What If I Get This Wrong? The Truth About Starting Homeschooling With Fear

When I first thought about homeschooling, one question kept me up at night: “What if I get this wrong?”
 
People would say, “There’s no way to mess this up,” but I didn’t believe them. It felt like there had to be a way to ruin it—to fail my kids, to miss something important, or to fall so far behind we’d never catch up.
 
If you’ve ever felt the same, you’re not alone.
 
In this episode of Homeschool Hug, I’m sharing my honest, messy journey with fear, failure, and perfectionism in homeschooling—and how I finally learned that the only way to fail is to never start.

In this episode, we cover:

✅ The fears that almost kept me from starting homeschooling (and why they felt so real)
✅ How perfectionism almost bullied me into giving up
✅ The simple mindset shift that helped me move forward
✅ The only ways you can truly get homeschooling wrong (hint: it’s probably not what you think)
✅ How to recognize when fear is keeping you stuck—and how to push through it
 
Here’s what I learned: You don’t have to get it perfect—you just have to get it started.
 
If fear is keeping you stuck, this episode is for you. You’ll walk away feeling encouraged, equipped, and ready to take the next step—even if it feels scary.
