Making it Work: Motherhood, Career, and Homeschooling with Val Breit
In this inspiring conversation with Val Breit, we dive into her journey of becoming a work-from-home mom while managing Shine Realty’s website and blog.
Val opens up about the sacrifices and discipline it takes to make working from home possible, the role of budgeting in creating stability, and the challenges of navigating her daughter’s severe peanut allergy.
What started as a health necessity led to an unexpected step of faith—homeschooling. Through it all, Val shares how her faith has guided her family through uncertainty, change, and new beginnings.
