You didn’t go through all that just to stay broke, burned out, and overlooked. When Dr. Annise Mabry created Tiers Free Academy, it wasn’t about launching a business — it was about saving her own children from a system that had failed them.

In this episode of Educational Disobedience, Dr. Mabry shares how you can take the pain and purpose of your advocacy and turn it into profit — without compromising your integrity. Whether you dream of starting a homeschool cooperative, offering guidance to other families, or creating resources for your community, this episode shows you what’s possible — and why you’re allowed to thrive while you help others do the same. Come undone. Leave whole. Rise into you — and get paid to exist.  What you’ll take away from this episode: - Why earning income doesn’t mean selling out your mission - How Dr. Mabry built a business from her family’s story - Examples of how you can turn advocacy into income - How to stay aligned with your values while creating abundance If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your passion into something sustainable — this is your roadmap.
