Use this space to share where you are right now. Not where you think you should be. You can post things like: Your rough idea (even if it’s messy) What year or season you’re aiming to launch What you feel clear on vs what’s foggy A decision you’re stuck on A timeline you’re trying to sanity-check This is a planning-out-loud zone. No polished pitches, no comparison, no pressure to have it all figured out. If you’re comfortable, introduce yourself below with: Name Location Launch stage (idea, planning, soft launch, open) Biggest question on your mind We’ll build from there 🤍

Most people think opting out requires a dramatic leap. It usually doesn’t. It requires rearranging, not abandoning. Before quitting your job, try one (or two) of these: 1. Reduce time before changing roles Ask for: • one remote day • adjusted hours • compressed weeks • a temporary reduction Even a small shift can open breathing room. 2. Start with partial education changes You don’t need full-time homeschool. Try: • 1–2 microschool or pod days • mornings only • core academics outside of school This tests the waters without blowing up your life. 3. Add one flexible income stream Not a business empire. Just one thing. Examples: • tutoring or childcare swaps • pet sitting, nannying, respite care • digital tools, consulting, services • weekend or seasonal work The goal is optional income, not perfection. 4. Reclaim time you’re already paying for Look at: • aftercare costs • tutoring caused by school stress • therapy needed because school is dysregulating Redirecting money often creates more flexibility than earning more. 5. Build confidence before making big moves Most people don’t leap. They: • experiment • stabilize • then decide That’s not fear. That’s strategy. You don’t need to quit your job to start opting out. You need one small crack in the system where your life can start to bend. That’s how most real transitions begin.
