Episode 20: Public, Charter, or Homeschool? (Asking for a Mom Friend)
Choosing a school shouldn’t feel like choosing your child’s destiny — but here we are, panic-Googling “best school near me” at 11 p.m. In this episode of Call Your Mom Friends, Amey (IBCLC), Lauren (labor nurse), and Charity (bodyworker) get real about school choice — from public vs. charter vs. homeschooling to the guilt, judgment, and what if I mess this up? spiral every mom knows too well.
Between laughs, mom-life meltdowns, and one epic Google review rant, they unpack the emotional load of raising kids while trying to make “the right” decision (whatever that means). It’s part parenting podcast, part therapy session, and all-around reminder that there’s no perfect path — just real moms, real talk, and maybe a few cold nuggets along the way.
Because motherhood doesn’t come with a user manual — but it does come with friends who get it.
✨ In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- Charity launched a mental health t-shirt initiative.
- Parenting comes with both highs and lows, especially with toddlers.
- Running a business can be overwhelming, especially with client interactions.
- School choices are a significant decision for parents, impacting family dynamics.
- Different educational methods, like Montessori and unschooling, cater to various learning styles.
- Parents often feel judged for their schooling choices, leading to stress.
- Community support is vital for parents navigating challenges in education.
- Exploring different schooling options can lead to better outcomes for children.
✨ Don't miss 'Call Waiting' — our mom-friend call-in segment where real moms share raw, hilarious, and relatable stories you won’t hear in the school pickup line.
