231 // From Drowning in "To-Dos" to Celebrating WINS: 1 Simple Mindset Shift for a Joyful Family and Holistic Homeschool

HER HOME & HEART / Simplifying Routines to Reduce Overwhelm for Christian Homeschool Moms

01/17/24 • 12 min

Feeling like you're drowning in a sea of to-dos? We've all been there! Battling anxiety, wrestling with whispering doubts, and trying to homeschool special needs kids?

**This podcast is your secret weapon. **

Today I’ll give you a life changing tip. It’s not a magic schedule or a productivity hack, but a way to shift your mindset and find joy in the chaos, even with those pesky doubts buzzing around.

This episode is all about celebrating tiny wins and making 1% shifts to transform your home and homeschool from messy mayhem to joyfulness amidst the chaos. ✨

Let's ditch the "to-do" drama and embrace the "done" list! Celebrate those small victories: folding a basket of laundry, squeezing in a hug, navigating meltdowns (and still getting through a math lesson!), or simply being present with your family. Every triumph deserves a cheer.

Remember, mamas, you're not in a sprint. We're on a beautiful, messy marathon! ✨ Celebrate the little things, make those 1% shifts (like a pilot tweaking his flight plan, and very much in the Charlotte Mason style of creating good habits!), and trust that tiny steps lead to big joy with your amazing kids.

Bonus tips:

Take deep breaths! ‍♀️ It helps reduce stress and aligns your whole body. (My physical therapist's wisdom!)

Remember Isaiah 28:10: "Precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little, there a little." We build our family goals slowly, step by step.

Join the Facebook group! Share your 1% shifts and connect with other families on this journey. ❤️

You got this, mama!

I'm cheering you on every step of the way.

See you next week!

XOXO,
Katie

225 // Overwhelmed By Holiday Packing? 5 Tips for Creating a Fun Life Skills Opportunity With Your Neurodivergent or Special Needs Child

HER HOME & HEART / Simplifying Routines to Reduce Overwhelm for Christian Homeschool Moms

12/20/23 • 15 min

Travel. It's synonymous with exploration, discovery, and creating lasting memories. But for families with neurodivergent kids, packing for a trip can feel like scaling Mount Overwhelm, complete with tantrums, tears, and sensory overload.

We know, we know. You want the travel brochures with beaming families basking on sunny beaches, not the ones featuring packing-induced meltdowns. But here's the thing: travel isn't just about reaching a destination; it's a powerful learning experience. Packing, with its concrete tasks and visual cues, is a treasure trove of opportunities for growth and development.

This episode isn't just about surviving the packing frenzy. It's about unlocking the hidden potential of those overflowing suitcases. We'll explore how packing can become a powerful "teachable moment" that hones essential life skills, fosters independence, and builds confidence. Imagine turning tantrums into triumphs, chaos into calm, and packing into a launchpad for growth.

Ready to transform packing from a chore to a developmental superpower? Today let’s uncover the hidden magic of travel and empower your child with every suitcase zip!

XOXO,
Katie

138 // 5 Ways To Create Time For Your Spouse Even As An Overwhelmed Homeschool Mom

HER HOME & HEART / Simplifying Routines to Reduce Overwhelm for Christian Homeschool Moms

02/17/23 • 22 min

Are you feeling worn thin, and have no time for your husband or yourself? Overwhelm with life has drained that spark you used to have?

Are you finding that you feel a bit empty inside, and maybe even distant from your husband who you know truly loves you? But it’s a bit rough lately?

As a busy homeschool mom, it can be difficult to manage everything that's going on in life and make time for your marriage. But it's essential to nurture your relationship with your spouse in order to cultivate a healthy marriage. As Christian parents, we want to honor the Lord in the way we manage our marriage, and our self care, but sometimes it feels overwhelming.

This podcast episode dives into how busy overwhelmed moms can make time for their husbands and keep their relationships strong- no matter how hectic life gets.

We'll discuss 5 tips for setting aside quality time with your spouse, including putting away the phone, planning regular date nights, communicating regularly, making time for physical intimacy, and not forgetting about yourself.

Listen in as we chat about ways you can nurture your marriage even when you're pulled in a million different directions. Nurturing as a lifestyle, the Charlotte Mason way, extends to every family member, not just the kids.
This podcast will provide practical advice for staying connected with your spouse while homeschooling those special kids, and living a busy overwhelming life, so that both of you can feel supported and heard no matter what life throws at you!

XOXO,

Katie

130 // 7 Reasons Setting Boundaries Will Stop Overwhelm, Bring Peace To Your Heart, And Set You Free

HER HOME & HEART / Simplifying Routines to Reduce Overwhelm for Christian Homeschool Moms

01/20/23 • 17 min

(Link to Book discussed today is below this description...)
Hey Friend,

Do you struggle to say NO?
Are you stressed and need a CHANGE, but HOW?

When we live without boundaries, we cannot live in the authentic truth of who God created us to be. Instead we will feel bitter, angry, short tempered, yell at the kids, get irritated with our spouse.... need I go on?

We have ALLLLLL been there!

Often we wonder- why is my life like this? How can I just feel like myself again? Why do I feel so bad around her? Or other things that float through our minds in the midst of the frustration and exhaustion.

Today I discuss 7 reasons that setting clear boundaries will set you FREE. If you want peace in motherhood or marriage, a joyful homeschool experience, more time to do proper self care so you can feel renewed.... then THIS is a perfect episode for you.

I have been on this journey for a number of years, and I literally CAN'T WAIT to share all these golden nuggets with you! This has revolutionized my peace and sense of self, and my understanding of how God sees me. I pray that this episode might start that journey for you too.

So grab your notebook and pen, a hot cup of goodness, and let's dig into another holistic way of BRINGING HOME SOME PEACE! <3
XOXO,
Katie

11/02/22 • 16 min

Have you got an outside-the-box kiddo, struggling learner, or special needs child? Are you overwhelmed by what to do? Not sure how to support them best?

I have an AMAZING secret to success for you, in your homeschool and your child's education journey. This is a tip that I have learned over more than a decade in working with my own children who had various learning challenges.

And through it all I wanted to cut the overwhelm and anxiety, and live a life of self care and joy on the motherhood journey.

You CAN have joy in this journey, and a richer experience in your special needs homeschooling than you ever thought possible.

Let's dive in!
