EP 23 - Changing Your Mind

EP 23 - Changing Your Mind

You’re Allowed to Change Your Mind: Open Doors Beyond the Classroom. In this episode, Julia discusses how teachers often face guilt and pressure when considering leaving the classroom or shifting roles, unlike other professions, and asks you to identify whose voices and expectations are influencing your choices.  She offers a framework of “open door” versus “closed door” decisions, arguing most career moves in education are reversible and reframing the key question from “What if I get it wrong?” to the cost of never exploring what’s next.   Julia describes how giving herself permission to want more led within a week to new invitations and opportunities without changing tactics. She invites listeners to join Education Business School, attend her Beyond the Classroom live event in Perth, and connect via Instagram.     If you're ready for the event Sign up: https://www.juliachalmers.com/beyondtheclassroom [https://www.juliachalmers.com/beyondtheclassroom].

Ep 22 - A Little Goes a Long Way

Seven Small Business Moves That Can Change Your Next 12 Months What if the actions that move the needle most in your business aren't the big, complicated ones... but seven small, consistent moves you could start today? In this episode, Julia shares the high-leverage strategies that helped her rebuild from burnout to running two profitable businesses in just 10–16 hours a week, and how you can apply them right now, without falling into shiny strategy syndrome. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN → Why building a waitlist page before your offer exists is one of the smartest moves you can make, and how to use it to collect market research at the same time → How to borrow other people's audiences through collaborations and guest podcasting without feeling salesy → The "anchor content" repurposing method that turns one long-form piece into multiple assets across platforms → When (and how) to ask for testimonials so you actually get them, and where to put them so they do the heavy lifting → The PS strategy that turns every email into a low-pressure sales touchpoint → Why personalising your DMs with first names and voice notes changes the response rate entirely → How to use tools like ManyChat to automate the repetitive link-sending that quietly contributes to burnout Dm on Instagram @JustJuliaChalmers [https://www.instagram.com/justjuliachalmers/] which one you're going with so I can cheer you on!   Perth event Sign up: https://www.juliachalmers.com/beyondtheclassroom [https://www.juliachalmers.com/beyondtheclassroom].

Ep 21 - The Million Dollar Room

What if the women who've made tens of millions of dollars still don't have it all figured out? Julia just came back from a two-day personal brand immersion inside her mentorship and the biggest takeaway wasn't a strategy or a system. It was this... nobody in that room, no matter how successful, had it completely sorted. And somehow, that's the most freeing thing she's heard in a long time. In this episode, Julia gets honest about where she was a year ago (overwhelmed, unclear, just surviving) versus who she showed up as this time, and what the difference actually looks like in practice. She also goes deep on shadow work, the sneaky way your biggest strengths can mask your deepest fears, and the "good scary" goal she's publicly committing to right now. In this episode you'll hear about: →What Julia noticed about her own growth by attending the same immersion a year apart, and why that kind of reflection is so powerful   →The identity shift that happens when you finally get clear on who you serve, and how it changes the way you show up publicly   →Shadow work explained, how your strengths exist on a spectrum with your fears, and what that reveals about what's really holding you back   →Julia's own shadow, the fear of being seen as incompetent or a fraud, and how it's been quietly delaying her dream of running in-person events   →The "good scary" goal she's committing to live on this episode, and how to name and own yours too If you've been waiting until you feel ready, more qualified, or more certain, this episode is your reminder that the next level doesn't require perfection. It just requires the next move.

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.

Ep 19 - The Anti Fail Formula

Do It Scared: Naming Fear, Planning for the Worst, and Moving Forward Can you really build a thriving education business while fear is sitting right there in the passenger seat? And the answer is...Yes! In this episode of Lessons in Freedom, I get real about what it means to do it scared. Fear doesn't disappear when you start building a business, you just learn to work with it. I break down the difference between good scary (the kind that pulls you toward growth) and bad scary (a hard no your gut is giving you), and share my own stories of teaching while building, launching a mastermind, and staring down worst-case scenarios to come out the other side. Spoiler... working through the fear worked. In this episode you'll hear about: → The difference between "good scary" and "bad scary", and why knowing which one you're dealing with changes everything → How I used worst-case scenario planning to launch my mastermind with confidence, even when my biggest fear was what people would think → Why writing down your emergency plan is one of the most powerful moves you can make before a big launch → A simple three-part framework: name the real fear, build a practical backup plan, and identify what you gain from trying → How support systems make doing it scared so much more doable, and what's coming to help you build yours If you've been sitting on a big idea because the fear feels too loud, this episode is your permission slip to name it, plan for it, and move forward anyway.
