3: Teachers Making Money Online: Is It Wrong to Want More?
If you’ve ever felt a little guilty for wanting to make money outside the classroom—you’re not alone.
Maybe you’ve wondered if starting a TPT store or selling your resources somehow means you’re not “in it for the right reasons.”
Maybe you’ve told yourself: “I should be grateful for what I have.”
But here’s the truth: wanting more isn’t wrong—it’s human.
In this episode, I’m diving into the guilt so many teachers carry around money, and I’ll share 3 powerful mindset shifts that helped me finally release the shame and own my desire for more time, more income, and more freedom.
I also share one of my favorite quotes from Joseph Murphy’s book, Maximize Your Potential Through the Power of Your Subconscious Mind to Create Wealth and Success, which I highly recommend.
That one sentence changed everything for me—and I hope it does the same for you.
💡 In this episode:
-
Why teacher guilt around money is so common (and where it comes from)
-
3 mindset shifts to help you release shame and start owning your value

After teaching for over 30 years and having the honor of working with Monica, she has inspired me to step out to take that step as I needed to supplement my retirement income. She helped provide guidance and encouragement to start my online business. While I didn’t take the TPT route, I have successfully created over 20 books and gave my art career a new spark that it needed to flourish.
