Homeschooling is more than a lesson plan. It's about relationships. Join two friends with 33+ years of experience as they talk real life, curriculum, challenges and the freedom to do things differently. Honest conversation, lots of laughs and plenty of grace for every stage of the homeschool journey.
Character and obedience have to come before curriculum - especially when you’re the teacher, the principal, and the parent all at once. In this 2 part series, Lora shares how her family prioritized heart issues before schoolwork, and Erin opens up about the parenting lessons, missteps, and course corrections that shaped her own approach. Together, they unpack the difference between authoritarian, permissive, authoritative, neglectful, and helicopter parenting, and why most families need a thoughtful blend rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Swamp Of Sadness: The Evolution of Homeschooling Perceptions
Join us as we head over to Reddit AKA The Swamp of Sadness to unpack a recent urgent care story where a doctor of 35 years claims she’s seen a total flip flop over the last decade with homeschoolers now often seem more mature, outgoing, and comfortable speaking with adults than their traditionally schooled peers. From there, we dig into what might actually be behind the shift: screen based learning, fewer real conversations in school, the rise of online everything, and the social habits kids pick up from constant devices.
