Have you ever felt judged or misunderstood for the way you raise your children? Maybe it’s because you homeschool, because you’re protecting a medically fragile child, or because you're making decisions others don’t understand. When people don’t walk in your shoes, they can be quick to criticize—sometimes even family or close friends.

In today’s episode, I want to remind you: You’re not alone. This struggle is real, and it hurts. But there is hope, and there is comfort in Jesus. I’ll share real examples of these struggles and encouragement for those moments when you feel isolated, unseen, or judged. Let’s take a deep breath, cast our cares on Him, and find peace together.
XOXO,
Katie

play

Homeschooling can seem like a rollercoaster ride, if you don't know the success tips to create peace and progress. Whether you have a gifted learner, child with dyslexia, or an outside the box learner, the struggle is real. Overwhelm can become the name of the game.

Have you wondered if there are some common mistakes, BUT if you JUST knew about them, you'd avoid a lot of misery?

That emotional rollercoaster of a homeschool out of balance can look like this:
ELATION over successes
FEAR of failure
DESIRE and EXCITEMENT over the close relationships being built
THRILL of travel and schooling in the real world
AGONY when our child is struggling and we don't know what to do yet
... and SO much more.

Today we are bringing to you the top 4 mistakes homeschooling parents make, so you can get straight to the PEACE and PROGRESS you are searching for! NO MORE OVERWHELM for you, or your outside the box neurodivergent student!

It brings a smile to my face to know you will achieve big wins, faster.

Grab your notebook and warm cup of yumminess, and lets get started!

Hey Mama!

Unexpected anger, resentment, anxiety, overwhelming feelings of failure, yelling at the kids or hubby... it can sneak up and happen to anyone!!! Mom stress and burnout is REAL.

With the holidays around the corner, we are going to deep dive into:
- what burnout is
- how to know if you are facing it
- and how to AVOID IT.

I want us to schedule time for refreshing holistic SELF CARE into our holiday calendar this year!!! (Yes Mama, I give you permission!)

So, this episode is happening THIS WEEK because I want you to block off time NOW in that gorgeous planner to:

-put down the endless tasks, and JUST enjoy your family
-soak in the Motherhood moments because they are fleeting
-breathe deeply and relax with holiday self care
-enjoy BEING. Not just doing.
-focus on how mindset can shift our joy significantly, even when things aren't perfect

Today Dr. Jessica Buhler and I are breaking down mom burnout, and showing you what it is, so you can call it out and get rid of it ONCE AND FOR ALL with simple holistic shifts that create joy, peace, health, and happiness! Drop kick overwhelm to the curb with this episode!

Self care is not selfish, it makes life BETTER for everyone around you which is a bonus! I was wisely counseled once, that if I wanted to know the state of my self care and mental health... just ask my hubby and kids because they would know. LOL! So... its really a benefit to everyone else too, when we care for ourselves!

Every mom needs to hear this, especially a special needs homeschooling parent or mother of high needs and neurodiverse kids. It's always a good reminder, no matter how many times we have overcome burnout and overwhelm before. It's always a temptation to get overcommitted and start putting ourselves last, especially during the holiday season.

Grab your warm mug of goodness, and let's dig in.
XO
Katie

With the kids stuck at home not feeling well, have you wondered how to keep them learning, while also giving them a break from structured lessons and screens?

Me too, friend! This week has been a whirlwind of sniffles and cozy blankets in our house, and while snuggles are definitely important, I also want to make sure learning doesn't completely come to a halt.

In this episode, I'm sharing my secrets for keeping homeschooling afloat even on sick days, and guess what?

They're secrets straight out of the Charlotte Mason playbook! We'll explore ways to make learning fun and engaging, without needing a ton of energy from you or your little ones. Think audiobooks (a Charlotte Mason favorite for nurturing a love of language!), creative screen time that sparks curiosity, and simple meal ideas that won't leave you chained to the kitchen.

So grab a warm mug of tea (or cough syrup, whatever you need!), and tune in for some encouragement and practical tips for homeschooling through the sniffles.

This episode is your antidote to overwhelm, and a sneaky way to weave some Charlotte Mason magic into your sick days! See you there!

XOXO,
Katie
