If you’ve ever felt a little guilty for wanting to make money outside the classroom—you’re not alone.

Maybe you’ve wondered if starting a TPT store or selling your resources somehow means you’re not “in it for the right reasons.”

Maybe you’ve told yourself: “I should be grateful for what I have.”


But here’s the truth: wanting more isn’t wrong—it’s human.

In this episode, I’m diving into the guilt so many teachers carry around money, and I’ll share 3 powerful mindset shifts that helped me finally release the shame and own my desire for more time, more income, and more freedom.


I also share one of my favorite quotes from Joseph Murphy’s book, Maximize Your Potential Through the Power of Your Subconscious Mind to Create Wealth and Success, which I highly recommend.


That one sentence changed everything for me—and I hope it does the same for you.

💡 In this episode:



  • Why teacher guilt around money is so common (and where it comes from)




  • 3 mindset shifts to help you release shame and start owning your value




  • How building a business can be a path to healing—not greed




  • Why your desire to earn is actually a sign that you're growing



If you’ve been craving something that’s yours—something to look forward to, something that reflects your full potential—this episode is for you.
