Homeschooling can be deeply rewarding, but let’s be honest—it can also feel like a lot. In this episode of Empowering Homeschool Conversations, our co-host team opens up about the emotional rollercoaster that often comes with homeschooling, especially when you're juggling unique learning needs, everyday family life, and your own personal expectations. Join us as we talk candidly about how emotional overwhelm shows up, share the real moments we’ve struggled (and grown), and offer practical, grace-filled strategies for finding peace in the chaos. Whether you're in the thick of a hard season or just looking for encouragement from moms who’ve been there, this conversation is here to remind you: you're not alone, and you can homeschool from a place of hope, not burnout.
