Who Am I?

Who am I?

To answer that question, I’ll st
art with who I was.

A few years ago I was a stressed, exhausted primary school teacher. I would have told you at the time that ‘stressed’ and ‘exhausted’ were adjectives synonymous with my role. It didn’t mean I didn’t love teaching - it’s just that I had accepted that being stressed and exhausted was part of life. I also would have told you that being a teacher was such a huge part of my identity. In fact, despite the fact I was thinking about leaving, I felt stuck and unable to leave.

I was ‘just a teacher’.


Two and a half years ago, I slumped. My brain couldn’t keep up with me. I was ill. I was signed off work with depression and didn’t return to the classroom.

So, who was I if I wasn’t a teacher?

I am so grateful that through coaching and focusing on my personal development, I have reconnected with Emma. And she’s pretty great. Of course there are some days where I doubt how great Emma is, and some days where Emma annoys me, and definitely some days where Emma surprises me - that’s natural. But being ME is joyous. Being ME is so much more than my role.

I am no longer ‘just anything’.


Part of being ME now is helping others be truly themselves too. It’s liberating and I want to share the power and magic of it.

My secret?  It’s not really a secret as I talk about it ALL THE TIME, but the key to all of what I’ve done is CHOICE.

I have chosen to change.

I chose to focus on looking within me rather than searching for answers outside of me.

I choose to embrace being ME everyday and stop being defined by my role. 

And really importantly, I stopped waiting for the confidence to do all of that, and I chose it.

If you want to do the same, I would LOVE to support you. Choosing Confidence is my six week group programme starting this week. Message me today at emmacanncoaching@gmail.com if you want in!
