🎙️ Episode 14 – The Emotional Side of Starting a Teacher Business: What No One Tells You

If you’ve ever started a business, a podcast, or even a big goal—only to hit a wall and wonder, “Why does this feel so hard?”—this episode is for you.


In The 12 Week Year, Brian Moran describes the Emotional Cycle of Change, a five-stage process that every entrepreneur goes through when pursuing something meaningful. And girl—once I understood this cycle, it changed everything.


In this episode, I’m breaking down:



  • The 5 emotional stages of starting and growing a business

  • Why most people quit in the middle (and how not to)

  • How this cycle has shown up in my own story (more than once)

  • The truth about success: it’s not about being fearless—it’s about going anyway





Whether you’re dreaming about starting or you’re stuck in the messy middle, I want to help you normalize the process, push through the doubt, and keep going—because what’s waiting on the other side is so worth it.
