Ep 390: Weaving the Tapestry of Calling: How Microschool Mastermind Lauren Talbot Built a Thriving Microschool in Just 4 Months with her Mother
10/14/2025
How do you go from hearing a quiet tug on your heart to building a thriving microschool in only four months?
In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Talbot—former accountant, middle school math teacher, and now the founder of The Anchor Learning Center in Louisiana. From her one-stoplight town, Lauren followed God’s unmistakable call to leave public education and step into something completely new: creating a homeschool hybrid microschool.
Lauren shares how she describes her journey as “weaving the tapestry of my calling and destiny”—a beautiful, faith-filled story that began the day she buckled her seatbelt, drove away from her classroom, and received a life-changing phone call that confirmed her next steps. Today, just four months later, she and her mom are serving 30 students alongside student interns, bringing her vision to life and transforming her community.
Lauren is also a proud member of our Microschool Masterminds community—a supportive network of founders who, like her, are guided step-by-step through building, growing, and sustaining their microschools and homeschool hybrids. In this episode, you’ll also hear how the Mastermind has helped Lauren find encouragement, strategies, and clarity as she stepped into leadership.
If you’ve ever wondered…
Could I really build a microschool from scratch—even in a small town?
How do I follow God’s call when it feels risky or “taboo”?
Where do I find a community of people who understand this journey?
…then this story will inspire and empower you.
✨ Press play to hear Lauren’s powerful testimony of surrender, faith, and courage—and discover how Microschool Masterminds can help you weave the tapestry of your own calling.
Starting a microschool comes with incredible joy—but it also comes with the pressure of making everyone happy: parents, students, even your staff. If you’ve ever felt the weight of parent expectations on your shoulders, this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, I’m pulling back the curtain on how new founders can manage parent pressure without burning out. We’ll talk about: ✨ Why boundaries are essential for your sanity and your school’s success ✨ How proactive communication reduces conflict and builds trust ✨ The reality that confidence doesn’t come overnight—it grows with systems, support, and consistency ✨ Practical ways to onboard parents, clarify expectations, and foster community involvement
And most importantly, I’ll remind you that you are not alone. What if you had a community of founders who reminded you that you’re not crazy for doing this—and helped you do it well? That’s exactly why I created Microschool Masterminds and the Open House Playbook. These resources are designed to give you the clarity, tools, and encouragement you need to lead with confidence.

Ep 389: What Microschool Leaders Need Most in October! Building Strong School Culture, Engaging Parents and Community, and Planning for Growth with Clarity and Confidence
10/7/2025
October is a turning point for microschool leaders, homeschool hybrid founders, and small school visionaries. The excitement of the first weeks has settled, the routines are in place, and now comes the opportunity to either drift into burnout—or intentionally recalibrate for the months ahead.
In this episode of the Teacher Let Your Light Shine Podcast, Makenzie Oliver unpacks exactly what microschool leaders need in October: a renewed focus on culture, systems, and community. Learn how to prevent burnout by aligning your team’s strengths, build trust and momentum with parents through a Parent Advisory Committee, and expand your school’s reach with a Community Advisory Board of local leaders.
We’ll talk about financial and operational checkpoints every school should hit this month, the power of an annual engagement plan to simplify communication, and how to strengthen parent and student relationships through intentional touchpoints. Whether you’re building your microschool, growing enrollment, or scaling your vision for impact, this episode gives you clarity, connection, and concrete steps to move into the rest of the year with confidence.

Ep 388: Reconnecting to Your Roots as a Microschool Leader: Preventing Burnout, Building Parent & Community Advisory Boards, and Using Personality Frameworks to Grow a Thriving Microschool Culture
9/30/2025
As a microschool founder or homeschool hybrid leader, it’s easy to get caught up in curriculum, enrollment, finances, and the daily logistics of running a school—but one of the most powerful growth multipliers you have is reconnecting to your roots and knowing your people. In this episode of the Teacher Let Your Light Shine Podcast, Makenzie Oliver shares how understanding your team’s natural strengths, communication styles, and motivators can prevent burnout, reduce conflict, and build trust in your microschool community. You’ll learn why personality frameworks are a game-changing tool for school leaders, teachers, and even parents as you create alignment and foster a healthy school culture.
We’ll also dive into the difference between creating a Parent Advisory Committee and a Community Advisory Board, how both structures can expand your reach and support, and why finding your tribe is essential for sustainable growth. Plus, Makenzie reveals how her team built an annual engagement board in just two hours, mapping out three months of school events, parent touchpoints, and staff communication that alleviated stress and gave clarity. Whether you’re starting a microschool, leading a homeschool hybrid, or scaling your private school alternative, this episode equips you with practical leadership strategies to build stronger relationships, enhance parent involvement, and plan with purpose.
Inside Microschool Masterminds, members have access to 9 self-serve modules to guide you on your journey of building, growing, and scaling your microschool. Each month brings fresh resources, and for October you’ll receive:

