Rhapsody Jordan-Parisi has been figuring out how to balance the “teacher life” for almost 20 years. As a wife, mother of 4, full-time high school English teacher, and part-time writer, she knows firsthand how difficult (and important) it is to balance work and life without burning out in either space.
She began teaching in 2005, earning her MA in 2009 and National Board Certification in 2011. In 2023, she launched her website and blog, TightropeTeaching.com, where she helps overwhelmed teachers reclaim their time and peace of mind through support, encouragement, intentional strategies, and resources. Rhapsody has a genuine passion for helping others, and Tightrope Teaching enables her to extend that reach outside the walls of her own workplace. What a blessing it’s been to connect with teachers from all over the world!

America turns 250 years old next summer. And as we approach this incredible milestone, the Herzog Foundation is launching the Freedom Tour—a national event series celebrating the history and hope of America. It’s a powerful reminder that our freedoms—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—aren’t government-made, they’re God-given.
The Freedom Tour invites you to experience how faith shaped our founding- and to carry that message into your classrooms, your homes, and your communities.
And that’s not all. Starting this summer, the Herzog Foundation is also releasing a new video series called Faith & Freedom 250. Every Friday, you’ll hear voices from across America—teachers, parents, pastors, and leaders—sharing powerful stories from our nation’s history and reminding us why our founding values still matter today. Learn more and follow along at FreedomTour250.com.
