A small-group coaching experience built specifically for educators who are not sure the classroom career they've built is still the right fit and want to explore other avenues - but don't have any idea where to start.
Designed to fit into your summer so you have clarity well before the school year begins.
What’s included:
Two live virtual coaching sessions (3.5 hours total)
Group coaching and feedback with me - a former teacher and a mental health therapist who’s both been there and has the tools to get you there too.
Reflection guide designed to help you get clear on your best next step
A personalized done-for-you list of next step possibilities, curated by me during our time together
Two weeks of group coaching support via Voxer app
A cohort of 5 teachers walking through this with you
For more individualized support, add VIP for $125!
VIP includes everything in the Group Cohort, plus:
Two 30-minute 1:1 support mapping sessions with me, scheduled within 4 weeks after the intensive ends.
More personalized support as you actually take your next step—because clarity is one thing, but doing the thing is another
VIP is for the teachers who know they don't want to lose momentum once the intensive ends. Most teachers don't get stuck on figuring out what to do—they get stuck on actually doing it. These sessions are designed to keep you moving when fear, resistance, or the next school year tries to pull you back.
This Is For You If:
You're a teacher or school staff member who knows something has to change
You're tired of generic career advice that doesn't understand what you're walking away from
You want emotional depth and a practical next step
You're ready to stop researching and start moving
This Is Not For You If:
You're looking for a list of job titles and nothing else
You want someone to tell you what to do
You're not actually ready to take a step this summer
Only 5 spots available per cohort. Sign up today if you’re ready to join!

How It Works -
Session 1 — Get Unstuck (2 hours, virtual)
Name what you're actually feeling about teaching and where you are right now
Untangle who you are from what you teach
Work through reframes for the specific fears keeping teachers stuck
Start translating your teaching strengths into language the rest of the world understands
Between Sessions — Your Personalized Reflection & Support Mapping Your Next Steps (via email)
Complete a focused reflection guide and send it to me by 9pm EST on the Friday following our first session.
I'll review your responses and email you back by 9pm EST on the Monday before our second session.
My email will include possible next steps that match your needs and real-life constraints.
Of the next steps I give you, choose one that you want to share with the group.
Session 2 — Move Forward (1.5 hours, virtual)
Share the one step you'll commit to completing this summer with the group
Work with me and our cohort to name any barriers to completing this step
Leave with a concrete action, a deadline, and a plan to combat any barriers to making change that will inevitably show up.

YES! You can choose to pay through Klarna at checkout to divide up your payments in a way that works for your budget. I don’t want money to be a reason you’re holding back if this feels like the shift you need. If you want to talk through whether the investment makes sense for your situation, that's exactly what the free call is for.

Yes — actually, this intensive is built for exactly that. It's not about pushing you out of the classroom. It's about helping you get honest enough with yourself to know what you actually need. The point isn't the decision I want for you — it's the decision you can finally make with confidence instead of dread.
-
I created this program to include the community component and I would hate for you to miss out on that. However, I will be recording the sessions so if you can only attend one live session, we will figure it out to make it work for your schedule.

It's for you too. The intensive is designed for educators and school staff who are exhausted by the role but tangled up in the identity, the purpose, and the people they'd be leaving behind. Whether you're managing a caseload, running a classroom, or doing crisis response all day, the underlying work is the same: untangling who you are from what you do, and figuring out what actually fits.
-
That's a real outcome, and it's a good one. Some educators do this work and realize they don't need a new career — they need new boundaries, a different school, a different grade level, or a clearer sense of why they're staying. Choosing teaching is very different from feeling trapped in it. Either way, you leave with a better understanding of what fits you and why — that's the whole point.

Then let's talk! I offer a free 15-minute consultation if you’re considering the intensive — no pressure, no pitch, just a real conversation about where you are and whether this is the right next step for you. Go here to book a time
I built this intensive because I've been there.
I knew teaching wasn't right for me before I even finished my education degree — I just didn't know what was. I didn't know my options, and I didn't know what actually fit me. So I taught anyway.
And I was good at it. There were parts of teaching I genuinely loved. But the lifestyle and setting of a public school teacher didn't fit who I was. So every summer, I went looking. I didn't want something "teaching adjacent," so I did the real work: visiting graduate programs, asking people in other careers about their days, taking every personality and career-matching test I could find.
It wasn't until I worked with a therapist that something finally clicked. All those summers of digging had given me exactly what I needed — to know that becoming a licensed therapist was right for me.
Years later, in my own practice, I started helping other teachers through this same journey. And I realized I hadn't been the only one who felt alone in it — or who needed help pulling all that research together before it made sense.
Summer gives you room to breathe, think, and ask what else is out there. I want to guide you through it — using everything I learned and my skills as a therapist — so you leave one step closer to knowing what's next. And you won't be doing it alone.
If this sounds like you, join me this summer. I'd love to help you find the career that fits.
