    S3, Ep21: Homeschooling When Your Patience Runs Thin

    Everyone says you need endless patience to homeschool… and we’re calling BS. Beyond that, in this episode, we are going to unpack where that belief comes from, who it quietly excludes, and why impatience is often a signal… not a failure. From burnout and unrealistic expectations to repair, regulation, and systems that actually work, we talk about what kids really need from the adults teaching them. Spoiler: it’s not a 24/7 zen parent/caregiver… it’s real humans who can adapt, reset, and keep going. Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

    S3, Ep19: Testing, Grading, and What Actually Measures Learning

    Do homeschoolers really need tests and grades to prove learning is happening? In this episode, we unpack why so many parents feel pressured to measure progress the “school way,” even when it might not align with how their kids actually learn. We talk honestly about the limited role testing can play, the very real downsides of over-relying on data, and the many meaningful ways growth shows up in everyday life. Whether you’re fully anti-testing, required to participate because of a charter or state rules, or just trying to unlearn old school conditioning, this episode offers reassurance, perspective, and permission to trust what you see unfolding in your own home.

    In this episode, we’re talking honestly about homeschool burnout… why it happens, why it’s normal, and why taking a break is often the smartest move you can make. We dig into the pressure to push through and the small shifts that can help you feel human again. We also share practical ways to lighten your load, reset your homeschool, and remind yourself that rest is part of the learning process, not a step backward.

    S3, Ep17: Practical Tips for Small-Space Homeschooling

    This week we’re digging into what homeschooling actually looks like when you don’t have a dedicated room, endless storage, or a perfectly curated setup. We’re talking about making learning work in small spaces, busy schedules, and real life… because most of us are juggling school at the kitchen table, in the car, and everywhere in between. We break down how to create a functional, flexible homeschool that fits your home and your reality, not some Pinterest version of it.

    S3, Ep16: Homeschooling Neurodivergent Learners: When the System Isn’t Built for Your Kid

    In this week’s episode, we’re digging into what it really means to homeschool neurodivergent kids in a world where the traditional school system often isn’t built with them in mind. We talk about masking, mismatched expectations, and why so many ND learners finally exhale when they’re allowed to learn in ways that honor their wiring instead of fighting it. We’re not here to bash public schools, but we are here to get real about what ND-affirming education can look like and why homeschooling can be a game changer for some families. If you’ve ever wondered whether your differently wired kid might thrive outside the system, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for. Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!