9/23/2025
What does it look like to step out of traditional education and wait on God’s timing to build something completely new?
In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Jennifer Pinto, co-founder of Logos Homeschool Academy in Iowa. After leaving traditional schooling in 2023, Jennifer connected with a like-minded friend—whom she met in the library—and together they launched a homeschool hybrid program rooted in faith, family, and freedom.
With a deep conviction and a clear understanding of Iowa’s homeschool laws, Jennifer and her partner were able to form their LLC and bring their vision to life. But it wasn’t an easy road—Jennifer shares how “knowing her why” carried her through trials and tribulations, keeping her focused on her calling.
As an incredible contributor in our Microschool Masterminds community, Jennifer has embraced coaching, mentorship, and collaboration. From one-on-one coaching to ongoing membership support, she has even budgeted professional development into her monthly finances—a true testament to her dedication to growth, leadership, and sustainability.
Jennifer’s story will inspire you if you’ve ever asked:
How do I start a microschool or homeschool hybrid when I don’t know where to begin?
What role does faith play when the road feels uncertain?
Where can I find a community to walk with me through trials and victories?
Her journey is one of shepherding her calling, waiting on God’s timing, and persevering through seasons of challenge.
✨ Press play to hear Jennifer’s testimony of courage, conviction, and clarity—and discover how Microschool Masterminds can help you grow your own vision into reality.

Ep 385: A Mother’s Heart, a Founder’s Struggle: Navigating the Heartbreak and Hope of School Choices
9/9/2025
For six years, I’ve poured my heart into building a microschool—creating a place of freedom, belonging, and personalized learning. My daughters were the reason I started this journey. And yet, today, neither of them are with us at our microschool.
In this episode, I open up about:
My daughter’s transition from a small, nurturing microschool environment into the overwhelm of middle school.
My other daughter’s leap from being “homegrown” in our microschool to navigating the struggles of public school—and what that has meant for our family.
The stress, meltdowns, and dysregulation kids face when systems don’t meet their needs.
My personal reflections as a mom and a school founder—what I would have done differently, and what I’m learning now.
This conversation isn’t just my story—it’s for every parent torn between options, every teacher leaving a broken system, and every microschool builder wondering if they’re enough. You’ll hear not just the heartbreak, but also the hope of finding the right support systems and building something better for our kids.
✨ You are not alone in this. Together, we’re navigating school choices with courage, conviction, and community.
👉 If this story resonates, consider joining Microschool Masterminds—a place where educators and parents come together to find support, strategies, and hope for the future of education.

9/2/2025
Behind every thriving microschool is a leader who is juggling 1,000 spinning plates — curriculum, enrollment, parent communication, staff management, and personal life. In this candid behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing the honest truth about what’s actually saving my sanity right now as a microschool founder…and what’s not.
You’ll hear the daily routines, systems, and decisions that keep me grounded, plus the areas where I’m still struggling. From communication systems that finally work to the non-negotiables I’ve built into my week, I’m laying out the real practices that keep burnout at bay.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I the only one feeling this way?” or “How do I hold it all together without losing myself?” — this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone, and that building the right routines and systems will free you to lead with confidence and clarity.

Ep 383: Reset Your Microschool Systems Before Burnout Hits The 4 Week System and Routine to Finally Get Organized and Free
8/26/2025
Running a microschool requires relentless focus, clarity, and strong systems. If you’re spinning your wheels every September—re-creating lesson plans, re-building operations, and re-learning the same organizational habits—you’re headed straight for overwhelm.
In this episode, I walk you through a 4-Week Reset System that will help you:
Audit what’s working (and cut what’s not).
Build repeatable systems that save time, money, and sanity.
Create a weekly routine that keeps you in CEO mode instead of teacher-scramble mode.
Position yourself to grow without burning out.
Burnout doesn’t hit all at once—it builds slowly through disorganization, lack of delegation, and broken systems. By hitting reset NOW, you can protect your vision, expand your capacity, and step fully into your role as the confident, prepared, and effective leader your school needs.

