Teachers

You may or may not know, but I began my solopreneur journey as a curriculum developer making lessons and selling them on Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT). This was the perfect industry for me as I left classroom teaching to pursue my dream of working for myself and working remotely. I tried my hardest to find an online teaching position, but it just wasn’t in the cards. So I tossed the card deck in the trash and made my own deck to work from.

I continue to develop lessons that I sell on TpT, I participate in Facebook groups with other teachers and sellers, and attend the TpT Forward conference each year. I love the creative aspect of this world. However, I also love making direct impacts on people’s lives as they navigate the tough stuff. That is why I started my coaching business.

When I left the classroom, my father had recently passed away and I was just getting started with my divorce after 15 years of marriage. It was a tumultuous time for me to say the least. It is from these experiences, as well as the countless others I have lived through during my lifetime, that inspire me to help other women navigate their difficult seasons. I want to provide my fellow female bosses with the tools they need to reconnect with themselves, rediscover their passions, learn about their mindsets, find success… All the things!

But I also want to stay true to my passions and one of those is designing engaging lessons. It is for that reason that I am keeping my teaching materials on my website even though it is centered on coaching.

In the Whole Mindset TpT Shop you will find dozens of reading comprehension resources for grades 5 through 9 that incorporate social-emotional learning (SEL) aspects as well as engaging short stories. Each story is five passages with 10 questions each so that students can work in small manageable blocks and feel successful rather than overwhelmed.
