    S4 Ep9: IEPs, 504s & Diagnoses: What Still Matters When You Homeschool

    In this episode, we’re digging into one of the most nuanced (and often confusing) parts of homeschooling: diagnoses, IEPs, and 504 plans. Do homeschooled kids actually need them? When do they matter? When do they not? We break down how these supports function in traditional school settings, what changes when you homeschool, and why documentation can still be critical for things like SATs, APs, and dual enrollment. We also get real about the barriers to getting evaluated, the cost, the emotional side of diagnosis, and the current political climate that’s making all of this feel even more complicated. Whether you’re questioning labels or craving clarity, this conversation will help you think through what’s best for your child both now and in the future. We’d love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much. Homeschooling can feel isolating, but processing complex topics alongside like-minded people helps fill your cup, sharpen your thinking, and remind you that you’re not navigating this alone.

    S4, Ep8: Logged In, Tuned Out: Rethinking Online Homeschooling

    We were about to say something like, “Online programs aren’t the problem, but how we use them can make or break a homeschool experience.”  But then we had to pause for a beat because some are seriously problematic and we need to talk about that too.  So… in this episode, we talk about why the “log in and call it a day” approach often falls flat, even though we totally understand the appeal. We unpack how to use online tools strategically, what actually works (and what doesn’t), and how to balance independence with connection so learning actually sticks. If you’ve ever wondered whether your current setup is really working or how to tweak it without blowing everything up… this conversation is for you! We’d love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much.

    S4, Ep7: But You’ll Send Them Back for High School… Right?

    If you haven’t been asked, “but you’ll send them back to real school for high school, right?” yet… consider yourself lucky. And also know it’s probably just a matter of time. In this episode, we’re unpacking where that mindset comes from, why it sticks around, and whether there’s actually any truth to it. We’ll talk about what homeschooling high school really looks like today, how families handle more advanced subjects, and what happens socially when you don’t follow the expected path. As promised in the episode, here’s an excerpt from the book co-written by Meagan and her daughter Astrid. https://bit.ly/UnschoolingExcerpt  We’d love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much.

    S4, Ep6: Unschooling: The Version No One Talks About

    Unschooling gets talked about like it’s one thing, but in reality, it’s a whole spectrum. In this episode, we’re digging into what unschooling actually looks like across that range, from fully hands-off to intentionally supported, and everything in between. We talk about the balance between freedom and support, why exposure and access matter more than people realize, and how unschooling can be incredibly powerful - especially for neurodivergent kids - when it’s done thoughtfully. This isn’t a “you’re doing it wrong” conversation. It’s a real one. Because the goal isn’t perfection or judgment.  It’s understanding what actually helps kids thrive. As promised in the episode, here’s an excerpt from the book co-written by Meagan and her daughter Astrid. https://bit.ly/UnschoolingExcerpt  We’d love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much.

    S4, Ep5: That’s Bullsh*t: Education Edition

    We’re playing our own version of the game Bullsh*t, but it is our very own education edition. We’re taking a hard look at the things we’ve all been told about school, learning, and success and asking… are they actually true? From “kids learn best sitting still” to “more hours = more learning” to “college is the only path,” we’re unpacking the assumptions that shape how we think about education and calling out what doesn’t hold up. If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing your homeschool choices or wondering if you’re doing it “right,” this episode is your reminder that a lot of what we’ve accepted as fact is just… well, bullsh*t!

    S4, Ep4: Homeschooling with Chronic Illness (And How to Support Families Who Are)

    Chronic illness and homeschooling… can they actually coexist? In this episode, we’re digging into the reality of homeschooling with limited energy, unpredictable health, and a whole lot of societal pressure to “do it all.” We talk about what it really looks like, how to build a sustainable rhythm that works for your family, and why flexibility isn’t just helpful… it’s essential. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation is about redefining success, letting go of unrealistic expectations, and creating a homeschool life that actually fits your real, messy, human circumstances. We’d love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much.

    S4, Ep3: Graphic Novels: The Plot Twist Parents Didn’t See Coming

    Graphic novels are sometimes ignored - and sometimes totally poo-poo’d - and we’re digging into why.  Whether your kid devours them, avoids them, or you’ve never really considered them part of your homeschool at all, this episode might shift how you think about reading. We’re breaking down the myths, the research, and the real-life experience behind graphic novels, including why they’re not “less than” traditional books, how they build serious literacy skills, and why they might actually be one of the most powerful tools in your reading toolbox. If you’ve ever wondered whether graphic novels “count” or stressed about the fact that your kiddo isn’t reading a “real book”… this conversation is for you.

    S4, Ep2: Book Review: How to Raise Kids Who Aren’t A******s

    In this episode, we dive into our latest book club pick, How to Raise Kids Who Aren’t A******s by Melinda Wenner Moyer.  The title alone was enough to get our attention. We talk about the research behind raising kind, ethical, community-minded kids and what that actually looks like in real life (not the Instagram version). From empathy and honesty to privilege, accountability, and modeling the behavior we hope to see, we unpack the ideas that resonated with us, the parts that challenged us, and how it all applies to messy, imperfect homeschooling families just trying to raise decent humans. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re getting it right - or just hope your kids grow up to be good people - this conversation is for you. We’d love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much.
