In episode 314, I speak with Author, Life Coach, school principal, and wellbeing expert, Sue Carr. Sue is passionate about helping people just like you to find clarity, confidence, and balance. Whether you’re a teacher, leader, or simply feeling stuck, she is here to help you reconnect with your purpose and feel good in your life. After becoming a mother at 17 and dealing with the fallout, then feeling like she had to work hard, and please people at the same time, she spiralled into burnout. Her healing journey began when she focussed on her strengths, not her deficiencies. This is an essential podcast, not to be missed.
When life knocks us down, it’s easy to focus on what we don’t have or what we’re not doing well. But what if the real key to healing, resilience, and success lies in starting from strength?
In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Sue Carr — author of Too Strong for Too Long: A Self Leadership Map To Guide Your Journey, life coach, school principal, and wellbeing expert. Sue has dedicated her life to helping people find clarity, confidence, and balance, whether they’re teachers, leaders, or simply navigating life’s challenges.
Sue’s journey is nothing short of powerful. Becoming a mother at 17, trying to please everyone, and pushing herself beyond her limits eventually led to burnout. But through self-reflection and a shift in focus, she discovered that the way forward wasn’t in fixing her weaknesses — it was in leaning into her strengths.
We discuss:
✨ The power of self-leadership and why it matters
✨ How to break free from burnout and people-pleasing
✨ Why focusing on strengths leads to clarity and confidence
✨ Practical tools to reconnect with your purpose and feel good again
Sue’s story is a roadmap for anyone who has felt stuck, overwhelmed, or “too strong for too long.”
If you’re ready to stop striving and start thriving, this conversation will give you the encouragement and tools to begin — by starting from strength.
