💌 If you’ve ever dreamed of teaching on your own terms — this conversation will light the path.


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.

Your passion deserves a path that uplifts you, too.

With appreciation always!

Teacher Summer: Recovery or Transformation?

Hi Reader, Picture this: It’s the first week of summer break. You’re finally exhaling after another year of juggling 1,000 demands. You spend weeks recovering and coming back to life. But before long, the cycle begins again. Curriculum planning. Revamping lesson plans. Resource hunting. PD sessions. And let’s be honest—you’re lucky if you carve out two actual weeks off.
