What if you’ve been climbing the wrong mountain all along?

In this episode, Anya shares a moment of clarity from the middle of Seussville—yes, in the Cat in the Hat store at Universal Studios—where a quote from Alice in Wonderland sparked a powerful realization about homeschool, direction, and how easy it is to follow a path that was never meant for you.

Find out what Alice, the Cheshire Cat, the Inuit, and the Maya families have in common. They may come from wildly different worlds, but each one teaches us something powerful about direction, trust, and choosing a path that’s truly your own.

So, if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, misaligned, or unsure of your next homeschool step, this episode will meet you with compassion—and clarity.

• Why “just getting somewhere” isn’t the same as choosing where you want to go—and how that mindset shift can change your homeschool.
• The powerful lesson homeschool parents can take from the Maya and Inuit—trusting observation over rigid structure.
• How to stop climbing someone else’s mountain—and start creating a homeschool rhythm that’s aligned with your values, not social media noise.

1️⃣ Clarity Beats Motion: Like Alice, we can wander endlessly if we haven’t defined where we actually want to go.

2️⃣ Not All Mountains Are Yours to Climb: Just because a homeschool path is popular doesn’t mean it aligns with your values.

3️⃣ Observation Is Powerful: From the Inuit to the Maya to Montessori—true learning starts with watching, not forcing.

4️⃣ Your Child Doesn’t Need More—They Need Aligned: More drills, tests, and trendy curriculum don’t equal better—alignment does.

5️⃣ You Are Not Lost—You’re Pausing: Feeling stuck might just be the moment before your greatest clarity. Trust the pause.
