Homeschool Moms Make Money - Homeschool Routines, Homeschool Schedules, and Building a Business

If you are a homeschool mom, this first episode of Homeschool Moms Make Money was written for you. Erin Meinel opens the show with the full arc of her story: the $90,000 degree, the decade in early childhood education classrooms, the businesses she built and scaled after becoming a mother, and the moment a burnout and a God-given conviction arrived at the same time and changed everything.
She made a hard stop. Pulled her kids from preschool. Walked away from a six-figure business. And started homeschooling.
This episode is about what that decision cost, why she made it anyway, and what she discovered on the other side about the kind of woman she most wanted to serve. This show is for the homeschool mom who may or may not have a business yet. It is for the one who has something in her that wants more, and just needs the space to figure out what that means.
In this episode:
Why leaving a teaching career to homeschool is never as simple as it looks from the outside
What it actually feels like when burnout and a God-given conviction arrive at the same time
How scaling a business to six figures in less than a year still didn’t answer the question her children were asking
Why not knowing what your calling is yet is not a reason to leave... it might be the best reason to stay
The conviction behind Homeschool Moms Make Money: you do not have to choose between homeschooling well and building something of your own
