I want to say something you may not have heard — at least not loud enough or often enough:
You’re not a bad teacher if you want to leave the classroom.
You’re not selfish.You’re not giving up.And you’re definitely not the only one.
You’re a human being who has been giving everything—your time, your heart, your evenings and weekends—for years. And now, maybe for the first time, you’re wondering…
What would it feel like to build something that allows space (and energy) for the other parts of me, too?
That wondering doesn’t make you a quitter.It makes you brave.
Still a teacher. Just on your terms.
The teachers I work with aren’t trying to escape teaching.They love it.They just want to do it in a way that feels sustainable. Aligned. Life-giving.
Maybe that’s you.Maybe you’re sitting in your car during planning period, wondering how the profession that once lit you up became the thing draining you dry.Maybe you’ve googled “what else can teachers do” more than once.Maybe you’ve seen those TikToks of former teachers working remote jobs in yoga pants, and you feel… both envy and disbelief.
Is that even possible for someone like me? Yes.
But let’s be clear: I’m not here to sell you a fantasy of passive income and palm trees.
What I am here to say is that there is more than one way to be an educator.And you deserve to explore what that might look like—without shame, pressure, or a 5-year plan.
The tiniest spark is enough.
You don’t need a dream right now.You don’t need to have a business name or a niche or a perfect pitch.
You just need a little space to breathe.And maybe the tiniest flicker of curiosity.
Because underneath the exhaustion and the overcommitment, you are still that wildly gifted teacher who knows how to change lives.And that part of you? She’s not lost. She’s just waiting for permission to come back in a new way.
What if your next chapter felt better than this one?
That’s the invitation I extend through the Teacher to Entrepreneur (T2E) Bootcamp — a gentle, two-week space to reimagine what your career could look like outside the classroom.
Not because you have to leave. But because you deserve to know what’s possible.
Inside the Bootcamp, we’ll replenish your energy, clarify what kind of business you might want to build, and take the very first steps — together.
It’s low-pressure, high-support, and designed for educators just like you: curious, courageous, and craving something more sustainable.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign… maybe it’s this one.
You’re not broken.You’re not alone. And you are absolutely allowed to want a life that feels better than the one you’re in.
The question isn’t: “Am I allowed to want more?”
It’s: “What would it feel like to say YES?”
