Welcome back to Home School with Steph, the podcast that reminds you that you are capable, qualified, and you don't have to do this alone. And if there's an episode that will tell it better, it's going to be this one. Today I'm talking with Meghan. She went from being a genetic DNA sequencing scientist to having two babies in two years, traveling with her husband, and ultimately to building a homeschool life that she absolutely fell in love with. She is the creator of Homeschool Happy Hour, which is a platform for helping moms feel confident, supported, and less alone in their homeschooling journey. We're gonna hear how she made this transition from being a full-time working scientist to a full-time all-in homeschooling mama. And we really get into it in this episode about how we feel about public school and some of the things that we've been conditioned to think we should be doing for our kids and what we really feel is important. This is an episode you're not going to want to miss.
