Hi! I'm Kelly
I help parents create evergreen online income that allows them to homeschool, travel, and basically do whatever the hell they want.
I’m all about time and location freedom, and having the space to do all the weird and wonderful things that make you happy.
And I’m too old to be good at selfies.
I’m currently neck-deep in creating and testing online courses with my wonderful community, so a fancy About page is low on my priority list…BUT sometimes you need to stalk me, right?
So here’s my short business history on the podcast, or check out the written version below.
My Very Abbreviated Business Backstory
2006-2014 – Cloth nappy and tie-dye tragic and designer/sewist/market & online seller extraordinaire at Pepper Place. Had absolutely no idea what I was doing at the start, but learning as I went created enough income that my husband got to stay home most of the time (kind of necessary while homeschooling 5 kids under 5).
2016-2023 – Creator and one-woman army behind Fearless Homeschool & the Australian Homeschooling Summit. Completely time and location independent with a big chunk of passive income through SEO, email, and evergreen products. Did summits my own way and had massive success. Mostly ignored social media. Monetised a niche that people say is impossible. Took my family to Europe for 8 months and came home with change. Sold it late 2023.
Side project obsessed (sporadically) at Dye DIY & The Anti-Rat
Prior to speaking to Kelly, I wasn’t sure what direction to take with my business. Kelly’s ideas and entrepreneur thinking helped to steer me in the right direction and I feel confident that I have a way forward to creating a business that will work.
I absolutely loved having Kelly in my world for a snapshot of time. I was stuck with my next steps for my coaching business when I reached out to her. She reviewed my branding, vision, website, social media and sales funnels and showed me what I couldn’t see for myself about how to move forward. Now, I have a practical plan of action – one that feels exciting and expansive.
Personal stuff? Married my Greek-Aussie grade 6 boyfriend, homeschooling mum to 5, dirtbag hiker, vagabonder, AuDHD, clinical educator/RN at a disability org, multiple NaNoWriMo winner, plus I hate-run marathons in my spare time.
