What are the things you wish school had actually taught you about understanding yourself, life, friendships, mindset, relationships, confidence and health?

That’s exactly why mum-and-daughter duo Jane & Liv created The School Run Podcast — to open the world to everything school didn’t teach you.

And today’s episode is a BIG one.

Big news. Big change. Big emotions.

And a moment we’ve known has been coming… but didn’t quite expect to feel this deeply.

In this episode we talk about:

✨ Liv’s exciting news — after three intense interviews she’s been offered an incredible degree apprenticeship in the property and construction sector. You’ll hear the full journey: nerves, imposter syndrome, the pride, the celebrations… and what she’s most excited (and scared) about.

✨ The truth about nearly 150 episodes — the consistency, the joy, the impact, and the beautiful messages from our 17,000+ listeners.

✨ How The School Run Podcast began — from car chats on that long school commute to becoming a space that’s supported young people, parents, teachers and families across the country.

✨ What’s changing… and why — Liv is stepping into full-time work + a degree and stepping back as co-host (for now). She’ll always be co-founder, but Jane is taking the podcast forward into a new era aligned with Little Voices, empowering young people and supporting parents and educators.

✨ Endings & beginnings — Liv’s emotional goodbyes to her café job and her Tuesday Little Voices role, and what she’s learned from seeing children’s confidence grow from the other side of the classroom.

✨ A huge shoutout to our producer, Mike at Making Digital Real — honestly, we physically couldn’t have done this journey without him.

✨ And… The Olive Jar — the digital release, the lifelong impact it’s had on Jane (she’s on her 5th round), and why it’s one of the most transformational things you can do for your mindset and wellbeing.
