In this episode, Leah sits down with Sue, a homeschool mom and French teacher who turned a “realistic” $600/month goal into consistent five-figure months — all while prioritizing family, faith, and her local church.
Sue shares how she went from teaching French in public school to serving homeschool families, and eventually launching a digital French academy from her living room. What began as a small side income quickly grew once she shifted her mindset, 10x’d her goals, and started “building the plane while flying it” instead of waiting for everything to be perfect.
You’ll hear how she finds “margins of time” in a full schedule, treats short blocks of focused work like seeds God can multiply, and keeps her family and church as non-negotiable priorities while still growing a thriving business.
This conversation is a must-listen for any parent who feels called to build a business but worries there’s not enough time, energy, or capacity to do it well.
In this episode, we explore:
👉 How Sue went from a $600/month “realistic” goal to multiple five-figure months
👉 Why mindset and expectations were the real ceiling on her income
👉 Launching a digital French program for homeschoolers with a tiny email list
👉 What it looks like to “build the plane while flying it” in real life
👉 Using small “margins of time” (8–15 minutes) to do high-impact work
👉 How Sue ties specific tasks to potential financial return (and why it motivates her)
👉 Balancing marriage, motherhood, church leadership, and business without compromise
👉 How viewing work as worship shifts your attitude toward effort and setbacks
👉 The role of coaching and community in getting results faster (with less wasted time)
