Ep 373: Feeling Lonely as a Microschool Founder? How to Ask for Help, Build Support Systems, and Stop Carrying the Weight Alone—Even When You Don’t Know Where to Begin

There were so many days I felt completely alone. I didn’t even know how to ask for help—because I didn’t know what kind of help I needed. I just knew I couldn’t keep doing everything by myself.

Maybe you're in that place too. You’re carrying the vision. You’re showing up for everyone else. But deep down, you’re tired… and wondering who’s showing up for you.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the loneliest parts of leading a microschool—and how I found my way out. Not with a perfect plan. Not with a huge team. But with one honest question: “Can you help me?”

I’ll share what happened when I lost our building, scrambled through commercial properties, and had to lean harder than ever on the community I didn’t even realize I’d already built.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure how to let others in—this is the episode you’ve been needing.

Because you don’t have to pretend to have it all together. You just need the courage to invite someone in.

And when you do? Everything begins to shift.
