In this special episode of The Pit Pony Podcast, we’re turning the spotlight inward. For the first time, co-host Sharon Cawley shares her own powerful and deeply personal sliding doors story.

More than just about leaving teaching, it’s about the moment Sharon reclaimed control of her life and showed what’s possible when we choose presence over pressure. Sharon reflects on how life outside of the classroom gave her the time, space and freedom to show up when it mattered most.

Today, Sharon and Sarah explore the power of gratitude, glimmers, and choosing to live consciously after life-altering decisions. This episode is raw, reflective, and a beautiful reminder of why our small daily choices shape our biggest transformations.

🎧 For anyone at a crossroads - this one’s for you.
