Ever looked around your homeschool and thought, “Am I even doing this right?” You’re juggling curriculum, caregiving, emotional support, and keeping everyone fed—and it can feel like everything is slipping through the cracks. I’ve been there. And I want to speak directly to your heart today.

In this episode, I share a personal story about a year I felt like a complete failure—when even my simplest plans fell apart. Together, we’ll unpack what it really means to feel like you’re failing, why that feeling doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong, and how God meets us in the middle of the mess.

If you’re starting this homeschool year already wondering if you’ve messed it up—this is for you. You’ll leave with encouragement, biblical truth, and a simple reflection tool that can reframe your perspective and anchor your heart.

Let’s walk through this together.
