Episode 1 – I Never Planned to Homeschool but This Changed Everything

May 14, 2020

What if the thing you swore you’d never do became the best decision of your life? I never imagined myself as a homeschooling parent. I didn’t think I had the patience, the time, or—honestly—the desire. But life had other plans, and what started as an unexpected detour turned into one of the greatest blessings for my family and my business.

If you’ve ever felt torn between homeschooling and running a business, you’re not alone. Many entrepreneurs worry they can’t do both successfully—but what if I told you it’s not only possible, it’s also freeing?
