This is a re-release of the fire episode we did with Sterling Jaquith, and it is excellent! 

She’s a wife, a homeschooling momma to 6 beautiful souls, an author, a podcaster, a speaker, an entrepreneur, and a Catholic business coach who teaches women to discern God’s will for their lives and businesses! 

Can we talk about wearing different hats mommas?!

Maybe your reality is so far from "fail proof" that you can't even imagine what that would look like…

But, sweet mommas, What if there were clear, defined steps you could take?

If you're feeling overwhelmed by credits, transcripts, and college prep? Take a deep breath. You can homeschool high school—and you can do it with clarity, confidence, and calm. 

This week on the podcast we're walking through what most high schoolers actually need to graduate, how to map it out simply, and why homeschooling high school might just be the most rewarding chapter yet.

There are a few books we recommend to brand new homeschoolers, and Julie Bogart wrote one of them! 

She's a mother of 5 (now grown) kids, homeschool OG, and brilliant mind who's helped thousands of moms shape their homeschools (especially ours!). 

She's just added another book called (Help! My Kid Hates Writing!) to her list of publications, curriculums, and accomplishments, and before you think this is just another podcast on writing curriculum or tips...it is SO MUCH MORE.

We are VERY excited to share her wisdom, insight, and humor with you!

When was the last time learning in our home felt truly joyful? What would it look like to welcome wonder again—even just once a week?

What if something as simple as tea and poetry could bring joy, connection, and confidence to your homeschool—AND be something you actually look forward to, despite it being another thing on your calendar.

We are proof it can and we're spilling the tea on poetry teas.

Instagram lied...there is no "right" childhood and chasing it IS what's stealing valuable peace from our momma hearts.

There's no single perfect childhood you're supposed to recreate for your kids.

Not the one you made up from the 10 moms you follow on IG.

And not even the one you've always dreamed of giving your children.

The truth is, there's no one-size-fits-all version and there's no possible way you could have foreseen every eventuality, the type of children you had, their specific needs, life changes, world changes...we could go on and on.

Each one of these factors changes the game a little.

And even in all this...God is writing your children's childhood through your family.

Today we're pulling back the curtain on the pressure we face chasing a fictitious vision of "good" and embracing the truth that the childhood your kids are living in your home right now is the one they're MEANT to have. Mess and all.

We're going to share a few ways you can lean into that peace, purpose and trust the season you're in.

And while you're listening, we want you to hold this question with open hands:

Lord, what kind of childhood are You inviting me to co-create with You?

• God Knew What He Was Doing (01:35)
• Childhood Looks Different for Each Child in a Family (03:45)
• We're Here to Build a Family, Not a Childhood (05:30)
• What Now (11:15)
