This week, Sharon and Sarah lift the curtain on the community that started it all — Life After Teaching: Exit the Classroom and Thrive, the Facebook group now home to more than 177,000 members.

They share what really goes on behind the scenes: how posts are moderated, why certain rules exist, and what it takes to keep such a vast and vulnerable space safe, supportive, and scam-free. From anonymous posting to the rise of MLMs, self-promotion, and the emotional weight carried by moderators, nothing’s off-limits in this honest and heartfelt episode.

You’ll hear:

  • How the group protects teachers from predatory marketing
  • Why some posts are declined — and what happens behind the scenes
  • The balance between boundaries and compassion
  • Plans to fund the Silenced by Support campaign
  • Why the group has quietly saved lives

It’s a powerful insight into the unseen emotional labour behind one of the UK’s most supportive teacher communities — and a reminder of why the Pit Pony team do what they do.
