In this episode, I`m chatting with IDIOM Renata Kucharska

about her journey from a state school teacher to a biz owner, material creator, and mentoring novice teachers.

Renata shares why teachers should move from precarity and uncertainty to setting boundaries and being their captain.

Dive in and browse through Renata`s unique online store, check out her materials and webinars, especially if you`re treading the uneasy waters of freelancing and

give her a follow on Facebook and
