In todays bonus episode of The Pit Pony Podcast, we bring you another trio of powerful Sliding Doors moments – those life-defining experiences shared by our guests since leaving the classroom.

🎙️ Rachael Daniel reflects on an event, that reminded her not all schools are toxic, and some can still feel like home.

🎙️ Kitty White shares how the simple act of walking through the woods in the morning – free from a timetable – helped her reconnect with nature, memory, and peace after personal loss.

🎙️ Rob Newland describes the sheer joy of walking his excitable spaniel in the Cornish countryside at lunchtime – something unimaginable during his teaching years.

Each story is a gentle reminder that life on the other side of teaching can be calm, beautiful and yours to shape.
