March 11, 2022 EP 58: 5️⃣ Lessons I Learned While Leaving Public School Scared and Overwhelmed, Becoming a Homeschool Mom and A Micro-School Teacher💙 Finding Courage in the Unknown
Hi There, Teacher Friend!
It’s March, and I know many teachers are considering options for next year, frantically holding on to possibilities, dreaming of a different way to carry on their love for teaching, but scared to let go. We've all been scared to leave the safety and comfort zone of teaching and embark on a journey that may/may not have ever seemed possible. All the fears come flooding into our minds. Where do I go? If I leave, what do I become? Can I /Should I really do this? Should I homeschool my children? Where do I even begin?
Teacher friend, you are not alone. 3 years ago, I left teaching public school and had no idea where I was going or what I wanted to do. All I knew is that I needed to get out of there and start stepping in the direction God was calling.
In this podcast episode, I share 5 valuable lessons I learned going from Public School Teacher to Homeschool Mom to Micro-school Creator. I share what helped me along the way when I was scared, overwhelmed, and had no idea what I was doing! I believe you will find encouragement from this heart-felt episode!

But here's the truth...EVEN if this decision feels huge and terrifying, IT's NOT impossible. You can’t change something that isn’t within your power to change, but you can wake up tomorrow and do something different, and that is most powerful thing of all.
In today's episode, I discuss 10 ways to bring more peace, organization, joy and courage into your life...especially when you feel it is so far away! You will be able to walk away from this episode with more tools in your toolbelt to help you overcome anxious feelings and burn out.

February 25, 2022 Ep 54: 👏A Frequent Parent Concern! How Teachers and Homeschool Parents Can Build A Homeschooling Business Serving More Families and Children with Mentorship and Experiences💪
Welcome Back, Teachers and Parents!
One of the most frequent questions I get from parents who are trying to homeschool for the first time is, "How Do I Homeschool My Child?" "Can you help me?" "Do you have any tips or tricks?" "Could my child come to you for a few hours of the day?" "Would you be able to TEACH me??"
In today's episode, we discuss expanding a micro-school or homeschooling business to not only serve students but parents as well. This can look different depending on how you set up your business, but no matter what...there is a need for this type of service!
Parents are not only looking for alternative education options for their children, but they need help as well. For some parents, knowing how to receive support and homeschool their children can make or break the decision to send students to a micro-school or homeschooling co-op. Many parents long to teach their child at home, but need support along the journey.
That's where you come in.... Enjoy the show!

February 22, 2022 Ep 53: How Do I Get More Students for My Homeschooling Business? Should I Open My Micro-school To Support Virtual School, Homeschool Students, or Homeschool Co-ops? Questions and Answers Revealed!!
Welcome back to another episode of "Teacher, Let Your Light Shine"- Where Teachers and Parents Work Diligently to transform education by creating micro-schools or homeschooling businesses!
One of the biggest fears teachers and parents face, when it comes to starting their own homeschooling business or micro-school, is knowing "who to serve" and "where to find these students". Many teachers will ask, "Should I open the doors to students who are in virtual school?"
"Should I work with homeschool families who want to do the direct instruction themselves?"
"Should I partner with a homeschool co-op to expand my potential reach of students?"
In today's episode, we touch base on these questions and the advantages of accommodating families in multiple situations.
We discuss the Important Questions to Ask Yourself when it comes to making these decisions and how to support parents who are looking for a consistent educational model or structure for their child!

February 18, 2022 Ep 52: How Do I Ensure Multiple Streams of Income with a Micro-school or Homeschooling Business Serving Students Full-Time or Part-Time? Creating Learning Enrichment Camps for Homeschool Students!
Hey there, teacher friend!
As you are beginning to explore the many models of your future homeschooling business or micro-school, many thoughts begin popping into your mind: "How can I make additional income? Do I need to serve full time students only? If I serve students part time, will my income still be sufficient? What would it look like if I could create a homeschool enrichment center? Can I serve homeschool families with the use of summer camps, day camps, enrichment activities or in a learning pod setting? What could a creative and flexible day look like in this type of a micro-school?
The great news about starting your own business is that you can design it any way you would like! In education, there are so many possibilities for learning, enrichment and finding JOY in what you do as a teacher or parent.
Let the possibilities inspire you! Your idea is not too big or too small, so get out your notebook and let's get to it!
