From Teaching to Freelance Freedom!
16 years as a middle school teacher… and now she's running to Costco in the middle of the day just because she CAN?! 🙌 😉 And attending her daughter’s celebrations at school!! Teachers, think about how hard it is to do that!!
My INCREDIBLE client Mary made the leap to freelance instructional design and her life looks COMPLETELY different now (in the BEST way). 💖
👶 She explains how job searching without support felt like "having a newborn without a reliable source of advice”... too much noise, too many opinions, and no idea who to trust. That comparison had me cracking up, but it's SO real!! 😂
We talk about:
😩 Hitting burnout and feeling creatively stuck after years in the classroom
💔 The emotional toll of stepping away from work she knew she was good at
🚀 Why she chose freelancing over a traditional 9-5
🧠 Getting overwhelmed by TOO MUCH advice during her job search
💗 Learning to stop underselling herself and start prioritizing HER needs
Mary's advice for fellow teachers? 👉Prioritize YOURSELF, because most of us are so used to pouring into everyone else that we forget how. 💗

If you're a teacher feeling stuck, burned out, or like your creativity has hit a wall… Mary's story is going to show you what's possible!! 🙌
