Why We Grow Our Food and Homeschool Our Kids

Makeda explains why she grows food and homeschools her kids while working full-time in tech sales. This episode is about reclaiming control over what you eat, how your children learn, and what you're building toward when conventional systems fail to serve your family's actual needs.

In this episode:

• Why the food system is engineered to harm, especially if you're busy, and why growing food is one of the last ways to truly protect your health and your family's bodies
• The decision to homeschool after seeing what traditional schooling (public and private) does to kids: over-testing, factory-line structure, and conditioning children to follow authority without question
• How Makeda is raising strong-willed children who ask why, not compliant drones, and why that matters more than fitting into societal expectations
• Building micro-apartments and tiny homes so her children are homeowners before kindergarten and never face homelessness or displacement
• The reality of doing hard things in real time: plants die, possums get in the chicken coop, and some days are overwhelming, but perfection isn't the point
• Why your daily life, breath, food, rest, and joy are sacred, and how homesteading is one way to honor that truth instead of coming alive only for two weeks of PTO

Who this is for: Service business owners who are making good money but questioning whether the conventional systems around food, education, and lifestyle are actually serving their families, and who want to see what taking control looks like in practice.
