EPISODE 12
the truth about homeschooling & Losing yourself
When I first decided to homeschool, I was just starting to rediscover who I was.
I had picked up old hobbies, found new interests, started a business and I worried homeschooling might undo all of that.
In this episode of The Homeschool Hug, I talk about the fear so many moms have but rarely say out loud: What if this beautiful choice—homeschooling—makes me disappear again?
In this episode, I share:
✅ My personal journey with the fear of losing myself
✅ What it means to be the “default parent” and why it’s so exhausting
✅ The three boundaries that help me homeschool without giving up my identity
✅ How to shift your mindset so you can be a mom, a teacher, and yourself
You don’t have to give up everything to homeschool. You just need support and the right strategy.
