Why We’re Encouraging Our Kids to Leave Home

Send us Fan Mail

Hey y’all! In this episode of EntrepreMarriage, we’re diving deep into why mindset is everything when it comes to success and raising independent kids. We both left the Pacific Northwest at 18 with nothing but a car and a dream to find better opportunities.

We’re sharing our personal stories of moving across the country, building grit, and why we believe "staying still" can sometimes make you blind to the opportunities right in front of you. We aren't about kicking kids out, but we are definitely about pushing them to see the world, go abroad, and take risks.

In this episode, we talk about:
➤ Moving for Opportunity: Why we left Oregon for Texas and Arkansas to find a community and a future that felt bigger.
➤ Building Grit at 18: Managing dorm life, multiple jobs, and the "breakdowns" that actually made us stronger.
➤ Parenting for Independence: Why we want our kids to travel and learn new languages so they never feel "stuck."
➤ The Power of Risk: How the risks we took at 18 prepared us to take "10X" risks in business and real estate today.

What was the biggest risk you ever took for your growth? Are you encouraging your kids to move away or stay close? We want to hear from you! Drop a comment below!
