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 easy, two-part self-care framework that works for me and the teacher-entrepreneurs I mentor. If you’ve struggled to maintain self-care routines, especially as your business grows (or your year becomes more challenging), this might be the approach you need.

I’m hosting it this Wednesday, January 15th, from 6:15-8:15 PM EST. It’s a great opportunity to carve out some time for yourself AND envision where you want to be this time next year.
With love, respect, and appreciation always, Rachel Want to learn more? Let's talk!

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...
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...
