  • The Launch Your Website Bootcamp: Build a Professional Website That’s Ready to Enroll Families
    2025/10/21

    This is the grand finale of our website series and honestly, it might be the one that changes everything for your teacher business.

    Now, I want you to imagine something for a second. You’re at a family event or chatting with another parent in your community, and they say,

    “Oh wow, you started a microschool? That sounds amazing! Do you have a website I can check out?”

    And your stomach drops a little because… you don’t.

    Or maybe you do have one but it’s half-finished, outdated, or just doesn’t feel like you. You open it sometimes, stare at the blank sections, and think, “Where do I even start?”

    Sound familiar?

    You’re not alone, friend. Every teacher I’ve coached has felt this way at some point. Because building a website feels technical, overwhelming, and sometimes even emotional especially when your heart is in it.

    You’ve poured everything into your dream, your kids, your curriculum, your classroom and you want your website to reflect that. But then you get stuck wondering:

    What platform should I use?
    What should I say?
    How do I make it look professional?
    And when am I supposed to find time to figure it all out?

    That’s why I created something brand new to help you... the Launch Your Website Bootcamp.

    It’s a hands-on, done-with-you experience where I’ll walk you step-by-step through creating a simple, professional, 1-page teacher website that tells your story, builds trust, and gets families excited to enroll.

    In this episode, I want to walk you through exactly what you’ll learn, do, and create during this Bootcamp because if you’ve been spinning your wheels or second-guessing your website, this is exactly what you need.

  • The Biggest Mistakes Teachers Make When Building Their Website (and What to Do Instead)
    2025/10/15

    Let's talk about the biggest mistakes teachers make on their websites and, more importantly, what to do instead.

    Now, before we dive in, let me just say this: there’s no shame here. I’ve made every single one of these mistakes myself. I know what it’s like to spend hours tweaking colors and fonts or adding tabs until your site looks like a maze—only to realize that parents still aren’t signing up.

    You built your microschool or homeschooling business from a place of passion and purpose. But the tech side? The design side? The “how do I get families to actually take action on my site?” side? That part can feel overwhelming.

    So in this episode, I want to take the pressure off. We’re going to talk through the most common website mistakes I see teachers make—and I’m going to show you what to do instead so your website feels simple, clear, and ready to enroll families.

  • Writing Website Copy That Connects With Parents (Without Feeling Salesy)
    2025/10/07

    We are diving into one of the topics that I know so many teachers secretly dread about creating a website... writing the copy.

    Now I know, you’re a teacher—you write lesson plans, newsletters, and feedback every single day. But when it comes to writing about your business? That’s when things start to feel uncomfortable.

    You might be thinking things like:

    • “I don’t want to sound pushy or salesy.”

    • “I have no idea what to even say.”

    • “What if it doesn’t sound professional enough?”

    And I get it. Most of us were never taught how to write marketing copy. We were taught how to write objectives, report cards, and parent updates; but not how to write words that connect, inspire, and convert visitors into families who actually enroll.

    So in this episode, I want to show you how to make your website copy speak to parents’ hearts... without feeling fake, forced, or salesy. You’ll see that writing your website copy is absolutely doable.

    2025/09/30

    Let's continue our teacher website series on the show. Did you know that not every website actually works. I’ve seen so many teachers get brave, launch their website, and then feel frustrated when it doesn’t bring in new families. And usually, it’s not because they’re not talented enough or their program isn’t strong enough. It’s because their site is missing the essential ingredients that build trust and guide parents to enroll.

    In this episode, I’m going to walk you through the five non-negotiables every teacher business website must include if you want it to actually bring families through your doors. I am going to show you the exact pieces your website needs to work for you.

    Grab your notebook, because this episode is going to be a lightbulb moment if you’ve ever wondered, Why isn’t my website doing its job?

  • Why Every Microschool or Homeschool Business Needs a Website (Even if You’re Just Starting)
    2025/09/17

    Hey there, teacher friend. Let me ask you something—have you ever been in the middle of telling someone about your microschool or homeschooling program, and then you realize you don’t have an easy place to send them for more information?

    So you fumble for words, maybe pull up your Facebook page, or you tell them, “I’ll send you the flyer when I get home.” And later, you’re left thinking, Wow, that didn’t feel very professional. I wish I had something that showed the heart of my school, something I could be proud to share.

    I’ve been there. I know the frustration of having a big dream in your heart, but feeling like you don’t have the tools to communicate it clearly to families. And here’s the truth: when you don’t have a website, it’s like inviting families to join your school but forgetting to give them an address. They might be interested, but they don’t know where to go.

    That’s why today, we’re talking about why every microschool or homeschooling business needs a website—even if you’re just starting. Not a complicated, ten-page, tech-heavy site. Just a simple, powerful online home that tells your story, builds trust, and invites families in.

    By the end of this episode, I want you to see your website not as “one more thing on your to-do list,” but as the foundation of your teacher business. Because when you have a place online that reflects your vision and gives families a clear next step, everything changes.

  • Stocking Your Shelves with the Right Materials for Your Multi-Age Classroom
    2025/09/10

    I want you to picture your classroom shelves for a second. Are they overflowing with random resources you grabbed at a garage sale, donated workbooks, or bins of supplies that don’t quite fit together? Or maybe your shelves are kind of empty and you feel this pressure, like, “I need more stuff to make this work.”

    And here’s the truth: stocking your shelves is not about having more. It’s about having the right things. The things that actually build independence. The things that give kids meaningful choices. The things that encourage curiosity and collaboration — without leaving you overwhelmed and drowning in clutter.

    Because let’s be honest — when your shelves are chaotic, your classroom often feels chaotic. But when your shelves are thoughtfully stocked with the right materials, suddenly your classroom starts running smoother. Kids know where to go. They know what they can use. They’re engaged in learning, not just asking you “what’s next?” every 5 minutes.

    So today we’re going to talk about what to put on your shelves in a multi-age classroom. I want to help you think about categories of materials and the kinds of resources that will actually serve you and your students. This is about stocking your shelves with purpose so your multi-age classroom can truly thrive.

  • How to Create Balance Between Student Freedom and Teacher Structure in Your Multi-Age Classroom
    2025/09/02

    If you’ve ever tried to run a multi-age classroom, you’ve probably wrestled with this question:

    How do I give my students freedom while still keeping structure?

    Maybe you’ve seen this play out in your own classroom. You’re working with a small group, and your older students finish early. They start asking, “What do I do now?” Or maybe you gave them options, but then things got messy, and suddenly kids are off-task. You feel torn between giving them ownership and keeping everything under control.

    And let’s be honest—that’s a real tension. On one hand, you want your classroom to foster independence, creativity, and choice. On the other, you need to make sure that everyone is actually learning, not just doing whatever they feel like.

    This is where a lot of teachers get stuck. They either lean all the way into freedom—chaos. Or they lean all the way into structure—control, but no joy. The magic of a multi-age classroom is learning how to hold both.

    I’m going to share with you the balance of options and requirements—what it looks like, why it matters, and what strategies can help you get there.

    So if you’re ready to stop choosing between chaos and control, and instead create a classroom where your students thrive with freedom and accountability, this episode is for you.
