Homeschooling a gifted or twice-exceptional (2e) child can feel like juggling flaming swords while walking a tightrope. If you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or wondering if you’re doing enough—you are not alone.
In this episode of Take Back My Brain, I sit down with Melissa Muir, homeschool mom and founder of Curio, to talk about what it really looks like to support bright learners without burning out. We dive into the power of outsourcing, embracing your strengths, and finding peace in the “messy middle” of motherhood and education.
Whether you’re new to homeschooling or in deep with a complex kid, this conversation is full of grace, practical help, and permission to do it differently.
🎧 Press play and be reminded: you don’t have to do it all to be doing it well.
