Have you ever hit the end of the year feeling… tired, proud, disappointed, hopeful, overwhelmed all at the same time?

Like you did a lot, but you're not totally sure what actually moved the needle.

You tried things.
You learned things.
You stretched yourself in ways most people never will.

But when it comes time to set goals for the next year, your brain starts spiraling:

• Do I focus on enrollment?

• Do I finally launch?

• Do I scale… or slow down?

• Do I even know what I want 2026 to look like?

And suddenly goal setting feels less like clarity and more like pressure.

Friend, this episode is not about hustle goals.
It's not about doing more.
And it's definitely not about copying what someone else is doing on Instagram.

Today, we're talking about how to set goals for 2026 in a way that actually supports you as a teacher building, launching, or growing a microschool or homeschool business.

So if you're listening while folding laundry, driving carpool, or sitting in your quiet house after everyone's gone to bed… just know this:

You're exactly where you're supposed to be.
And 2026 does not need a rushed version of you. It needs a clear one.

You've been thinking about starting a microschool in 2026.
Not out loud. Not on social media.
Quietly.

Maybe late at night after your family goes to bed.
Maybe during your planning period.
Maybe on Sundays when the anxiety about Monday starts creeping in.

You've googled.
You've listened to podcasts.
You've followed a few people online.
You've imagined what it could look like.

And at the same time… you've talked yourself out of it just as quickly.

You've thought:
"Who do I think I am?"
"Is this even realistic?"
"What if I fail?"
"What if I can't make it work financially?"
"What if I mess this up for my family?"
"What if I'm not ready yet?"

Let's have an honest conversation... the kind I wish someone had sat down and had with me before I tried to figure everything out on my own.

So if you're thinking about starting a microschool in 2026…
This is what you need to hear first.

You love teaching.
You love kids.
You feel called to something more.

But at the same time… you're tired.

You're tired of systems that don't work.
Tired of watching kids fall through the cracks.
Tired of giving your whole heart to a job that leaves you drained, underpaid, and questioning if you can keep doing this long-term.

And somewhere deep inside of you, there's a dream that keeps tapping you on the shoulder.

A dream of starting a microschool.
Or launching a homeschool hybrid.
Or opening a tutoring business.
Or finally selling the resources you know teachers desperately need.

But every time you start thinking about it, the overwhelm rushes in.

Where do I even start?
What's legal?
Do I need a building?
How do I afford this?
Am I crazy for wanting something different?

Today's episode is for the teacher who feels stuck between burnout and a dream she can't let go of.

And I want to walk you through five foundational steps that will help you move from
"I'm overwhelmed" to "I finally know where to start."
