90-Minute School Day

Ep. 52 – Becoming Brave Writers with Julie Bogart


Listen Later

Ever wonder why it’s hard to express yourself in writing?

Join Julie Bogart, myself, and the DITL community for a down-to-earth conversation about helping the resistant writer in all of us become brave writers.

In this episode, Julie shares her own journey from homeschool parent to national voice for authentic education, unpacking what writing really is and why so many of us, parents and kids alike, carry writing wounds. Together, we explore how to help our children find their voices through partnership, play, and trust, and how parents and kids can begin to heal their own relationships with writing along the way.

So, if you have a child who hides under the table when the pencil comes out or fills notebooks with stories, this conversation will leave you excited, hopeful, and equipped to support writing as a natural form of expression…not a performance.

**This episode is part 5 of a 5-part podcast series, Start Where You Are. (Be sure to catch up with the rest of the series, linked below.)

 What We Talk About

  • Why writing begins with speech (and what that means for reluctant writers)
  • The five natural stages of writing development
  • Why freewriting and messy drafts matter more than perfect sentences
  • How parents and students can repair their own writing trauma, it’s never too late
  • What “writing off the page” looks like for kids in burnout or recovery
  • The role of trust and nervous system safety in a child’s creative growth

      Did this conversation leave you wanting more?

      Our Day in the Life members stayed on for a live Q+A with Julie, diving deeper into real-life applications and parent questions. In fact, we studied writing together for an entire month.

      If you’re raising an out-of-the-box, neurodivergent, or special needs child, you’ll find a warm homecoming inside the Day in the Life community. It’s a space for parents practicing flow over force, learning to trust the process, and supporting each other through the hard and beautiful work of homeschooling differently.
