Level Up Your Teen's Life (Without Adding to Your Plate)
The Ultimate Gamified Co-op Where Teens Learn, Play, and Prepare for the Real World
Does This Sound Familiar?
As a homeschool mom, you’ve poured everything into preparing your teen for life… but do you still find yourself asking:
“Did I teach them everything they need before they leave home?”
“ Can they handle friendships, dating, and life’s tough decisions?”
“Will they make the right choices when I’m not around?”
You’re not alone.
Today’s teens are struggling to transition to independence, and it’s not their fault.
66% of teens don’t feel confident managing money.
75% of employers say young adults lack basic job skills.
Over half of college students struggle with time management & independence.
If you don’t teach them these skills, they’ll learn the hard way.
That’s why we created Level Up Your Life—so your teen gains real-world skills, confidence, and independence NOW (without you having to figure it all out alone).
A structured, gamified life skills program for teens that actually keeps them engaged.
A support system & coaching for moms to help you confidently prepare them for what’s next.
A roadmap that grows with them year after year—so you KNOW they’re ready for adulthood.
What Other Parents & Teens Are Saying
What If You Had a Proven Plan to Prepare Your Teen?
Level Up Your Life isn’t just another course—it’s a step-by-step roadmap to real-world readiness.
For Teens:
✔️ Gamified Life Skills – Earn XP, complete challenges, and master skills like money management, communication & career readiness.
✔️ Teen Clubs & Meetups – Build friendships & connect with like-minded peers in a safe space.
✔️ Real-World Experience – No busywork—just hands-on, interactive learning.
For Moms:
✔️ Live Coaching & Support – Weekly guidance on raising confident teens & navigating high school homeschooling.
✔️ A Like-Minded Mom Community – Ask questions, share wins, and get real support.
✔️ Done-for-You Resources – Guides, templates, and tools to make teaching life skills simple.
How it Works:
Teens start at Level 1—mastering time management, money skills & self-advocacy.
Each year, they level up—gaining leadership, career skills, and true independence.
By the end, they’ll graduate fully prepared—with real experience & high school credit.
What Makes Level Up Different?
(Why This Isn’t Just Another Life Skills Program)
Most life skills programs throw a few lessons at teens and call it a day. But real-world readiness isn’t a one-and-done lesson—it’s a process that takes time, practice, and real experience.
That’s why Level Up is designed to grow with your teen year after year.
Here's How It Works:
Gamified Progression: Teens “level up” just like in a video game—earning XP, unlocking new challenges, and gaining real-world skills at every stage.
Foundations First (Level 1): Every teen starts here, mastering the non-negotiables—time management, financial basics, self-advocacy, and communication skills.
Advanced Readiness (Levels 2-6): As they continue, they dive deeper into:
Leadership & Networking – Build confidence in social & professional settings.
Career & Financial Growth – Go beyond the basics: investing, entrepreneurship & career planning.
True Independence – Handle responsibilities like budgeting, job readiness, and decision-making.
What This Means for You & Your Teen:
For Teens: They’ll want to participate because it feels like a game—not school. They’ll build confidence, independence, and real-world skills in a way that actually sticks.
For Moms: You can stop wondering if they’re “ready.” This structured, progressive program ensures they are.
And the best part? Each year, teens earn a full elective credit for their high school transcript—so this isn’t just valuable for life, but also for their academic record.
No fluff. No busywork. Just a proven system that ensures your teen is prepared for adulthood—step by step, year by year.

Hi, I'm Traci!
I’m the founder of Adulting University, author of Adulting Unplugged, and I’ve spent over a decade coaching teens to become confident, independent, and ready for whatever life throws at them. Helping teens grow into their full potential isn’t just what I do—it’s what I love.
While I may not have a teen of my own just yet (my son’s still in his preteen years!), I’ve had the privilege of guiding hundreds of families through these challenging and exciting stages. I’m certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid and trained in trauma-backed PAX Tools, so I know how to connect with teens in a way that makes them feel seen, heard, and supported.
I created Adulting University because I know how overwhelming it can be for parents to feel like they have to teach everything. My mission is to take the pressure off you while giving your teen the tools they need to thrive. Whether it’s time management, communication, or even learning how to tackle big responsibilities, I’m here to help your teen level up for life—and have some fun doing it!
When I’m not coaching teens or geeking out over gamified learning strategies, you’ll probably find me chasing after my own two kids, brainstorming new ideas, or connecting with amazing homeschool families like yours. I can’t wait to support your family and watch your teen shine!
Still Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
What is XP?
XP stands for “experience points.” It’s a fun, gamified way for teens to stay motivated as they complete lessons and challenges. The more XP they earn, the more chances they have to win prizes and climb the leaderboard. Top students on the leaderboard can earn fun prizes, like gift cards or exclusive program perks.
What exactly is gamification?
Gamification is the process of turning learning into a game! It’s all about using fun elements like points, challenges, rewards, and leaderboards to keep teens motivated and excited to participate. Instead of feeling like a boring lesson, gamification makes every activity engaging and rewarding—whether they’re mastering time management, tackling a weekly challenge, or competing to earn prizes. It’s like leveling up in a video game, but the rewards are real-world skills that set your teen up for success!
What about the age range (12-18)?
We thoughtfully group students by age and maturity level to ensure your 12-year-old isn’t hanging out with an 18-year-old. Our community spaces are fully moderated to ensure they’re safe, supportive, and aligned with your values.
What if my teen isn’t social or doesn’t like group activities?
That’s okay! While there are opportunities for community, the core lessons and challenges can be completed individually.
How does this program differ from the full program in the fall?
The Spring Edition is a “quick win” program focused on foundational skills, while the full program dives deeper into advanced topics like career readiness, leadership, and emotional intelligence. This special program & rate is exclusive to our pilot program. We’re offering it at a reduced price so we can gather feedback and make it even better for future sessions, including our fall program!
Is this program secular or religious?
As a Christian, my faith is the foundation of my life and guides how I approach teaching, mentoring, and building this program. That said, the skills we teach—like problem-solving, leadership, and financial literacy—are designed to benefit all teens, whether faith is part of their journey or not. Everyone is welcome here.
Our community is built on mutual respect, kindness, and a commitment to helping teens grow into confident, independent adults. While we offer optional faith-based activities, the program itself is designed to be inclusive and focuses on universal skills that prepare all teens for real-world success.
