Beyond the Hamster Wheel: Reimagining Family Life

Send us a text

Ever feel like life's flying by while you're stuck in the daily grind? That's exactly what sparked our family's quest to create a lifestyle where both parents could be fully present while still meeting financial needs. The struggle is real. How do you break free from conventional employment to enable choices like homeschooling and home birth when the economy demands two incomes just to survive?

Through years of experimentation with traditional jobs, self-employment hustles, and entrepreneurial ventures, we've discovered that financial freedom isn't about get-rich-quick schemes or lottery-style windfalls. It's about fundamental principles often passed down in wealthy families but rarely taught in educational institutions. The wealthy aren't simply lucky - they operate with different knowledge, mindsets, and strategies that anyone can learn with the right guidance.

This marks a new direction for our podcast as we expand beyond home birth stories to explore the entire ecosystem of breaking free from conventional systems. We're creating a community for families seeking alternative paths in birth, education, health, and financial independence. Having welcomed ten children through home birth and educated them entirely outside the school system, we understand the interconnectedness of these choices and the support needed to sustain them.
