The interview features Enje Daniels, a criminal defense lawyer, business owner, homeschool mom, and mother of three, to talk about what it really looks like to build a part-time criminal defense practice while homeschooling.

Enje shares her journey from traditional civil litigation to criminal defense, why becoming a mother reshaped her relationship with work, and how she intentionally downshifted her practice to prioritize family, faith, and flexibility. She opens up about leaving employment, starting her own firm, setting boundaries in a demanding practice area, and tripling her income while working fewer hours.

This conversation also explores homeschooling in the early years, teaching children a second language through immersion, and why Enje chose to slow down during the season of raising littles. She discusses how she structured a “quasi maternity leave” as a self-employed lawyer, diversified her income through photography, and designed her practice to work around motherhood rather than compete with it.

Throughout the episode, Enje reflects on how faith has guided her decisions, the importance of listening to internal nudges, and why success in this season looks different than it did before children.

This episode is for lawyers, entrepreneurs, and working mothers who are asking:

• Is it possible to run a law practice part-time?
• Can I homeschool while still contributing financially?
• How do I build a business that supports family life instead of overwhelming it?
• What does it look like to design work around motherhood and faith?
