Raise your hand if “planning day” sounds more like a chore than a celebration 🙋♀️
But what if I told you it could feel like a creative retreat—a time where your teacher heart, entrepreneurial spirit, and love for students all come together in one beautifully aligned, productive day?
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my most recent planning day—how I make it not only effective but actually fun. I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of how I map out curriculum, design meaningful experiences, get inspired, and plan ahead for my microschool or homeschool hybrid with joy and intention.
Because here’s the truth:
Whether you’re:
A teacher dreaming of your own microschool but drowning in to-dos…
A homeschool hybrid leader craving structure that actually works for YOU…
Or someone stuck in “planner paralysis” with too many tabs open (literally and mentally)...
This episode will help you reframe how you plan, why you plan, and how to create systems that spark joy and bring results.
We’re talking: ✔️ What my planning days actually look like
So grab your notebook (and maybe a coffee or a glass of sparkling water 🥂)…
