In this episode, Rachel Cicioni explores how self-doubt can follow teachers out of the classroom and into entrepreneurship. After years of burnout, she found that a lack of self-trust showed up in her branding, pricing, boundaries, and client selection.
Rachel shares the lessons she learned from underpricing, overdelivering, and making fear-based decisions as well as what changed when she began trusting her instincts instead of outsourcing her authority. This conversation highlights why building a sustainable teacher business requires confidence, clear boundaries, and self-trust.
