2: Why Starting a Business Is the Best Solution to Teacher Burnout

Have you ever felt like there’s nothing left of you after giving everything to your students and your family?

That was me. Burned out, exhausted, and completely disconnected from myself. I thought I needed rest… but what I actually needed was purpose—something that was mine. Something that gave me energy instead of draining it.

In this episode, I’m sharing why starting a business (even something as simple as selling one teacher resource) became the most life-giving thing I could’ve done. It wasn’t just about making money—it was about coming back to life.

We’ll talk about why your burnout isn’t a sign to quit—it’s an invitation to build something that lights you up.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

Why burnout is more about purpose than exhaustion
How starting something small (and just for you) can give you your spark back
My $12 TPT story and how it became my turning point
The 3 unexpected ways business can actually help you heal
Why starting a business as a teacher doesn’t have to be overwhelming

If you’ve been craving something that’s yours—something to look forward to, something that reminds you of who you are—you’re in the right place.

In this episode I share the amazing book Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are So You Can Be Who You Were Meant to Be by Rachel Hollis. I highly recommend it!
