Ep 371: From Lonely to Thriving: How to Build a Microschool Community To Decrease Overwhlem and Increase Results (Even If You Don’t Know Where to Start)

Feeling alone in your microschool journey? Whether you're just starting or several years in, building a microschool community can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to stay that way. In this episode of the Teacher Let Your Light Shine Podcast, I’m sharing how I went from homeschooling a few students in my living room to leading a thriving microschool with a fully engaged Parent Advisory Council and a strong waitlist.

You’ll learn:

• How to involve parents even when you’re small

• What to do in Year 1 to plant seeds of connection

• How to grow word-of-mouth marketing organically

• The difference between asking for help and building advocates

• How to structure sustainable community systems (without burnout)

Whether you’re dreaming, launching, or expanding, you’ll walk away with clear action steps, encouragement, and a reminder: you don’t have to build your school alone.

👥 Plus, I’ll tell you how to join our July Microschool Mastermind for access to my full community-building framework, a plug-and-play parent advocacy team template, and steps to help you grow with clarity and support.
