If you’ve had a moment in homeschool that instantly turned into

“I’m failing at this,”

you’re not alone — and you’re not the only mom who thinks that way.

This episode gets honest about that feeling: why it shows up so quickly, why it hits so hard, and how to stop the moment from becoming a story about who you are.

We walk through a simple reset you can use the next time that thought hits — one that helps you pause, breathe, and move forward with clarity instead of spiraling.

Your One Thing for Today:

Talk to God about the feeling — just as it is.

Ask Him to help you notice when that thought shows up,

and to help you take it captive before it shapes your day.

If this episode gives you a moment of relief or helps you see your day differently, share it with another mom who might need the same reminder.

If you had to finish this sentence, "Right now, homeschool feels...," what would you say? Most moms never pause long enough to answer. 

In this episode, if you can get past the coughing, we pause long enough to notice what you’re actually feeling today.

You’ll hear:

Your One Thing for Today:

If this helped you slow down or breathe a little easier, share it with another mom so she can find her word too.

If you’ve ever felt yourself bouncing between:

wanting to be gentle, and then realizing you came in a little strong

trying to stay on top of things, and then noticing the whole day went to tasks

wanting to just enjoy your kids, and then remembering there’s still learning to lead

this episode will make sense to you.

Homeschooling often means holding more than one priority at a time.

This episode is a conversation about that everyday back-and-forth, how it often shows up in normal days, and one simple way to respond in the moment when you feel it happening.

When you notice the swing, just acknowledge it. Name it.

If there’s something you’d like me to talk about on a future episode — a situation, a challenge, or something you’re wrestling with — send me an email or a voice note. I read every message, and your real-life questions shape these conversations.

If this episode made you nod, pause, or exhale a little — share it with one other mom who might be feeling this same back-and-forth. We don’t do this alone.

After more than 18 months away, I’m back — and this episode gets honest about what that season really looked like.

I share how grief, overwhelm, and life changes brought me to a full stop… and how that pause helped me restart toward a breathable life.

I walk through my belief-to-mindset-to-action apprach — how aligning what I believe, think, and do has changed everything — and end with a simple One Thing for Today: notice where you’re holding your breath, and give yourself permission to release it.

I don’t want this to be a one-way conversation — I’d love to hear from you. If this episode resonated with you — or if you’ve been in a season where catching your breath has felt hard — I’d love to hear from you.

What’s been on your plate lately? What parts of life feel the hardest to breathe through right now?

Email me at [email protected] and tell me what you’d love to hear more about this season — or just say hi and let me know you’re listening.You can also share the questions you’d love me to unpack in future episodes. I read every message — and your stories and ideas help shape what comes next here.

Let’s breathe through this season together. 💛

Hi friend,

In this quick update, I'm sharing a little about why things have been quiet lately and why I'm hitting pause to take my advice to reflect, reset, and refresh. To Be still and remember He is still God, especially during the most difficult seasons of our life.

Please know it's certainly not goodbye, just a short break to adjust and come back stronger. In the meantime, I hope you'll subscribe, go back and listen to your favorite episodes, and keep sharing with other moms who need to catch their breath.

Till then, remember - in every challenging season of life or homeschooling, pause. Breathe. And remember, He is God, and we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.

Thanks for your understanding and all the support!

Hey friend,

Ever feel like you’re waiting for a nod or a green light to just... breathe? To decide what’s truly right for you and your family? You’re not alone.

This episode is all about breaking free from the ‘permission slip’ we think we need—whether it’s to pause for self-care, shift gears, or dive into homeschooling. It’s time to talk about why we stall, waiting for approval that, deep down, we know we don’t need.

Why do we do this to ourselves? Guilt, doubt, fear of judgment—these shadows loom over us, making decisions feel heavier than they should.

We’re diving deep into self-trust (or the lack thereof), the fear of falling behind, and the worry about what others will think. It’s these feelings that often send us seeking validation from anyone but ourselves.

Tune in for a real talk on granting ourselves the permission to live on our terms. Discover strategies to manage the inner critic, celebrate our autonomy in homeschooling, and more.

You’ll learn to embrace planning with flexibility and how to build your own circle of trust for those moments when you crave a bit of backup in your choices.

Though we zero in on homeschooling, this episode is a must-listen if you’ve been waiting for someone else to say “It’s okay” about any aspect of your life.

Listen, breathe easier, and share the journey with a friend. It’s time to claim the power of your choices.

xo,

Inga, your Homeschool Life Coach

Hey Friend,

We're rethinking the whole balance game. Instead of chasing after this idea of perfect balance, I'll show you how to weave harmony into your day-to-day. We'll explore how setting up time blocks can seriously upgrade your routine and how embracing the AIM strategy (that's Accepting, Interrupting, and Managing stress) can be a game-changer.

And because I know how tough this homeschooling journey can be, we're all about celebrating those little wins and patting ourselves on the back for the imperfections too. Plus, I can't stress enough how crucial it is to take care of you. Self-care isn't just nice; it's necessary for keeping everything else running smoothly.

I'll also share the scoop on setting goals that feel doable and the power of finding your tribe in homeschooling communities. 

So, if you're ready to shift from feeling frazzled to feeling harmonious, this episode is your invitation. Let's embrace the beautifully imperfect journey of homeschooling and life together. Trust me, it's okay not to have it all figured out. What matters is we're here, learning and growing together. Can't wait for you to join me!
