About Me

Me & my buddy Sparky. He’s one of my build-a-bears from childhood. I’m a true 90’s kid. Oh, and I made him that shirt!

8 years ago, I quit teaching for good. My body couldn’t take it anymore. My health was deteriorating. I knew deep down that working in the classroom wasn’t a sustainable career path for me. I was devastated, but also determined.

Thankfully, I’m known for being a bit unconventional (which made me a target for childhood bullies, ugh) and it worked in my favor. I discovered I could use my love of teaching to make money online on my own terms! And best of all, no boss. Hooray!

It all began with my online tutoring business in 2018. Since then, I’ve made money over $80K online in a multitude of ways — teaching, courses, coaching, sponsorships, memberships, affiliate marketing, & the list goes on!

Let’s go back to the early 2000’s…

This little girl is my WHY. It’s little Sonia. I know she would be so proud & relieved to see where I am today.

I was bullied a lot as a child. In 4th grade, I worked super hard on making this poster about India. The teacher said I did a bad job. Little did I know that most kids had their parents helping them put stuff together…. I did everything on my own.

I truly believe I had so many gifts to share with the world, but the things that made me stand out were the things that got me bullied.

That is why I had a strong conviction to homeschool my kids. I wanted them to love learning, not just work to get good grades. I want them to be proud of their unique gifts instead of feeling like they have to hide them in order to fit in.

In more recent years…

After a decade of suffering from chronic pain, my life changed in 2024 when I found the right team of physical therapists. I also totally transformed my diet, and lost almost 30 pounds! I am now more physically active than I have been in the last 10 years.

I went from struggling to walk a few blocks to completing my first 5k race in March 2024. Miracles happen. 🙏🏽
