From Educator to Entrepreneur: How Rayna Rokicki Turned Her Passion into a Podcasting Career

Rayna Rokicki’s career journey is a testament to the power of reinvention.

After working as a middle and high school teacher overseas, Covid forced her and her family to return to the U.S.—and pushed her to rethink her career path. What started as a virtual assistant role quickly evolved into producing podcasts for women entrepreneurs, launching her own shows, and ultimately, stepping into podcast growth coaching full-time.

In this episode, Rayna shares how she embraced new opportunities, learned from failures, and used her teaching background to empower entrepreneurs through podcasting. We dive into imposter syndrome, why women tend to undervalue their skills, and the importance of thinking bigger to create success on your terms. Rayna also breaks down how podcasting can be a game-changer for building authority, attracting clients, and growing a business—without relying on sponsors.

If you're navigating a career pivot or looking to use your voice to build your brand, this episode is packed with insights to help you take the next step.
