If so, here’s something to think about: 👉 What would it feel like to teach in a way that aligns with your energy, values, and strengths—not someone else’s system? If you’re dreaming of more freedom, creativity, and flexibility in your teaching life, it might be time to start exploring what’s possible. Burnout isn't...

Hi Reader, If you could change one thing about traditional classroom teaching… what would it be? Would you ask for smaller class sizes? More autonomy? Fewer meetings? More time for actual teaching instead of paperwork? This is one of the first questions I ask teachers who are beginning to imagine life outside of the traditional classroom. Because that “one thing” is usually a clue—something deeper is waiting underneath. That frustration often points to your core values: What matters most to...

teacher burn out, teacher overwhelm

Dear Reader, Over the past week, I shared a free Financial Literacy 101 training opportunity, and I hope it was helpful to those who joined! But today, I wanted to shift gears and reconnect in a different way. If you’ve been juggling all the things—teaching, business-building, life—you’re not alone. Truthfully? I had to take a step back myself. My last regular email was all about self-care, and in hindsight, I think I needed that reminder as much as anyone. Running a business as a...

Hi Reader, We all became teachers because we wanted to make a difference—but that doesn’t mean we should have to struggle financially to do it.

Financial Literacy for teachers

Hi Reader, Have you ever felt like your finances should be working harder for you—but you’re not sure where to start? As teachers, we dedicate so much to our students, but when it comes to financial security, we often don’t get the support or education we need.

How and Why Self-care is essential for teachers & teacher-entrepreneurs

Dear Reader, As teachers and teacher-entrepreneurs, we wear many hats, but the most important is taking care of the person who runs the business: ourselves. I just shared a new blog post about how simple self-care transformed my habits, my health, and my business. In it, I reflect on the unsustainable patterns I carried over from my years in the classroom and how I finally learned to prioritize self-care—not just for my own sake, but for the health of my business. In the post, I share an...
