Teachers 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, exercise, boundaries, confidence and building a life that works during term time, not just when school is out.
Because you’re a teacher. But that was never supposed to become your entire life.

BONUS EP #110: I Know What to Do…I’m Just Not Doing It
You’ve heard the advice. You know the habits. So why does putting them into practice still feel so hard?
In this Monday morning bonus episode, I’m talking about the gap between having information and actually using it. We explore why new habits can bring resistance, why you need time to adjust, and how expecting yourself to get everything right can stop you from starting.
I also share my simple evening practice of recording one win and one thing I’m grateful for and why those small moments deserve your attention, especially during a difficult week.
Your focus this week? Choose one thing, put it into practice and give yourself credit for doing it.

BONUS EP #109: Show Up for the Energy You’ve Got
You don’t wake up at 100% every morning and you don’t have to.
In this Monday morning bonus episode, I’m sharing how I approach a 60% day, adjust my plans and still show up for myself. We’re talking about the everyday habits that support your energy, from protecting your sleep and fuelling your body to moving in small ways and saying no when your plate is already full.
This is your reminder to step out of the all-or-nothing trap. One late night or missed habit doesn’t write off your week.
You can always choose the next best thing.
Because showing up for yourself includes knowing when to rest.

When Did I Stop Feeling Like Me? #108
You’re still showing up for everyone, getting through the school day and keeping things going.
But somewhere along the way, you’ve stopped feeling quite like yourself.
In the first episode of my new six-part series, More Than the Teacher, Miss Hardiman, I’m talking about the changes that can creep up on you: feeling uncomfortable in your clothes, losing interest in making plans, and constantly putting your own needs off until things calm down.
I gained 30kg and lost it again during my 13 years in teaching. I understand how personal this can feel, and why another promise to “sort yourself out” doesn’t give you much of a starting point.
We’ll explore what you actually miss about how you used to feel, how much you’ve put on hold until you lose weight, and one manageable way to make room for yourself this week.
If you’d like support putting this into practice, message me CHANGE on Instagram at coachmarinahardiman for details of my 4 week coaching programme.
