Hi Reader, I recently had the joy of joining Katherine Martín-Fisher on The Beyond Business Podcast to share my story — how I went from a burned-out classroom teacher to a fulfilled private practice teacher and mentor. In this candid conversation, we talked about: ✅ The emotional and financial toll of staying stuck in a system that doesn’t serve you ✅ Why private practice teaching offers more freedom, purpose, and fair pay ✅ How mentorship changed everything for me (and why it can for you too) ✅ The mindset shift that helped me build a business I design — not one I endure 🎧 If you’ve ever dreamed of teaching on your own terms, this episode is for you. 👉 Listen now on Apple Podcasts 💛 And if this sparks something in you… I invite you to take the next step. Let’s chat about what private practice teaching could look like for you. 👉 Schedule your free discovery call Your passion deserves a path that uplifts you, too. With appreciation always!
