In this deeply introspective episode of the Pit Pony Podcast, Sharon and Sarah sit down with Gareth Isaac, a former sociology teacher who left the classroom after 4 years - overwhelmed by exhaustion, stress, and a profound sense of disconnection. Gareth candidly shares how he navigated the physical and emotional toll of burnout, his struggle to recognise what was happening to him, and the journey that followed his decision to leave teaching.
Now a mindfulness teacher, Gareth explains how mindfulness became his anchor, helping him reconnect with himself and redefine what it means to live in the present. From coaching young football players to facilitating men’s mental health groups, Gareth is using his experiences to empower others.
Expect honest reflections on:
- The pressure of perfectionism and people-pleasing in teaching.
- The impact of burnout on the body and mind.
- The transformative power of mindfulness in finding clarity and purpose.
- The societal challenges of male mental health and why it’s so important to talk.
This episode is for anyone grappling with stress, change, or a sense of being “stuck.” Gareth’s story is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the healing that comes from reconnecting with yourself.
