EP 8: "I am so afraid / worried __(fill in the blank)__" - How to overcome fear and worries in Home Education

All of us Home Educators feel this emotion on this journey - fear, which is related to anxiety and worry. 

"Have I done enough for my children?" 

"What if I have gotten it all wrong?" 

"Am I failing my kids?" 

In this episode, I share my reflections on this emotion to unpack it, and suggest some strategies to tackle it:

1) Making Home Education a mission 

2) Turn fear on itself and instead of thinking "what if", think about "what if not?" - What is the price or trade off if we are not homeschooling our children? 

3) Take action, one small step at a time. Taking action forces us to confront the fear, thinking about it just makes it bigger and more paralysing.
