Ep 20 - When No-one Is In Your Corner
What happens when the people who should cheer you on are the ones tearing you down?
Most teachers are generous, supportive, and genuinely excited to see their colleagues win. But I'm here to talk about the ones who aren't... the educators who get vicious when someone dares to build something outside the traditional lane.
In this episode, we get real about the criticism that comes with building an education business. The Facebook pile-ons, the harsh DMs, the "you need a psychology degree for that" gatekeeping.
I also share exactly how I've learned to handle it.
Spoiler: you don't owe anyone a reply.
In this episode you'll hear about:
→ Why colleagues can get especially "weird" when you start monetising your skills, and why it says more about them than you
→ My own hater moments, including ridicule about anxiety and holiday prep, and what she actually did with them
→ The credentials-vs-lived-experience debate and how to hold your ground when someone tries to disqualify you
→ A practical toolkit for handling criticism, when to block, when to respond, how to lead with agreement, and how to interrupt the rumination spiral
→ Why if you're the most ambitious person in the room, you're in the wrong room, and how to find your people
If you've ever held back because you were afraid of what your colleagues might say, this episode is the pep talk you didn't know you needed.
