    Ep. 87 - Homeschool, Healing, and a Six Figure Business; Jake's Story of Resilience and Redemption
    Oct 15 2025

    In this heartfelt and deeply honest episode, Christy-Faith sits down with Jake, a homeschool graduate, artist, and entrepreneur whose story proves that beauty really can rise from ashes.

    From growing up in a turbulent, narcissistic household to building a thriving six-figure tie-dye brand with more than 325,000 followers, Jake opens up about the reality of his upbringing, the healing power of homeschooling, and the resilience it takes to rebuild from trauma.

    You’ll hear why homeschooling became a lifeline for Jake and his mom, how individualized learning helped him find purpose and creativity, and what it means to heal generational wounds while holding on to faith, humor, and hope.

    Because sometimes the most powerful education doesn’t happen in a classroom; it happens in the quiet strength of a family choosing freedom, healing, and redemption.
