From Unschooled to Entrepreneur
You are a teen who is bright, creative, full of potential, but sometimes feeling as if you are drifting without direction?
Maybe you are unschooled or home-educated and don’t have a clear path or structure right now. You know you’re capable of SO much more, but the traditional routes just don’t fit you at all.
That’s why I’m so excited to invite you to a powerful call with Michelle Foulia and Richard Hart, both unschooling parents (with both grown-up kids and some that are younger), seasoned entrepreneurs, mentors for teens and just the most wonderful, inspiring, creative, loving humans.
Michelle walked out of the care system at 16 with no qualifications, undiagnosed ADHD, and a sense that she didn’t fit anywhere. Entrepreneurship gave her a second chance—it gave her purpose, possibility, and the power to create a life on her terms.
When she started unschooling her neurodivergent children 13 years ago, she used entrepreneurship to equip, and empower them for life in the real world free from the systems of enslavement. Today, she’s an award-winning entrepreneur, author, and advocate for young people who don’t fit the mould.
Richard ran a successful international event organising business until Covid closed everything down and he had to rethink his future. He had followed the traditional school path with his older daughter, but soon realised it wasn’t fit for equipping our young people for success in life. He began unschooling his younger children, moved to Cyprus with his wife Anna, and run different ventures for multiple streams of income to provide for his family and dreams of a life free from any systems. While there, he started a Facebook Group community the Homeschool Freedom Club, mentoring and supporting other home-schooling parents who want to use entrepreneurship so that they can live life on their terms. Using his experience and skills in entrepreneurship, he joined Michelle to start Young Entrepreneur Start Ups where they in a neurodivergent-friendly, trauma-informed way are helping teens to build confidence, launch real businesses, and create a future full of freedom and impact.
On this free live call, they’ll be sharing:
💡 Why entrepreneurship is such a powerful path for unschooled teens
📚 Real stories of teens who’ve taken the course and started thriving
🚀 How you can start building something meaningful—even with no prior experience

If you’re looking for ideas, inspiration, real-life stories from other unschooled biz-owners, a possibility to ask question, and guidance for what to do if you feel super excited about starting your own business but have no idea how to…

Meet Rebecca, your host
Hi! My name is Rebecca, I am the woman behind It takes a village, and I am SO excited that you are here!
Already many years before becoming a mother, I turned into a passionate community creator. Since living in multiple countries for many decades, I basically feel like a foreigner and outsider anywhere on the planet, and I noticed early that I was not the only one longing for togetherness – especially when you feel different than the majority of people.
When I then became a mum, I right away started this new chapter of my life with a bunch of non-conventional choices such as birthing my children at home AND without any medical staff, co-sleeping with my children, carrying them in slings, not sending them to daycare, breastfeeding them for many years etc.
Suddenly I was even more different than “just” being a foreigner. More than ever before I felt the need for togetherness with other people who would not only accept me but deeply support and inspire me to follow my heart, even through the most challenging times. And I found them. And they turned into my nourishing, supportive “village”.
I get to be the mama of the most beautiful little adventurers who never have been to any institutions, who share my love for walking barefoot and for indulging in freshly picked berries, for the sea, campfires, baking, gardening, snuggles, amazing friendships across ages and cultures, and exploring different places on this planet. Together, we dream of building our own house with clay, and to grow a big fruit garden.
I also adore islands, sheep, and I think I might be addicted to underwhelm. (I.e. places where I feel calm and spaciousness, where I can easily see the moon and the stars, places that grow wild flowers, and where I often hear nothing but the sound of birds, waves, or the wind.)
During my years as a mother, I have had my fair share of challenges: from living in women’s shelters to recovering from people-pleasing/self-abondoning; from being a single mum and solo-provider to solving crazy situations while being in the middle of nowhere, off-grid, in the Caribbean rainforest; and many more.
At the same time, I have also been blessed with an infinite abundance of goodness – most of this emerged as a result of my conscious and courageous life choices, and through the amazing humans I get to be close to in my life.
In the early months of becoming a mum, I realised that I wanted to teach my children a whole bunch of the most beautiful values. But that I was not living them myself! This was a wake-up call, and the start of a massive shift in my life. Because I knew that it is not my words that would mainly teach my children, but the way I modelled my values by living them.
And the more I started following my inner compass, the more confident and courageous I felt to continue on this path.
Ever since then, I have had the honour to support many, many parents on their journey. One of my most favourite places to do so is my beloved peaceful parenting/unschooling portal TOGETHER, my group program ROOTED & FREE which is the most beautiful, deep group mentorship program, and another one is my 1:1 mentorship.
I am beyond excited to be here with you and hope to see you on Wednesday! ♥️
Until then, say hi on social media!
