#166: How Homeschooling Her Only Child Turned Him Into a 9-Year-Old Author & Stock Trader
Description
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.
