Hello again! It’s Sharon and Sarah, back with another episode of the Pit Pony Podcast. Today, we’re sharing the behind-the-scenes story of the Pit Pony YouTube video, which somehow got over 100,000 views – despite a few technical hiccups (thanks, tech gods). Spoiler alert: it was almost a total disaster, but we made it through!
What We Chat About:
- Tech Woes and Triumphs: So, picture this – we’re all set to record the famous Pit Pony video with our amazing friend Su Bowie, and right in the middle of Su’s heartfelt story, Sarah’s computer throws a wobbly. It wouldn’t be us if things went perfectly, right? But don’t worry – we got there in the end, even if Sarah’s mic sounded like she was calling from inside a cupboard.
- Su’s “Tree Moment”: Sue shared her raw and powerful story about the time she seriously considered driving into a tree, just to give herself a break from teaching. It sparked a massive response in the group, with hundreds of teachers saying, “I thought it was just me.” It was a turning point that made us realise just how many teachers were feeling the same way.
- The Pit Pony Plan: We also dive into the financial side of leaving teaching – yes, that slightly scary but totally do-able blueprint. Sharon’s got a way with breaking it all down (bank statements, daily targets, and no more takeout coffees), so you can start working toward freedom without panic.
- Why We’re Pit Ponies: We explain why “pit pony” is more than just a catchy name. Teachers, like pit ponies, spend their whole lives in a system that often feels inescapable. But, as we’ve learned, there is a way out, and it doesn’t involve sacrificing your sanity.
