If you’re an educator who wants more - more income, more impact, more confidence, and more freedom - you’re in the right place. Lessons in Freedom is the weekly podcast for educators who want to monetise their skills, start a side business, or scale the education business they’ve already built. Whether you’re dreaming of your first $1,000 or you’re ready to grow beyond the ceiling you’ve hit on your own, this podcast will show you the next step. My journey started in the classroom, overwhelmed and burnt out, creating resources simply to cope. Sharing them turned into my first $50… and eventually into multiple education businesses - one that grew to seven figures and another that reached well beyond six. Along the way, I’ve supported hundreds of thousands of educators globally to feel less overwhelmed in their classrooms, mentored hundreds more to monetise their skills, and become a sought-after speaker sharing my story to inspire educators to stop asking for permission and step into who they’re becoming. I’ve done all of this while raising a young, neuro-spicy family, and learning how to build a business that supports my life instead of swallowing it. And because I remember so clearly what it felt like to do it all without a road map, without a mentor, and without anyone saying “you can want more”… This podcast is the support that I needed but never had, and now it’s yours. Hosted by Australian educator, multi-business owner and mentor - Julia Chalmers delivers solo episodes that blend mindset, money, business strategy, and the identity shifts that help educators break their income ceiling, find clarity, and build a life anchored in freedom.

    Are you an educator who’s ready for more income, more impact, and more freedom? Whether ‘more’ means earning a little extra on the side, stepping out of the classroom entirely, or scaling a multi-six figure education business that supports your family and your lifestyle… you’re in the right place.  Lessons in Freedom is the podcast for educators who want choice. Choice in how they work. Choice in how they earn. Choice in how they live, parent, and show up in the world.   Inside this show, your host Julia Chalmers - educator, mum, and multi–six and seven-figure edu-preneur - shares the honest lessons from growing multiple education-based businesses alongside motherhood, navigating the identity shift from teacher to biz owner, and building scalable offers without burning out.   This podcast is where we talk about real freedom. Freedom that also looks different for everyone. For some, it’s choosing the days you work. For others, it’s staying on maternity leave as long as you want. Maybe it’s taking your family on holiday without checking the price first… or finally stepping fully out of the classroom and letting your expertise create income and impact far beyond where you started.   Each episode gives you a blend of: • Stories that make you feel seen • Strategy you can actually apply • Mindset shifts that change what you believe is possible • Systems that make business simpler, scalable, and sustainable   Whether you’re dreaming of your first $1,000 or you’re already serving thousands of teachers and want your next level… this podcast will meet you where you are and help you expand what you believe is possible for your life. If you’re ready to build a business and a life that gives you more options, more confidence, and more freedom - welcome to Lessons in Freedom.
