Ep 392: Why Every Microschool Founder Needs an Autumn Audit Before the New Year: How to Reflect, Refresh, and Realign Your Vision, Team, and Space for 2025
This month, I’m slowing down — not to plan more, but to see more.
In today’s episode, I’m talking about something I believe every microschool founder needs before stepping into a new year: an Autumn Audit.
I know how it feels to get caught up in the whirlwind of running your school — the lesson plans, family communications, finances, tours, and events. But if we’re not careful, we can move so fast that we stop seeing the beauty of what we’ve built.
The Autumn Audit is a moment to pause and look at your school — or even just the dream of your school — through new eyes.
Whether you’re already open and serving families or you’re just beginning to build, this reflection process helps you realign your space, your systems, and your spirit with the vision God first placed in your heart.
✨ In This Episode, I’m Sharing:
Why reflection is the most important — and often most neglected — leadership skill for microschool founders.
The real reason burnout happens (and how to course-correct before January).
The simple questions I’m asking myself during my own Autumn Audit at Lighthouse Learning.
How to see your microschool through the eyes of your parents, staff, and students — and use that feedback to grow.
What’s included inside this month’s Microschool Masterminds experience, including:
My Autumn Audit Workbook
A Kid-Friendly School Audit Checklist (students love this one!)
The Staff & Community Reflection Guide
And the Parent Post-Tour Follow-Up Template to turn curiosity into connection.
💛 A Word from My Heart:
I created the Autumn Audit because I needed it too.I needed a pause — to breathe, to see clearly, to remember what’s working, and to realign what’s not.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about peace.It’s about giving yourself permission to step out of the rush and rediscover the joy of what you’ve created.
If you’ve been feeling foggy, overwhelmed, or just ready for a refresh — this episode (and this month’s Mastermind content) is your reset button.
