   How Teaching Follows You Into the Holidays

   Teaching doesn’t always stop just because school does. In this episode, we talk about why holidays can feel hard to actually enjoy when your brain is still in school mode. From reports hanging over you at Easter, to checking emails when you should be with your family, to that guilty feeling of needing to stay productive even when you’re meant to be resting. We also get into boundaries, why so many teachers struggle to switch off, and some simple ways to protect your time properly over the break. If teaching has a habit of following you home and into every holiday, this one will feel very familiar.

   Why Teachers Live for the Holidays

   Teachers count down to the holidays for a reason. In this episode, Martin and Dan chat about the Easter break, the after school crash, why so many teachers spend term time just surviving, and how easy it is to build a life that revolves around making it to the next break. They talk about guilt, exhaustion, doom scrolling, school reports, and the reality of trying to look after yourself when teaching has taken everything out of you. A honest conversation about work, rest, and why teachers deserve more than just recovery time.
