Hi, I'm Steph. I grew up going to public school and with parents who punched a time clock. I never thought I'd take a different path. Then my high school sweetheart husband dropped out of college and pursued entrepreneurship and a series of circumstances made me reluctant to put my oldest child in public school. Now, I'm a homeschooling mom of 5, a former RN turned jewelry designer & small business owner. I'm sharing everything you need to know when it comes to raising children, homeschooling, motherhood and more.

Homeschooling Through Anxiety: Showing up on the Hard Days.
<p>Today's episode is a quiet, honest conversation about homeschooling through overwhelm and anxiety. Not the kind that shows up on his schedules or lesson plans, but the kind that you carry inside while still showing up for your kids. I am sharing a few reflections from my own journey and some encouragement for the mom who's doing her best on days that feel heavier than she expected. </p><p><br><br></p><ul><li>Show Notes:</li><li>00:00 Intro</li><li>03:12 The Impact of Anxiety on Homeschooling</li><li>05:42 Coping Mechanisms and Support Systems</li><li>08:51 Navigating Motherhood and Mental Health</li><li>11:46 Adjusting Expectations in Homeschooling</li><li>14:42 Self-Care and Its Importance</li><li>17:34 Finding Strength in Vulnerability</li><li>18:29 Encouragement for Struggling Moms</li><li>18:29 Introduction to Personal Passion and Jewelry Design</li><li>19:43 Introduction to the Anxiety Journey</li><li>19:59 Finding Strength in Vulnerability</li><li>21:20 Encouragement for Struggling Moms</li><li>25:06 The Power of Morning Rituals</li><li>25:34 Embracing Presence in Difficult Times</li><li>25:45 Building Confidence in Everyday Style</li><li>26:13 Rediscovering Your Personal Style</li></ul><p></p><p><br></p><p>Links: </p><p></p><ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://hslda.org/legal?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=10694975485&gbraid=0AAAAADv9Ad48Vilg6BIIEJf0jabMrC14F&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoZbBBhDCARIsAOqMEZUqmwjcZKvzVwOtWmfpX1W06KvOsx5RaDnunNqYNh6nEzdQK3q3JPIaAgBWEALw_wcB">State Laws for homeschool</a></li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>Check out my jewelry.

When Reading Comes Later—and Why That’s Okay
<p>Today's episode is a solo conversation that's been sitting on my heart since the experience happened. I'm sharing about my older two kids and their reading journey, what it's looked like to homeschool children who would be considered behind by traditional standards. The feelings I have had recently ordering their curriculum and why I chose not to push reading when they were younger. If you've ever questioned your timing, your choices, or wondered if you're doing enough, this episode is for you. </p><p><br><br></p><ul><li>Show Notes:</li><li>00:00 Intro</li><li>00:38 New Year Reflections and Family Health Challenges</li><li>03:01 Homeschooling Journey: Curriculum Choices and Family Dynamics</li><li>08:08 Introduction to Personal Passion and Jewelry Design</li><li>09:22 New Year Reflections and Family Health Challenges</li><li>09:24 Homeschooling Journey: Curriculum Choices and Family Dynamics</li><li>12:41 Navigating Learning Differences and Reading Progress</li><li>19:52 Trusting the Process: Embracing Individual Learning Paths</li><li>25:28 Embracing Individual Learning Journeys</li><li>25:59 The Importance of Mindful Parenting in Education</li><li>26:07 Building Confidence in Everyday Style</li><li>26:36 Rediscovering Your Personal Style</li></ul><p></p><p><br></p><p>Links: </p><p></p><ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://hslda.org/legal?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=10694975485&gbraid=0AAAAADv9Ad48Vilg6BIIEJf0jabMrC14F&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoZbBBhDCARIsAOqMEZUqmwjcZKvzVwOtWmfpX1W06KvOsx5RaDnunNqYNh6nEzdQK3q3JPIaAgBWEALw_wcB">State Laws for homeschool</a></li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>Check out my jewelry.
