0. Welcome to Lessons in Freedom with Julia Chalmers

November 20, 2025

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.

I’m so glad you’re here.
