In this episode, I sit down with Kami Wanous, founder of The Freedom Scholar, to talk about why so many homeschooling families struggle and how to move beyond it. 

Kami shares her early experience of recreating school at home, which quickly led to frustration for both her and her son. Can you relate?

The turning point came when she stopped focusing on checking boxes and started rebuilding his love of learning. This was a real game-changer. 

Together, we talk about the pressure of “educational shoulds,” how that pressure lowers motivation, and why curiosity must come before academic rigor. 

Kami explains how we can bridge what our kids love with what society values, creating both engagement and real skill. We also talk about the importance of community and being intentional parents. 

At the heart of it all is this reminder: we are not just educating children, we are raising future adults who need to be confident, lifelong learners. Are you in?
