#166: How Homeschooling Her Only Child Turned Him Into a 9-Year-Old Author & Stock Trader
What's in this episode
Most parents ask, “Can I homeschool if I still need to work?” Laresia and her family didn’t just ask that question—they built a life that answers it. In this episode, we talk about what happens when you choose homeschooling before you even become a parent, and how that decision shaped everything—from family connection to raising a child who is already thinking like an entrepreneur. Their 9-year-old son isn’t just learning at home… He’s writing and publishing books, learning stock trading, and building real-world skills most adults were never taught. We also get into: What homeschooling an only child actually looks like (social life + community) How Classical Conversations works in real life Why creativity and imagination often get shut down in traditional school How they approach raising a child without a fixed path The mindset shift that allows families to “level up” without pressure And if you’ve ever wondered how families actually make working + homeschooling work… I break down the patterns I’ve seen from interviewing 200+ families and how you can apply them. If you’re thinking about homeschooling—but feel stuck on the how—this episode will open your mind to what’s possible. Fin
