 “You must have so much patience.”

“What about prom?”

“My kids are way too social for that.”

If you’re a homeschool mom, chances are you’ve heard all the questions—and the sideways comments that come with them. 😅 

In this honest, lighthearted, and faith-fueled episode, I chat with Linda Ugelow about the surprising (and sometimes hilarious) things people say when they hear we homeschool—and why we keep doing it anyway.

We dive into:

  • The real reasons we chose homeschooling

  • What people get wrong about homeschool families

  • How faith, freedom, and creativity show up in everyday learning

  • How homeschooling shapes independent, joyful thinkers

Whether you homeschool or just do life differently, this episode will leave you inspired to trust your gut, tune out the noise, and raise kids with purpose.
