Are you constantly running out of time, trying to juggle motherhood and your TPT business? You're not alone! But, the good news is that it's possible to achieve a balance that you feel good about, and today's episode is about how one teacher seller is making it all happen.

Today's guest is Melissa Martinez, the owner of That One Cheerful Classroom. Melissa started as an upper elementary teacher and is now a work-from-home mom, but only works a few hours a day. When she started taking her TPT store more seriously, she learned a lot about using her data to drive decision-making and leverage SEO to grow her sales.

It can be challenging to balance your time between TPT and caring for your kids or between TPT and working full-time as a teacher! But Melissa shares how she can grow her business, be a present mom, and only work 2-3 hours per day.