Inside our Mastermind, you’ll gain access to the proven playbooks, legal/financial clarity, and operational strategies that hundreds of microschool leaders are using to scale sustainably.

These episodes will have you saying, "I needed this!!" And they are BACK to remind you - you are not alone. You are doing something so bold - and it's worth it.

When it comes to choosing curriculum, the idea can be both exciting and overwhelming! How do I choose? What's going to work the best? Self-paced or teacher/parent directed? Will my students enjoy it? Will my child be successful? What if I don't like teaching it or my students hate doing it? What works best for multi-age students?
I see you! I hear you! That's why, after 3 years, I have a very systematic process that helps me look at choosing curriculum as if it were a project with many moving pieces! I share how I use a project management board, called MeisterTask, to organize my ideas and notes. In addition, I share how I get the ball moving with very specific questions that allow me to gather enough evidence to make a good decision - even if it's not a perfect one!

Welcome to the First Episode of "Teacher, Let Your Light Shine"! The world needs YOU, Teacher Friend, to step out in faith and design the life you LOVE as a teacher so you can make a BIG impact on our future generations! Today I'm here to share how this happened to me!
In this podcast, I will share my experience as a classroom teacher, instructional coach and what ultimately led me to creating a homeschooling business! I know there are so many more teachers who would love this opportunity, and I want to share this with you! I hope you are given a fresh perspective into what possibilities lie ahead of you in your teaching journey.
I am in Year 2 of beginning a dream school- Lighthouse Learning! I left public school 2 years ago, looking for purpose, freedom and JOY! Never did I think I would be homeschooling my own children, let alone other children. But God had his hands in all of this, and He made a way! Enjoy!

Ep 376: Scaling Back to Show Up: From Burnout to Breakthrough in Microschool Leadership — Why Subtracting Is the Key to Thriving This School Year
7/15/2025
Are you feeling the weight of trying to do everything as a microschool founder, homeschooling parent, or educational entrepreneur? You’re not alone. In this heartfelt and practical episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to lead a microschool into a new school year — without burning out in the process.
I’m sharing how I’m intentionally scaling back in order to show up fully — for my family, my team, my students, and myself. You’ll hear how the powerful phrase “Subtract to Multiply” has reshaped the way I’m planning for the upcoming school year, and why I chose the word THRIVE to guide everything I do.
From stepping back to one podcast episode a week, to reworking my schedule at Lighthouse Learning, to navigating a season of deep personal reflection after almost losing our school location — this is a behind-the-scenes look at how I’m preparing for a school year that actually feels right.
This episode is for:
Microschool founders who are tired of surviving and want to thrive
Teachers-turned-leaders juggling family, business, and faith
Anyone who’s been burned out and knows something has to change
Visionaries ready to build something quality, not just bigger
If you’ve ever questioned your capacity, felt the pressure to “do it all,” or just need a reminder that you can lead with peace, clarity, and purpose—this episode is for you.
We’ll talk real-life strategies for simplifying your schedule, using the tools you already have (hello, MicroSchool Masterminds Planner 🙌), and making decisions from a place of alignment — not anxiety.
👂 Tune in for a mix of storytelling, strategy, and soul care that will leave you inspired, equipped, and ready to step into the school year with confidence.

Ep 374: How To Market When You're Shy: A Real Talk and 5 Tips for Introverted & Neurodivergent Microschool Founders
7/4/2025
I used to freeze at the thought of “marketing my school.” I’m not naturally outgoing. I’ve always been more of a behind-the-scenes, let-me-do-the-work-in-peace kind of woman. And for a long time, I thought that meant I wasn’t cut out to grow a successful microschool. All I kept hearing was: “You need to network more,” “You need to post every day,” “You have to sell yourself,” and honestly... I just wanted to crawl into a hole.
If you’ve ever felt like that—if you’re introverted, neurodivergent, shy, or just burned out by the pressure to show up all the time—I made this episode just for you. You don’t need to change who you are to lead a thriving microschool. You don’t need to fake confidence or become someone else to market well. You just need aligned systems and support that work with your personality, not against it.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through how I market my school quietly but powerfully, how I connect with families in a way that feels authentic, and how you can protect your peace while still building a sustainable school. You’ll learn that you’re not broken—you’re built for this. And you can lead from a place of calm, clarity, and conviction.

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
7/1/2025
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.
