Text Us, We Love Hearing From You:)
Hicunni (aka Coach Keenie) opens up about what really happens when homeschooling ends, not the cute “empty nest” version, but the quiet identity free-fall no one talks about. After 15 years of building life around lesson plans, lunches, and learning rhythms… what happens when the kids graduate, the schedule disappears, and you’re left asking:
“Who am I now, and what do I even want anymore?”
Inside this episode, you’ll hear:
- The surprising moment at a fall festival that shifted Hicunni’s whole direction
- Why retired homeschool moms don’t just “get their life back”, they have to build a new one
- The 3 mindset shifts that make midlife feel like a comeback, not a crisis
- A journaling question to help you reconnect with who you are now (not who you used to be)
This one is especially for the women who didn’t leave a job; they left a whole identity. You’re not broken. You’re in transition. And you don’t have to “start over”… just start after.
