  • Ep 398: When the Dream Isn’t Big Enough Anymore? What It Really Means to ReDream Education and How it Impacts YOU as a Teacher

    Ep 398: When the Dream Isn’t Big Enough Anymore? What It Really Means to ReDream Education and How it Impacts YOU as a Teacher
    Dec 9 2025
    When I started my microschool at my dining room table with six children during the pandemic, I thought that was the dream. I thought my purpose was simply to create a safe space for a handful of kids while the world felt uncertain. What I didn’t realize then—what I can see so clearly now—is that the school I started wasn’t the dream. It was the seed of the dream. And seeds always know how to become more. In this episode, I’m sharing what it truly means to ReDream your life, your school, and your purpose as a teacher, leader, or future microschool founder. This conversation is deeply personal and sets the stage for the historic transition happening in Episode 400—from Teacher Let Your Light Shine to the new movement: ReDream Education. Over the last year, I have been in a constant process of ReDreaming. I’ve redreamed my school model. I’ve redreamed how I support neurodivergent and gifted students. I’ve redreamed how I coach teachers, founders, and educational leaders. I’ve redreamed the entire way I serve this community. And this episode is where I reveal the truth: A dream is innocent—but a ReDream is informed. A ReDream is the evolution that happens when your dream grows bigger than the place it started. WHAT I SHARE IN THIS EPISODE 💡 What a “dream” actually is—and why it often becomes too small I break down the real definition of a dream: a spark, a whisper, a possibility, a longing for something better. And I explain why dreams can shrink, break, or become misaligned as you evolve. This is foundational for educators and founders who feel stuck, burnt out, or ready to leave traditional systems. 🔥 What it means to ReDream your life, your classroom, or your school A ReDream is not a revision—it's a rebirth. It’s the process of reclaiming what you buried, releasing the pieces that no longer fit, and expanding the vision you were once afraid to claim. This applies directly to: teachers wanting to start a microschool educators transitioning out of the classroom founders building homeschool hybrids leaders designing personalized, mastery-based learning models 🏫 How I have redreamed Lighthouse Learning Microschool I share the full evolution—from my home to a multi-room campus—and how we now operate as a national example of: multi-age teaching mastery-based and personalized learning PACE + Exact Path systems entrepreneurship and trades pathways Toastmasters for kids social-emotional and neurodivergent-support models This is powerful for anyone searching terms like: microschool framework, how to start a school, homeschool hybrid model, mastery-based education, personalized learning systems. 🌟 The birth of Bright Pathways & the Lighthouse Learning Foundation I explain how we created a full support model for: neurodivergent learners gifted and advanced students academic intervention therapeutic partnerships individualized learning plans resilience and executive functioning And how the Foundation now provides scholarships, access, and family support. Educators often search for this under: “neurodivergent school models,” “gifted education programs,” “microschool scholarships,” “Special Education alternatives,” “nonprofit educational support.” 🎙 Why I had to redream my podcast, my programs, and my identity as a leader I speak honestly about: ending 1:1 coaching redesigning Microschool Masterminds moving from encouragement to full-scale leadership expanding beyond teachers into national education innovation preparing for the launch of ReDream Education Teacher Let Your Light Shine Microschool, Learning Pod, Tutoring and Homeschool Business Coaching Launch and Scale Your Microschool or Homeschool Hybrid by Maximizing Your Time, Optimizing Your Finances and Mastering Your Marketing!

  • Ep 397: Why Teacher, Let Your Light Shine is ReDreaming Education! My Origin Story, the Rise of Microschools, Future of Learning, & How Teachers, Parents, & Founders Can Build a Better System Together

    Ep 397: Why Teacher, Let Your Light Shine is ReDreaming Education! My Origin Story, the Rise of Microschools, Future of Learning, & How Teachers, Parents, & Founders Can Build a Better System Together
    Dec 2 2025
    In today’s deeply personal and powerful episode, I’m sharing the full story behind why I am officially rebranding Teacher Let Your Light Shine to ReDream Education—and why this evolution matters for teachers, parents, founders, and families who know deep down that the traditional system is no longer working. I take you back to the beginning—my living room, six students, no roadmap, only faith and fear—and walk you through the moment I realized this was bigger than tips for teachers. It had become a movement. A revolution. And a call to redesign education from the ground up. This is not “just” a new name. It’s a new chapter… a bigger vision… and a home for dreamers ready to build something different. ⭐ In This Episode, I Share: ✨ My full origin story How Lighthouse Learning started with 6 kids in my living room, no blueprint, and a dream that felt bigger than me. ✨ The exact moment I knew TLylS had outgrown its container And why I felt God pulling me toward something larger. ✨ The explosion of microschools and why this movement matters How teachers, parents, and founders are reshaping the future of education—right now. ✨ Why the name ReDream Education captures the heart of this mission This new identity is for: teachers longing for purpose again parents craving a better option for their kids founders launching microschools or hybrids current school leaders needing systems, clarity, and courage families searching for personalized, meaningful education options ✨ The updated Microschool Masterminds membership A complete weekly + monthly structure designed to help founders grow strong, sustainable schools: Deep-dive workshop Live group coaching Live Q&A Access to 50+ templates Private chat & community feedback ✨ What this shift means for YOU More clarity. More support. More systems. More purpose. More ROOM for your dream to grow. 💛 Why This Episode Matters Because so many of us—teachers, parents, founders—have been carrying dreams that didn’t fit inside the traditional system. And for years we’ve whispered: “There has to be something more.” “There has to be a better way.” “I know I’m called to this… but I don’t know how.” ReDream Education is the place where we stop whispering… and start building. 🔗 Call to Action If you’re ready to step into the next chapter of your dream—whether you’re a teacher preparing to leave, a parent exploring microschools, or a founder ready to launch or scale—this is your moment.

  • Ep 396: Building a Microschool Through Life’s Biggest Transitions: Maddie Baird’s Story of Faith, Family, and Fearless Leadership

    Ep 396: Building a Microschool Through Life’s Biggest Transitions: Maddie Baird’s Story of Faith, Family, and Fearless Leadership
    Nov 25 2025

    If you’ve ever wondered how to build a microschool while managing major life transitions—or if fear of stepping away has kept you from taking the leap—this episode will encourage and empower you to move forward with faith and clarity.

    In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Madeline Baird, founder of Peak Learning Microschool in Ohio—and yes, she’s 38 weeks pregnant while running her thriving school! We dove deep into her journey, her passion for education, and how she’s balancing motherhood, leadership, and purpose in this season of life.

    Madeline shared her inspiring background as a first-generation college student who started out in youth ministry before earning her degree in Human Development and Family Sciences. Her path took an unexpected turn when she began questioning the “why” behind traditional education systems. That curiosity—and courage to explore new ways of learning—eventually led her across the world to Japan, and later back to the U.S., where she initially described herself as “anti-homeschool.”

    But like so many of us, her heart began to shift. After listening to the Teacher Let Your Light Shine Podcast, Madeline realized she could create something that beautifully blended her love for teaching, her desire to be home with her boys, and her vision for meaningful, student-centered education. That’s when Peak Learning Microschool was born.

    We talked about some of the most common fears people have when starting a microschool—especially around taking time off, maternity leave, or balancing family life with the demands of leading a school. Maddie opened up about her state complaint experience, how she handled it with grace and perseverance, and what she learned through the process.

    She also shared her insights on curriculum design, how she’s learning to step back from day-to-day teaching to focus more on administrative work and long-term growth, and the lessons she’s learned as her school continues to expand.
