Do you wish you could get answers to all your homeschooling questions? Are you struggling to balance all your roles in this season of life?

My mission is to equip you in your calling to embrace and then thrive in your homeschool, motherhood, and homemaking. If you’re ready to get out of survival mode, feel confident, and have peace in your heart and home--you’re in the right place! Hi, I’m Leigh, a kingdom-minded wife and mom. I tried to duct tape my priorities together without the right focus for way too many years. I was busy chasing approval from others, trying to meet perceived external expectations, and flying by the seat of my pants as a homeschool mom. I finally realized that if I was going to fully embrace the life I had, I needed to operate from a place of peace and joy. That’s when I planted my feet firmly where I was and began to create beauty, seek simplicity, and live intentionally. And I’m ready to share this with you! If you are ready to love your life as a homeschool mom and to know for certainty that you are doing the right thing for your children--this podcast is for you! Close up that lesson book, mama, let the kids go play, it’s time for you to thrive! Let’s work together and get your homeschool to the place you just know it can be. We all can get stuck and not know what to do, how to adjust, or if we’re even doing it right. We’ll dive in deep to all the homeschool hot topics and create the homeschool that you and your children will thrive in!

Sometimes it seems like homeschoolers have their own secret language of terms. And today we are going to crack open one of those words: deschooling.
Let's tackle the subject of what it actually is. And then focus in on why you, as a homeschool parent, need to do it.
The goal is for you to feel empowered to take education back from what you think it needs to be to what it can be in your home. And I promise that you'll walk away from this episode with a little extra pep in your step!

If I walked into your home most days, you'd probably be afraid that I would think you were running a three ring circus. But in reality, there is a lot of energy within your home and your heart is feeling pretty chaotic about it all.
What if you were complicating things too much? And that was what was leading to the chaos? But your mind, body, and heart is craving simplicity and peace.
Grab a notebook and pen to write down a few simple keys to end the overcomplication, reduce chaos, and create that simple homeschool routine you know will benefit your entire family.
