Homeschool Unrefined


Oct 5, 2020

One of the secrets to a sustainable homeschool is YOU. Your strengths energize you, and what energizes you will energize your homeschool. Doing what you are good at and what you enjoy will make your homeschool more enjoyable, efficient, and empowered. So we're focusing on YOUR strengths in this episode. Listeners share their unique strengths and how they're rocking their strengths to rock their homeschool. We know you'll be inspired by the ways real-life parents are using their incredible, practical, and unconventional strengths in homeschool.

 

Takeaways

-ENERGIZE: Your strengths energize you, and what energizes you will energize your homeschool. 

 

-ENJOY: Doing what you are good at and what you enjoy will make your homeschool more enjoyable.

 

-EMBRACE: When we embrace our strengths, we give permission to our kids to do that same from an early age!

 

-EFFECTIVE & EFFICIENT: Working within your strengths is the most effective and efficient way to learn and work.

Listener Review

chemicalhippos, 09/16/2020

"Not only is this my favorite homeschool podcast, it’s my FAVORITE PODCAST. I listen to every episode and have recently started working through the back catalog. I’m a young mom and my kids are still young but I find so much reassurance in Maren and Angela’s stories about homeschooling and raising older kids. They are like the cool older sisters I never had and inspire me to chill out and focus on connecting with my kids instead of forcing them to do workbook after workbook. I also love getting a glimpse into their long and beautiful friendship. It’s a privilege to be a part of. "
