Homeschool With Excellence

In this conversation, we explore what it looks like to move away from pressure and into a more grounded, relational way of homeschooling and living. This episode is a gentle invitation to slow down, trust yourself, and cultivate a home rooted not in performance—but in presence, peace, and connection. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough, or questioned whether you’re “doing it right,” t...

I’m so excited about this concept and continuing it consistently in my life. When we rest/play for 2&1/2 hours each day, our lives WILL drastically prosper. We become available to receive the divine downloads from heaven and as we act unhesitatingly and trustingly on those ideas, we make the BEST progress. In ways we couldn’t have imagined. There’s a ton of power in this concept. Be aware that in...

Welcome! As we become more aware of what gives us energy and what drains it, we can make small tweaks over time that will drastically improve the quality of our experience with our homeschool. I hope this will help you to breathe a little more freely and find more joy each day. Know that YOUR journey has AAALLLL the elements in it to make it the best story ever.

Hello and welcome back! If you’d like a formula for saying goodbye to overwhelm/urgency/anxiety, listen in💖 It doesn’t happen overnight, but as one leans in to new mindsets and practices compassion for the part of you that can’t quite believe YET, the rewards are there all along the way. Your children won’t be able to thank you enough as adults, if you decide to do this work.

So many of us sincerely wish to be able to do more for freedom. Very often though we feel helpless and don’t know how to go about it effectively. That you are here at this point in time is not an accident; your specific heart/talent/skills are needed to bring healing and wholeness to the people around you. If you don’t do what your design is meant to accomplish, no one else will as effectively do...

Welcome to Homeschool With Excellence! In this episode it’s all about attaining wholeness inside ourselves more frequently. Because when we can attain that on demand, we greatly increase our inspiration muscle as a teacher. And wherever there is an inspiring teacher teaching, great learning is happening.

Here are some questions you might ask in these meetings: What are you excited about these days? 5+ How are you doing playing with your siblings? 5+ How are you doing in your education? 8+ Is there anything that bothers you? Also I accidentally discovered a neat detail. If you have a barstool for your child to sit on while you sit on a regular chair, it elevates them a bit, and that feels really gr...

Two homeschooling women discussing bringing love and light front and center in their homes. It was such a treat sitting with Kortni in person on her beautiful, old-fashioned, rust colored, comfy chairs with the sunshine streaming over us. The kids were all happily playing downstairs while we did our grown up thing🤩 Thank you for sharing your heart so beautifully with us, Kortni💖✨ Also, I am hos...

Hi and welcome! It was fun considering some lessons that stood out for me from last year. I love getting older (I’m 37 and a half) and wiser because I get to move through life easier the wiser I get. And I’m all over that. And by the way, I gave myself full permission to not be putting episodes out regularly for a while now; I was living a rich and meaningful life and did not have it in me to also...

Hello! Welcome back! Our home culture is up to us parents to build and steward and when something is not working well, it can feel like quite a load. Mostly, we are all constantly troubleshooting some area mentally, looking for solutions. This episode offers some practical ideas that have helped us in our home. All the best to you as you navigate your unique and special set of challenges in leadin...

Hello! Welcome back! What does the Declaration of Independence have to do with homeschooling? As mothers we want to inspire our children to value and study the freedom documents in order to be equipped to stand firmly for liberty in their own unique way. And being able to stand firmly in their own unique way will demand courage and leadership, which will grow significantly as they understand the d...

Welcome back! Scholar Phase is when a person studies the classics for 5-8 thousand hours-with a mentor’s help for at least part of that-and the ideal time for that season in one’s life is when one is a youth. When an individual gets a Scholar Phase, he has a great education and can build even more on it. When an individual doesn’t have a Scholar Phase, he doesn’t have a great education. One is def...

Hello! Today’s episode is all about skills #12-27 in parenting our beautiful 10-14 yo children, i.e. Keep reading aloud to them, Treat them like adults, Listen to them, Don’t get them “ahead” in life; relax… and more! Enjoy!

Welcome to Homeschool With Excellence! There’s a lot to be said for the importance of understanding when the ideal time is for certain lessons to be learned in a person’s life (aka Leadership Education The Phases of Learning). Is it ideal for a 6 yo to sit and labor over pages of math regularly? Or is it ideal for that 6 yo to be playing with magnatiles and tan grams and dice and hearing stories a...

Welcome to Homeschool With Excellence! Enjoy this first set of 6 skills originally from Mel Lovine about how to parent well these young people in our homes. The link for Mentoring In The Classics that I refer to is learning. TJED.org.

Are you the parent of children these ages? Or of children who will be these ages? This season in a young person’s life determines whether they deeply learn the lessons of the conveyor belt path or the lessons of the leadership path. And… you guessed it: as parents, we are the ones who largely encourage one path or the other. There are beautiful things we can do to love our children well and empowe...

Welcome back! There’s a lot going on for our children when they are in their teen years. And there’s a lot we can do beforehand to prepare them to take advantage of those years. Those are the years that can be used to gain the knowledge and skills to then live their missions more fully and effectively as adults. We can put the odds in the favor of them being inspired to put in the work necessary t...

Welcome to Homeschool With Excellence! Today I share a bit of my healing journey.. from growing up in a dysfunctional home to now being the mom of my own family. It’s been filled with rich experiences both sad and happy and lots of growing, and I appreciate all the beautiful souls who’ve supported me along the way. I wish you all the support you need as you navigate your own journey.

Welcome! Which curriculum best brings out the genius that is inherent in all of us? A deep question that deserves a deep answer.. Listen in to hear my thoughts on this very important topic.

Hello! Welcome to Homeschool With Excellence! Today’s conversation is around how we navigate screens in our home and what we prioritize for fun ahead of that. I’m sure there are many good ways of accomplishing this, and I hope you might find some element here that inspires you!

Hello! Welcome to Homeschool With Excellence! It is our choice as parents whether our children get schooling or an education. We build the environment. We are powerful. We set the example. Our children choose how they interact with and respond to their environment. They are powerful. When you look into your children’s eyes, what do you see? Do you see intelligence and beauty and genius? Yes!! What...

Welcome back to Homeschool With Excellence! When we reward our children with video games, we are actually elevating the video game culture. Is that really what we desire as parents? What if there’s a better way? What if we don’t have to give in to the pressure of this prevalent video game culture? We don’t! And this episode covers why and how. Find me on FB and ask for support!

Welcome back! We know our children are special. We know there’s a certain mission each one has and if they do it, it will enrich the lives of the people around them. But if they grow up being taught that their creativity gets them in trouble, that they need to wait to act until the ‘expert’ tells them what to do, or that their value depends on how other people perceive them, then we are not settin...

Welcome back to Homeschool With Excellence! Would you love to feel better every day? It is absolutely within your reach. All we need to do to begin is to enjoy the moment. To notice what your five senses are experiencing and to lean into that, to bask in it. And then repeat throughout your day. It makes new patterns in our brain when we do this intentionally every day; it opens new possibilities f...
