#75: You Don’t Have to Homeschool Alone
What if instead of striving harder, you simply rested in the truth that you’re not homeschooling alone? Even when it feels like it’s all on your shoulders, you're infinitely supported—and this episode is your reminder to breathe, release the pressure, and let the help in.
In this heartfelt and empowering episode, Julie invites you to shift your mindset around homeschooling by embracing the Divine Helper—yes, even in grammar lessons! She unpacks how striving, overscheduling, and trying to control every detail can actually block the help that’s available to you. You’ll explore how to recognize support (both external and internal), how to stop doing it all yourself, and how to invite more peace, trust, and joy into your homeschool journey.
This isn’t about doing more—it’s about letting go of fear, honoring your child’s learning process, and discovering how deeply supported you already are.
Key Takeaways:
You are supported—spiritually, emotionally, and practically—even when you can’t see it yet. Let that truth sink in.
Education is not about stuffing facts into your child—it’s about nourishing their minds with ideas and allowing space for growth.
Imagination and independent thinking need margin. Solitude isn’t a luxury; it’s essential for your child’s development (and yours too).
Your kids don’t need you to be the fountain of all knowledge. Your job is to prepare the feast—not serve every bite with a side of explanation.
Let them process and share in their own voice. It’s a powerful act of trust and a gift that builds confidence and critical thinking.
Fear-based homeschooling leads to control and disconnection. Naming your fears helps you release them and step into trust.
Whether it’s a curriculum like A Gentle Feast, a friend, a co-op, or simply your own strengths—support is already around you. You just have to say yes to it.
Instead of “How do I fix this?”, ask: Who or what could support me in this? The answer might surprise you.
Doing it all by yourself doesn’t make you more valuable. You are worthy of support and rest simply because you are.
