Friends, in this solo episode I'm getting vulnerable and sharing what's been happening with my son and our recent decision to pull him out of school to homeschool. I discuss the health issues he's been facing, vomiting daily with no identifiable cause, and how we eventually realized it seems to stem from anxiety related to the school environment.

I talk about why we decided homeschooling is the best path forward right now - to help him regain confidence, settle his nervous system, and discover his interests outside of traditional school. I share my approach to facilitating his learning rather than recreating a classroom at home. While uncertain how it will unfold, I'm excited to nurture his self-directed curiosity and expose him to learning from daily life.

Ultimately, this ties into my broader message of living life on your own terms. I aim to model freedom for my children, creating space to thrive as individuals. If you're a fellow homeschooling parent, I welcome your tips and encouragement as we embark on this journey. To me, freedom means allowing my kids to learn in the best way for them.
