If you've ever had your doubts about homeschooling, Yvonne Strachan has a message for YOU. Combining her experience homeschooling her five children over the last thirteen years with her convictions of faith, Yvonne shares in this episode stories, wisdom, and real talk about the struggles and triumphs of homeschooling that make it all worthwhile. As you listen to her, it will be no wonder that she is a successful blogger, speaker, consultant, and author of the aptly named book, Inspirational Homeschooling. 

Yvonne shares how she went from wishing she could homeschool her oldest child to later delighting in her husband's suggestion of it, and the successful career designing kitchens that she placed on the back burner (pun appreciated) in exchange for focusing her time on her kids. She also shares how raising a special needs child has enhanced her appreciation for homeschooling, her advice for those who might still feel unsure, and some cathartic honesty about how a colicky baby can disrupt your best plans without ruing your children's access to a quality education. 

Yvonne also relates how she balances her professional life with her home life and role as an educator, how homeschooling has made her family stronger, and how we can all prepare for when the interests of our children lead their ambitions in new directions. This is a truly inspirational interview that you do not want to miss!
