What happens when a single mom in the Foreign Service gets the double whammy — "your child might have dyslexia" AND profound hearing loss? She figures it out. Katharyn Havens joins Cheryl from outside Nairobi, Kenya, where she's running a multi-age homeschool pod, teaching kids AI ethics, and building her own AI co-pilot for homeschool parents.

In this episode:

• How cochlear implant surgery changed everything — and bought them time
• Why Katherine walked away from a 14-year Foreign Service career
• The year they moved to Florida, ditched the diagnosis, and just learned to live
• How her son went from nonverbal to reading Green Eggs and Ham — on his own timeline
• Building a homeschool pod in Kenya with kids of all ages
• Her AI code of ethics for kids (yes, they have written rules)
• What "symphonic thinking" is and why it's the most future-proof skill you can teach

Whether you're just starting out or deep in the homeschool journey, Katherine's story will remind you: you know your kid best. Trust that.
