  • Thoughtful & intentional

    Carrie is such an inspiring homeschool mom with a wealth of knowledge and ideas to curate a homeschool that fits your families needs to meet you at the season you are in. She is creative and I love how her ideas create connections. I was listening to her podcast for a while and then had the privilege to meet her at a homeschool conference last summer- she is just as kind and caring in person as she is behind this podcast. You feel like family and she truly listens. Look no further for a podcast ... more

  • Endlessly inspiring!

    This podcast first planted the idea of homeschooling for me. Then, Carrie’s less-is-more, relaxed approach made me feel like I could actually do it and move out of the fantasy stage. A year later we are in our first year of homeschooling and I’m so grateful! I have taken SO many ideas from this podcast and have applied them to designing my own homeschool with my children. This podcast is such an incredible resource each and every week. Thank you, Carrie!!

  • Soul-filling and inspiring

    This show is the podcast version of sitting down for the best kind of coffee date with a wiser, older homeschool mama kindred spirit. I leave every episode more grounded in my reasons for homeschooling, more confident of God’s faithfulness, and more equipped with practical ideas from a mom who knows intimately all the challenges I face. Highly recommend!

Homeschool High School Q & A: Collaboration With Rachel Kovac
Q: What should be considered about dual enrollment and transferability of credits?
Assess readiness and transfer policies at target colleges; ensure credits will transfer and be useful to avoid wasted time and money; consider the student's goals and the practical realities of college completion times.
Homeschool High School Q & A: Collaboration With Rachel Kovac
Q: How can high school writers develop strong writing skills beyond AP courses?
Read extensively, leverage co-op classes or writing-focused curricula, and have support shown by mentors rather than heavy-handed editing at home; emphasize transferable writing skills rather than rigid five-paragraph formats.
Homeschool High School Q & A: Collaboration With Rachel Kovac
Q: What is the best way to help our kids find their calling or career?
Encourage exposure to diverse paths early—internships, job shadowing, passion projects, and classes that broaden experience beyond a single interest—so they can discover what truly fits and avoid romanticized notions of a career.
Creating A Calmer Home: A Conversation With Jami Glenn
Q: How can moms practically start creating a calmer home today?
Start with simple routines like eye contact, outside time, and set aside a no-screen zone to foster storytelling and connection. Introduce a short quiet time (10-20 minutes) and model it as a family habit, so everyone can regulate their nervous system.
Creating A Calmer Home: A Conversation With Jami Glenn
Q: What is your working definition of discipline and how do you approach it at home?
Discipline should be about guiding kids to become responsible autonomous decision makers, not punishment. It involves connecting with the child first to understand their perspective, then coaching them through the situation so they learn from it and can make better choices in the future.
