Homeschool Moms Unfiltered

While this episode does offer some practical ideas for lightening the load, it’s mostly a big “yeah, we see you… we feel you” moment for homeschool parents and caregivers. Homeschooling comes with a huge amount of invisible labor.  The curriculum research, the constant decision-making, the emotional regulation, and the mental load of managing your kids’ education and well-being every day… can feel like a lot. In many ways, homeschooling amplifies the behind-the-scenes work that already exists in parenting. And even though we truly love homeschooling and believe in it deeply, that doesn’t mean it isn’t exhausting sometimes. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I didn’t even do that much today… why am I so tired?” - this episode is your reminder that you’re not the only one feeling overwhelmed, and you’re definitely not doing it wrong.

We’d love to invite you to join our book club.  Reading books among community matters so much. Homeschooling can feel isolating, but processing complex topics alongside like-minded people helps fill your cup, sharpen your thinking, and remind you that you’re not navigating this alone. Our next book club will be How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk.

In this episode, we’re digging into one of the most common fears in the homeschool world: will homeschooling damage your relationship with your child? We unpack the idea of the “teacher hat” versus the “parent hat,” talk about where that pressure comes from, and explore what actually causes tension at home (hint: it’s usually not homeschooling itself). Whether you’re just starting out or feeling strain after years in, we share honest reflections, practical shifts, and reassurance that you don’t have to choose between being a connected parent and an effective educator… the two aren’t more closely related than you might think.

Is there actually a “right” way to homeschool? In this episode, we cut through the homeschool aesthetics, color-coded schedules, and curriculum debates to talk about what truly matters - and what absolutely doesn’t. We unpack the non-negotiables (safety, accountability, and avoiding abuse or neglect) and redefine homeschool success as growth, mental health, curiosity, and preparation for real adulthood… not perfect grades or performative achievement. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by comparison or unsure if you’re “doing enough,” this conversation will ground you in what actually counts and remind you that raising safe, capable, emotionally healthy humans is the real goal.

In this episode, we’re digging into what it actually looks like to raise civic-minded, critical-thinking kids in the absolute chaos that is our current world.  We’re talking about how to teach media literacy, logical fallacies, and real civics… not just memorizing the three branches of government, but understanding how power works, how propaganda spreads, and how to ask the most important question of all: who benefits? We share concrete resources, practical ways to explore bias at home, and why empathy isn’t a weakness - it’s an essential civic skill.
Because we are not raising kids for this moment. We are raising adults who will live with the consequences of it.  Think of this episode as your lifeline for progressive parenting in the shit storm that is 2026.  -Hopefully this serves as a reminder that you can’t control federal policy, but you can absolutely shape the thinkers sitting at your kitchen table.

This episode is a continuation of last week’s conversation with Tess from the Coalition for Responsible Home Education… only this time, it’s just us digging deeper. We take on the lightning-rod topic of homeschool regulation, talk kids’ rights vs. parents’ rights, and unpack why the lack of oversight in many states is a real problem. We also explore how weak regulation creates space for abuse, misinformation, and the rise of Christian nationalism within the homeschool movement. As always, we’re here for nuance, not fear-mongering, and we believe homeschooling can be both freeing and accountable.
