Let me tell you something—before the pandemic, I had a cute little coaching business on the side. Nothing fancy, just a few clients here and there while I kept my steady 9-to-5. It wasn’t paying all the bills, but it gave me joy, and I knew deep down it could be something if I just had the time and energy to pour into it.You got into this work to make a difference—real change, real impact.
You’ve got the heart, the degrees, the receipts. But now? You’re tired. Overworked, underpaid, and wondering how the hell you’re supposed to build something that actually honors your purpose and pays your bills.
You’re not alone. I see you.
The truth is, no one ever taught us how to take our brilliance—our lived experience, our social work expertise—and market it. Nobody pulled us aside and said,
“Hey sis, here’s how you turn what you know into a business people will actually pay for.”
Instead, we were trained to serve systems that never served us.
And now you’re out here thinking maybe it’s you—maybe you’re not doing enough. But let me tell you something right now:
You’re not lazy. You’re not behind. You’re not doing it wrong.
You just need a roadmap.
A clear, unapologetic path to build a business that reflects your values, uses your voice, and gives you the freedom you’ve earned.
That’s where the Social Work Entrepreneur Academy comes in.
Because it’s time for you to stop surviving—and start building something that’s yours. For real.
