In this vital episode of The Pit Pony Podcast, Sharon and Sarah discuss one of the most common - and distressing - questions that surfaces in the Life After Teaching community: What do I do if I think I’m being bullied?

Drawing on hundreds of real teacher experiences, they unpack the early warning signs, the subtle shifts in communication and behaviour, and the emotional toll that workplace bullying can take. You’ll learn:

  • How to spot the red flags (even the ‘low-level’ ones)
  • The difference between a bad day and a toxic pattern
  • Why you must trust your gut — and what to do when it whispers
  • How to keep a record that empowers you, not paralyses you
  • What to say in the moment to reclaim your confidence and dignity
  • And crucially, how to answer the hardest question of all: what do I want to happen next?

This episode is both compassionate and fiercely practical. If something doesn’t feel right at work - or hasn’t for a while - this one’s for you.
