    EP 18: Debating Public School Next Year? Why More Parents Are Choosing to Homeschool

    What if your child isn’t failing school… but school is failing your child? In this episode, we’re talking about one of the biggest reasons families are turning to homeschooling: their kids were struggling in the traditional school system. Whether it’s falling behind academically, anxiety in the classroom, learning differently, lack of individualized attention, or simply feeling defeated every day at school—many parents are realizing their child doesn’t need more pressure, they need a different environment. We’re diving into the real benefits of homeschooling for kids who: Learn at a different pace Feel overwhelmed in a classroom setting Struggle with confidence or anxiety Need more flexibility and one-on-one support Thrive when learning becomes personal instead of standardized We’ll also touch on concerns like bullying, school environment, and curriculum—but this conversation is really about helping kids rediscover a love of learning and giving families permission to think outside the traditional school box. If you’ve been wondering whether homeschooling could help your child thrive, this episode is for you. #Homeschooling #StrugglingLearner #HomeschoolMom #AlternativeEducation #ParentingPodcast #HomeschoolLife #EducationMatters Let's chat email me at KelsieShelaine@gmail.com  with any questions or comments along the way!  What to listen to next!  Curriculum Help- An Interview with the Curriculum Queen

    EP 17: What If Jesus Says, "I Never Knew You"?: How to Know you are truly saved

    How do you know if you're truly saved? Can a Christian lose their salvation? What did Jesus mean when He said, "I never knew you"? In this episode, I sit down with my friend Amanda Grantham—a homeschooling mom, pastor's wife, worship leader, and women's ministry leader—to have an honest conversation about salvation, faith, assurance, and spiritual doubt. Together we discuss: How to know if you are saved The meaning of "I never knew you" (Matthew 7:23) The difference between knowing about Jesus and having a relationship with Him Signs of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life The fruit of genuine faith Why so many Christian women struggle with fear, insecurity, and feeling "not enough" Baptism and salvation Finding confidence in God's grace instead of striving for perfection If you've ever questioned your salvation, wrestled with assurance of faith, or wondered whether you're truly following Jesus, this episode offers biblical encouragement and practical wisdom for your walk with God.

    EP 15: Slowing Down The Bible Recap: How to Stop Rushing and Start Connecting with God

    Have you ever felt like you’re rushing through your Bible reading just to keep up? Like you’re showing up every day… but not actually slowing down enough to connect with God? In this episode, I share what happened when I lost my 474-day Bible streak—and why it was the shift I didn’t know I needed. Instead of trying to keep up with a fast pace, I started slowing down—using a familiar Bible reading plan as a guide, but giving myself permission to move differently. If you’ve been wanting to slow down while still following along… use your paper Bible… watch the videos… actually have time to explore what you’re learning… and dive into the note sections instead of skipping past them… this episode is for you. We’re also talking about how to ask simple but powerful questions like: 👉 What is my “God shot” for today? …and actually give yourself the space to answer it. This is for the busy mom who wants to stay consistent in the Word—without feeling rushed, overwhelmed, or disconnected. If you’ve been craving deeper connection, not just completion—this is your invitation to slow down. Lets Connect find me on Facebook

    EP 14: Stop Being the Referee: Teaching Kids to Solve Their Own Problems

    Are your kids constantly fighting, arguing, and running to you to solve every little problem? Do you feel like a full-time referee in your own home? In this episode, we’re talking about how to stop carrying the mental load of breaking up every argument—and start raising children who can actually solve their own problems. As a mom of multiple kids (and someone who grew up as an only child), I know how overwhelming constant sibling conflict can feel. But I’ve learned that if we want to raise emotionally healthy, responsible kids, we have to shift from being the referee to being the trainer. Inside this episode, I’m sharing practical parenting strategies that are actually working in our home, including: How to stop constant tattling and get your kids to take responsibility for their actions Simple ways to teach conflict resolution and problem-solving skills What to say when your kids come to you arguing How to set boundaries that reduce fighting and bickering Why listening before reacting builds trust and honesty in your home The mindset shift that will help you stay calmer in the chaos We’ll also talk about the importance of modeling emotional regulation as parents, and how our responses shape the way our kids handle conflict. If you’re trying to raise kind, respectful, and independent kids—without losing your sanity in the process—this episode will give you simple, actionable tools you can start using today. 📖 Biblical encouragement included: We’re called to raise peacemakers, not just problem reporters. (Matthew 5:9) “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” (James 1:19) Lets Chat find me on Facebook!

    EP 12: You Dropped the Judgment… Now What? (How to Actually Communicate What You Need)

    Last week we talked about dropping the judgment… and how that one shift can completely change your relationships. But what happens when you’re doing that… and things still feel off? Because here’s the truth: Just because you’ve dropped the judgment doesn’t mean the other person knows that. Most people are so used to operating in defense mode that they’re already bracing for a fight before the conversation even starts. So in this episode, we’re talking about what comes next. I’m walking you through: Why people may still respond defensively (even when you’re calm) The importance of communicating that you’re not judging And the biggest missing piece in most conversations… you don’t actually know what you need We’ll break down: The difference between what you want vs. what you actually need Why unclear expectations lead to frustration and disconnection And how to make a clear, calm ask—without judgment Because the truth is, the people in your life often want to show up for you… …but they’re not mind readers. If you want less conflict, more connection, and conversations that actually lead somewhere—this episode is your next step.

    Have you ever found yourself snapping at your kids… getting defensive with your husband… or replaying something over and over thinking, “I shouldn’t have said that…”? This episode might change everything for you. Today we’re talking about dropping the judgment—what it actually means, what it doesn’t mean, and how this one shift can completely transform the way you show up in your home. Because here’s the truth: When you’re in judgment, the other person will always move into defense… and now you’re in a battle instead of a conversation. In this episode, I’m sharing: What’s really happening when you feel triggered How judgment is quietly affecting your marriage and your kids The surprising way your childhood might still be showing up in your reactions Why self-judgment is keeping you stuck in shame loops And a simple, practical tool you can use today to shift out of it I’m also walking you through real-life moments from my own home—arguments, parenting struggles, and even something as simple as dinner time—and how learning to drop judgment changed everything. This isn’t about becoming a doormat. This is about becoming a woman who is clothed with strength and dignity—calm, grounded, and no longer controlled by every trigger.
