    Freedom in Homeschool: Alexa's Coaching Call
    2023/11/27
    Alexa is a new homeschooling mom, trying to check all the boxes to be sure she's giving her preschooler the best start. In this call, we try to get clear about her real values, and how she can check those boxes rather than being bogged down by what school should look like. We create a system that provides flexibility for her family and encourages self-directed learning for her already reading preschooler.

  • Day 1 What are you looking forward to this summer?

    Day 1 What are you looking forward to this summer?
    2023/08/01
    One thing I've learned in five years of home education is that systems play an important role in saving our brains from decision fatigue and overwhelm. Whether we are aware of them or not, we are always operating in a system of our habits. School is a system. It is one decision (go to school) that determines many decisions (daily, weekly and annual schedules, what to learn, when and how, when to go to the bathroom and when to get a drink, and sometimes what to wear). When kids come home from school, whether to start homeschool or for summer break, we need to replace the system we have been currently operating under, with a new system...that is, if we want to avoid decision fatigue. Decision fatigue for kids usually looks like "I'm bored." We can fall into a system, we can borrow a system, or we can intentionally create a system. I recommend the last option, and that's what my 7 day challenge is designed to help you create! It will be a simple system that fosters your kids' natural learning, supports independence, and honors the values and needs of your individual family. And one of those needs can be flexibility! It's built in! This episode goes over the first challenge of seven. I hope you will join me!

  • Values-Driven Life: Making Peace with Screen Time, pt. 5

    Values-Driven Life: Making Peace with Screen Time, pt. 5
    2023/07/18

    How to deal with mom guilt when it comes to making healthy boundaries around technology use. In this episode we discuss how our values determine what we give our time to, or what we think we "should" give our time to. The latter is the cause of most "mom guilt"--whether it's a judgement about how we are using our own time or how we are allowing our kids to use their time. To make peace with ourselves (or our mom guilt) and peace with our kids, we need to get clear about what we value, and make systems that help us live in alignment with our values on our most tired days. Let's talk about how!

  • Moving from Obligation to Joy

    Moving from Obligation to Joy
    2023/06/07

    Let's talk about JOY! The purpose of all of this is to find joy. In this episode, I share with you how my routines have helped me create a life I enjoy DAILY, not just the life I think I SHOULD be living. It starts with getting clear about your own desires, and believing you are GOOD and therefore your desires are GOOD. You can build a routine that shapes YOUR good life when you stop using someone else's definition of success.

    Day 3 Morning and Evening Routines
    2023/06/03
    This is Day 3 of my 7 Day challenge and I'm obviously still getting the hang of editing! Please forgive the poor edits and try to focus on the content! 🫣 This episode is about creating morning and evening routines that meet your unique needs and goals. In other words, routines that will stick because they're built for the life you actually have and want, rather than the life you think you should have.
