    Season 2 of Educational Disobedience: The Podcast is here! In this powerful opening episode, Dr. Annise Mabry shares why she almost didn’t return for a second season — and the listener messages that reminded her why this movement matters.

    • Reflects on the turning point that kept her behind the mic
    • Explains the difference between testimony and toolkit
    • Shares how she’s turning personal stories into strategies you can use
    • Unpacks what it means to experience the sweet taste of change
    • Offers a reflection prompt to help you name and claim your own transformation
    This episode sets the tone for a bold new season featuring guest interviews, trauma-informed insights, and unapologetic lessons in leadership, education, and life. ✨ Reflection Prompt: What’s one change in your life — big or small — that finally tastes sweet now? 🎧 Listen in and discover why the sweetest change often comes after the hardest fight.

  • Ep 8 Passion to Profit from Advocacy to Income

    Ep 8 Passion to Profit from Advocacy to Income
    Jul 12 2025
    You didn’t go through all that just to stay broke, burned out, and overlooked. When I created Tiers Free Academy, it wasn’t about launching a business. It was about saving my children from a system that had failed them. But what started as a personal act of love evolved into a community movement. I began showing families that their educational trauma could be transformed into opportunity for themselves and for others.

    In this episode of Educational Disobedience, I share 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 I built a business from my 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.

Discover how small, brave choices can spark big change, what fear really means (hint: you’re on the right path), and why your voice — even when it shakes — is powerful enough to move mountains.

    • Why you don’t need a perfect plan to get started
    • What educational disobedience looks like in real life
