  • Finally found the help I needed!

    A friend of mine introduced me to this podcast, and it has been one of the first resources that’s been truly helpful.

I was desperate for help with teaching my boys executive function skills as well as to connect with other homeschooling moms who are in similar situat... more

  • Non homeschool help too!

    I don’t homeschool my kids but have been trying to support my neurodivergent son with the right tools and Sarah never fails with practical advice, patience, and framing the situation in terms of the child’s strengths. She reminds me of what goals are realistic on what timeline for him - no one else’s! Her tools are so easy to apply, you will be able to have instant implementation and slow, steady progress. A must listen to all who struggle with giving our kids what they need at their own paces!
