Alright friends—let's talk history. If you've ever felt like homeschool history is either boring, overwhelming, or impossible to find without the fluff—this episode is for you.

I'm sharing my Hot Takes: History I Would Recommend—the secular, smart, and actually engaging resources that are making a real difference in our homeschool. No busywork. No filler. Just meaningful, context-rich history that sticks.

Here's what I'm covering:
✨ The power of Crash Course Black American History
✨ The depth of David's History for the Ages
✨ Affordable finds on Teachers Pay Teachers
✨ Thought-provoking lessons from the OER Project
✨ The immersive storytelling of The Nomadic Professor

If you're tired of history feeling like a snoozefest or you've been struggling to find secular homeschool history resources that spark curiosity—this is your sign. These are the tools that bring clarity, context, and critical thinking into our homeschool days.

💬 I'd love to hear from you! What's the best history resource that's worked in your homeschool? Drop a comment or share with me so we can build a library of awesome options together.
