Join Trudie as she interviews Rachel Kovac, author of Their Future Is Shining Bright.

As a writer, speaker, and educator, Rachel understands the uncertainty many parents feel when deciding whether to homeschool through high school. She empowers her readers with vision, practical guidance, and encouragement drawn from years of experience homeschooling her own children through high school, and guiding them into college with scholarships. She helps families approach academics, college admissions, and alternative pathways with confidence, while nurturing a home life rooted in connection, purpose, and love.
Rachel lives in Texas with her husband and four of their six children, as their eldest two are away attending college. When she's not writing or homeschooling, she finds joy in photography, sewing, gardening, baking sourdough, and learning Italian.
