Teach Them Diligently

Surviving Mid-Year Homeschool Burnout | 336


Listen Later

The mid-year slump is real, and for many homeschool families, February and early March bring feelings of burnout, discouragement, and exhaustion. The excitement of the new school year has faded, the holidays are long past, and spring still feels out of reach. 

In this episode, Leslie Nunnery unpacks the real reasons behind this seasonal struggle—whether it’s winter blues, exhaustion, comparison traps, or feeling off-track—and provides encouraging, faith-based strategies to regain joy in homeschooling. She reminds us that homeschooling is a tool, not the mission itself, and encourages us to reset our focus on discipleship and relationship-building. 

Join us for a refreshing, hope-filled conversation that will help you navigate this season with renewed strength and purpose. 

Topics Covered in this Episode:

✔️ The common causes of mid-year burnout 

✔️ How to discern whether you need a break or a mindset shift 

✔️ Practical ways to reset your heart and your homeschool 

✔️ The power of community and leaning into God’s strength 

If you’re struggling to find motivation or wondering if you’re even making progress, this episode is for you!
