I used to freeze at the thought of “marketing my school.” I'm not naturally outgoing. I've always been more of a behind-the-scenes, let-me-do-the-work-in-peace kind of woman. And for a long time, I thought that meant I wasn't cut out to grow a successful microschool. All I kept hearing was: “You need to network more,” “You need to post every day,” “You have to sell yourself,” and honestly... I just wanted to crawl into a hole. If you've ever felt like that—if you're introverted, neurodivergent, shy, or just burned out by the pressure to show up all the time—I made this episode just for you. You don't need to change who you are to lead a thriving microschool. You don't need to fake confidence or become someone else to market well. You just need aligned systems and support that work with your personality, not against it. In this episode, I'll walk you through how I market my school quietly but powerfully, how I connect with families in a way that feels authentic, and how you can protect your peace while still building a sustainable school. You'll learn that you're not broken—you're built for this. And you can lead from a place of calm, clarity, and conviction. Need support mapping it all out?

There were so many days I felt completely alone. I didn't even know how to ask for help—because I didn't know what kind of help I needed. I just knew I couldn't keep doing everything by myself. Maybe you're in that place too. You're carrying the vision. You're showing up for everyone else. But deep down, you're tired… and wondering who's showing up for you. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the loneliest parts of leading a microschool—and how I found my way out. Not with a perfect plan. Not with a huge team. But with one honest question: “Can you help me?” I'll share what happened when I lost our building, scrambled through commercial properties, and had to lean harder than ever on the community I didn't even realize I'd already built. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure how to let others in—this is the episode you've been needing. Because you don't have to pretend to have it all together. You just need the courage to invite someone in. And when you do? Everything begins to shift. Need support mapping it all out?

Why work for 40 years and only retire once? What if you could step away more than once—not to quit, but to live more fully and intentionally? In this episode, author and host of Retire Often podcast, Jillian Johnsrud, joins me to share insights from her new book, Retire Often, which is now available for pre-order. She introduces the powerful concept of mini retirements—intentional pauses from work that can lead to deep burnout recovery, personal growth, and a more fulfilling, values-aligned life. What if you could take time off for family, health, travel, creativity, or simply to rest—without derailing your finances or career? Jillian has done just that, taking multiple mini retirements that not only helped her find balance and purpose, but also enhanced her career in the long run. Now, she's helping others do the same through practical steps anyone can follow. We explore how mini retirements aren't about escape—they're a tool for healing, clarity, and even career development. Jillian shares how these breaks helped her recover from burnout, rebuild her health, and live more intentionally. She emphasizes the importance of planning and practicing mini retirements to prepare for a fulfilling early retirement—and how our health, finances, and overall well-being are more connected than we think. Whether you're feeling exhausted, curious about early retirement, or simply craving more freedom and balance—this conversation will inspire you to rethink what's possible for your life and career. Key Takeaways: Mini retirements can serve multiple purposes: rest, growth, healing, or transition. Burnout recovery requires more than a weekend off—intentional rest matters. Planning and practicing mini retirements prepares you for early or semi-retirement. Life experiences often have expiration dates; act now. Health, money, and well-being are deeply connected. You don't have to wait for someday—practice living the life you want now. Community support can ease the transition into mini retirements.

Instead of waiting decades to enjoy your life, what if you could take intentional breaks throughout your career to recharge, pivot, and pursue passions?
