💌 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.

💛 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!

Rachel

I knew my mask was failing at home when I was too tired from the day, but when students started to notice ... 😓The moment I knew...

Dear Reader, Before we talk about marketing or pricing or posting to Instagram, we need to talk about something way less shiny but MUCH more important: burnout-proofing your business. When I first started my business, I was still recovering from the mental and emotional pressure and unrealistic expectations of classroom teaching.I thought self-employment would feel like sipping chai (or, in my case, a green tea latte) in yoga pants.Instead, I found myself copying classroom hustle energy and...

What's your teacher entrepreneur type?

Hi Reader, Ever feel like you’re scrolling Instagram and everyone else seems to have it figured out… while you’re over here thinking, “Am I behind? Am I even doing this right?” That thought came up again and again in my recent voice-of-customer work — and I realized something big: Most of the teachers in this community actually fall into one of three distinct archetypes. 👉 The Burnt Out Teacher — exhausted but not done. 👉 The New-ish Biz Owner — figuring it out. 👉 The Visionary — ready to...
