Hi friend,

In this quick update, I'm sharing a little about why things have been quiet lately and why I'm hitting pause to take my advice to reflect, reset, and refresh. To Be still and remember He is still God, especially during the most difficult seasons of our life.

Please know it's certainly not goodbye, just a short break to adjust and come back stronger. In the meantime, I hope you'll subscribe, go back and listen to your favorite episodes, and keep sharing with other moms who need to catch their breath.

Till then, remember - in every challenging season of life or homeschooling, pause. Breathe. And remember, He is God, and we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.

Thanks for your understanding and all the support!

Hey friend,

Ever feel like you’re waiting for a nod or a green light to just... breathe? To decide what’s truly right for you and your family? You’re not alone.

This episode is all about breaking free from the ‘permission slip’ we think we need—whether it’s to pause for self-care, shift gears, or dive into homeschooling. It’s time to talk about why we stall, waiting for approval that, deep down, we know we don’t need.

Why do we do this to ourselves? Guilt, doubt, fear of judgment—these shadows loom over us, making decisions feel heavier than they should.

We’re diving deep into self-trust (or the lack thereof), the fear of falling behind, and the worry about what others will think. It’s these feelings that often send us seeking validation from anyone but ourselves.

Tune in for a real talk on granting ourselves the permission to live on our terms. Discover strategies to manage the inner critic, celebrate our autonomy in homeschooling, and more.

You’ll learn to embrace planning with flexibility and how to build your own circle of trust for those moments when you crave a bit of backup in your choices.

Though we zero in on homeschooling, this episode is a must-listen if you’ve been waiting for someone else to say “It’s okay” about any aspect of your life.

Listen, breathe easier, and share the journey with a friend. It’s time to claim the power of your choices.

HI friend,

I'm tackling a question that's been on the minds of many in our community: how do we create and deepen friendships as busy homeschooling moms? This topic, sparked by a question from one of our community members, is something I'm really excited to talk about.

Tune in to learn

• why finding joy in your own company can actually attract more meaningful friendships,
• why the quest for the perfect 'mom friend' might not be the answer, and
• how embracing the natural ebb and flow of friendships can be incredibly rewarding.

This episode is all about discovering deeper connections without the usual pressures, finding friends who truly understand you by following your own interests, and making room for these relationships in the whirlwind of homeschooling.

Get ready for down-to-earth advice and actionable tips on building your social network, all inspired by a conversation that started right here, in our homeschool circle.

As always, if this podcast encourages you in any way, please share it with another mom or leave a review.

Enjoy!

Here cheering you on every step of the way with a prayer in my heart and a smile on my face!

Your Homeschool Lifestyle Coach,

Inga
