I know what it’s like to feel stuck, scared, but unsure of what's next.
I know, because I've been there. Burnt out, questioning everything, and wondering if wanting something different made me ungrateful.
​
But it didn't - it made me honest.
​
I wanted more freedom, calm, and more me - outside of the band hall. If you're wanting that too, you're not alone.
​
This space was built from that exact turning point - for teachers who are tired, brave, (a little scared), and ready to build something that feels aligned.

My cats - Rowdy and Oyster - run the house. I'm just here to pay the rent and provide body heat.

Hi, I'm Michelle! A mentor for burnt out teachers who want to build a life where they come first.
​
After nearly a decade in the classroom, I hit a wall - and boy, did I hit it hard. Burnout engulfed my entire reality.
I knew something had to change - FMLA, therapy, IOP, and tons of internet searches to find my next step.
I found Virtual Assistants that were living a life I could only dream of. So, I started my own VA business. It gave me flexibility, breathing room, and a source of income that didn't drain my energy to 0.
And over time, I realized—I did miss teaching… just not the classroom.
​
Now, I guide teachers like you from burnout and frustration, to clarity, empowerment, with real income.
I'm not here to push hustle culture or overnight success. I'm here to help you build something softer, slower, and rooted in what YOU need now.
Because I know what it feels like to give your whole heart to a job that leaves you empty.
To feel like you're constantly pouring from a cup that's been dry for months.
To wonder if you're broken—or just burnt out.
I don’t believe teachers should have to hit rock bottom to earn a life that feels good.
And I definitely don’t believe the only way out is corporate.
