection - and the unraveling that began after the traumatic birth of her son.

From art rooms to leadership roles, Giselle gave everything to her students. But delayed PTSD, sleepless years, and a system that demanded more than she could give eventually led to a complete breakdown.

Now working for the Breck Foundation, Giselle supports young people to stay safe online - bringing her deep empathy and experience into a new role that values her in ways the classroom no longer could.

This conversation is about identity, invisible trauma, and what happens when a system you love starts to erode the person you are.
