Perhaps you’ve loved the challenge of teaching and love the impact you’re making. But if you’ve ever wanted more freedom and flexibility when it comes to your work day and earning potential, you shouldn’t feel guilty about that. Today’s guest, Micala Quinn, is a former teacher turned podcast host and course creator. Her course, Overwhelmed to Overbooked has helped over a thousand women-who are primarily moms, successfully launch and scale their freelancing business from home.
If you’ve been teaching for 10 years or 1 year and you’re already facing teacher burnout, it’s important to stop and do some honest assessment. There are definitely seasons to stick it out. But sometimes it is time for a change. In today’s episode, I’m talking with former teacher and current freelancing photographer, Skylar Rain. Skylar lost her first job due to budget cuts and then found herself in a school that was under resourced and lacking the support she needed to be successful. Find out how she made the jump beyond the classroom even when her next move wasn’t clear.
You may have thought about a job in curriculum design or curriculum development and could easily explain what that job entails. But have you ever thought to search the terms “learning experience designer”? Sounds intriguing, right? That’s what our guest, Jennifer Ketron thought too! Jennifer was a brilliant teacher who had taught for eight years when her husband got a new job and they had to relocate. The idea of starting over at a new school, new grade level, and in a new community was a little overwhelming. So she took the opportunity to explore a new world in instructional design. In just three months after taking From Teacher to Instructional Designer, she landed a job. Listen to hear how the content in the course helped her become an easy choice for her new job!
Have you been interested in the idea of instructional design, but you are still in need of more freedom and flexibility? Then you need to hear from today’s guest, Lindsey Barlow. Lindsey is a former high school technology teacher who became an online course creator consultant. She does a lot of the same work that our other guests do on a daily basis. The difference is that her subject matter experts are business owners and not professors. She also works from the comfort of her own home. As an entrepreneur, Lindsey can take on as little or as much work as she likes!
