Teacher OFF DUTY!
Teacher Off Duty is the podcast for female teachers who are brilliant at looking after everyone else but somewhere along the way stopped looking after themselves.
Hosted by former teacher and coach Marina Hardiman, we talk honestly about what teaching can do to your health, energy, confidence and habits, from surviving the school day on coffee and good intentions to promising yourself you’ll sort everything out during the next holiday.
Expect real conversations about fat loss, food, strength…
