    Personal Power Through Self-Government

    Nicholeen Peck is a wife, mother of four, and grandmother who has spent decades helping families around the world find more peace at home and learning self-mastery. She is the founder of Teaching Self-Government and a global advocate for strong families, known for her calm, principle-based approach to parenting and communication. Her journey began in her own living room, first as a mother and then as a foster parent to troubled teens, where she developed a system based on self-government, calmness, and honest, respectful communication. In 2009, her approach gained international attention when the BBC featured her family in a documentary called The World's Strictest Parents, where two rebellious British teens transformed in just eight days under her care. Since then, Nicholeen has shared her message on TV and radio, through books and articles, and in person with audiences across six continents. Nicholeen is also a YouTuber and podcaster, sharing real-life parenting tips and heartfelt encouragement with families each week. She is the author of several books, including Parenting a House United, Roles, and the popular Teaching Self-Government children’s series that includes Londyn LaRae Says Okay, Porter Earns A Quarter, Big Win For Quin, Paije Takes the Stage, Popular Parenting Methods, and more. Her work has been translated into Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese. In addition to mentoring thousands of families, Nicholeen serves as President of the Worldwide Organization for Women, is an approved United Nations consultant on family issues, and is a member of the House of Representatives. But no matter how far her message travels, she says her most important work is still at home, building strong relationships with her own children and grandchildren.

    Simplified Homeschooling: Our Origin Story (Part 1)

    Natalie is a homeschool mom of five, currently in her twelfth year of homeschooling. Before becoming a mom and bringing learning home, Natalie taught grades K through 5th in the classroom. She specialized in dyslexia, earned an Orton–Gillingham certification, taught at a private school for children with dyslexia, and created her own reading program, Direct Route to Reading, which has helped countless families truly understand how to teach struggling readers. She also ran a successful in-home preschool for three years. Natalie is also the creator of three transformational mentoring programs for moms — Revive in 45 for resetting health, metabolism, and weight loss, Thrive in 45 for emotional stability and personal development, and Arrive in 45 for home systems, rhythms, and family culture.  She’s the mind behind “The Two-Hour Homeschool” and the co-founder of Simplified Homeschooling. She is a wealth of wisdom, a champion for moms and children, and one of the clearest voices in the homeschooling world. I am so excited to dive into this conversation with Natalie today.
