We've been there, and it's not fun. That's why you NEED to join us at the Empowered Mastermind live event.
Imagine having the tools and strategies to support authentic language acquisition for your students and their engagement, but also the mindset tools to handle those difficult moments. Instead of fighting, freezing, or fleeing, you can stand grounded in your values, shed a few tears, reflect, and close the door feeling joyful.
That's the transformation waiting for you after this live event. It's not a magic pill or a perfect recipe, but it's a robust framework you can return to whenever things don't go as planned—because that will happen!
That's why you're here... It is time for change.
Because you're more than just a teacher—you deserve more than just good strategies. It's time to play BIG inside and outside the classroom.
This live event isn't just about tools, strategies, or inspiration for your class. It's about empowering you as a WHOLE educator. We'll work on your mindset, help you identify and eliminate your limiting beliefs, and arm you with the boundaries you need—yes, for YOURSELF.
Imagine if...
- You felt more confident and empowered inside and outside the classroom.
- Teaching became a source of joy and passion, rekindling your love for language education.
- You had a clear understanding of how to lead your learners effectively.

Heyyy! I'm La Maestra Loca!
Elementary Spanish teacher, Teacher Coach and Cheerleader, Mommy, Bonus Mommy, Wife, Travel nut, Tattoo Enthusiast, and cheap red wine connoisseur.
I’m a teacher JUST LIKE YOU, which makes my approach to coaching and teaching unique!
The last few years have been INTENSE. The amount we've been asked to "take on" just keeps growing and the mental and emotional toll it takes is more than any of us like to think about.
I am SO eager for you to experience the transformation, that can come from a shift in mindset and pedagogy that we will be sharing in this mastermind!
Meet Claudia and Annabelle
We cannot wait to support you!
¡Hola! I'm Claudia!
High School Spanish Teacher, Mom of two, and a passionate advocate for language acquisition.
Teaching wasn't my first career, and like many of you, I've faced self-doubt inside and outside the classroom. But one day, I decided to equip myself with knowledge and tools that would transform my impact on students.
I used to rely heavily on textbooks and grammar, only to realize that true language acquisition goes beyond those boundaries. Today, I'm a teacher coach, podcast enthusiast, and host dedicated to sharing my experiences with language educators worldwide.
That's why I cannot wait for you to join in on this mastermind experience, where we will help you to win inside and outside the class.
