About the Episode On the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms, I speak to Lila J. Wohlwend. Lila is a best-selling author, investor, business owner, and homeschooling mom.   She and her husband integrated family, business, and investing.  Their kids started investing and buying real estate at age 7 without using any of their parent’s money or credit.   Lila now helps other families recognize their own kids’ ability to do more than they imagined, so they can also achieve amazing results at any age.  Family Success Triangle is the book she and her husband wrote to teach other parents the lessons they used to raise limitless kids.   I really enjoyed talking to Lila because it reaffirmed my feeling that homeschooling gives kids the space to follow their dreams. If your kid is interested in entrepreneurship, it's a must listen!  You can find Lila and her family here: www.ClearSkyTrainer.com Support for Working Homeschool Moms I have a lot of support to offer you as a working homeschool mom.

About the Episode On today's episode of the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms, I talk to homeschool veteran of 30+ years, Michele Holmes. Michele helps homeschooling parents take on the high school years with confidence!  The training and tools she provides through her company Homeschool Directive are the result of years of experience both homeschooling each of her 8 children through high school and coaching hundreds of parents of teens through the homeschool co-op she created and ran for over 20 years.  Michele and her husband Ed live in Northern Illinois but love traveling to visit their 12 grandkids. I learnt so much from speaking to Michele! Homeschooling high school can be stressful, but she makes it seem much more manageable. I love that she advocates for not changing the way you homeschool high school, but rather adapting it to achieve your child's graduation goals.   If you're getting close to homeschooling a teen, or if you're already in the middle/high school years, I highly recommend connecting with Michele. You can find her here: www.homeschooldirective.com www.facebook.com/homeschooldirective www.instagram.com/homeschooldirective www.linkedin.com/in/micheleholmeshd Support for Working Homeschool Moms Being a working homeschool can be a lot.

About the Episode On today's episode of the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms, I talk about homeschool mom anxiety. It's something that we've all faced at one time or another. So I wanted to give some ideas for overcoming it in a positive way. I know that anxiety can be caused by the outside, but also the inside.

And let's not forget the stress that comes from keeping up with house work! Aaaarrrggghhh! In this episode, I give you practical ways to alleviate the stress and anxiety. But also some ideas for getting into the right mindset. Because I'm a huge believer in the power of a growth mindset!

About the Episode On today's episode of the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms, I have the pleasure of talking to Melissa Brander. Melissa is the creator of Pocket Homeschool. She has a deep passion for lifelong learning and desires to help homeschooling families to find their way. She’s based in the Midwest where she homeschools her two boys. Today we spoke about how to feed your family as a working homeschool mom. There's so much effort that goes into it, so Melissa gives some practical tips and strategies for making it easier. And she also speaks about inviting our kids into the kitchen, which we can easily do as homeschoolers. Love this! Be sure to check out Melissa's website, and follow her on Instagram and Facebook. She also has a free newsletter she sends out on Fridays and her SMART Homeschool Society is great if you need some homeschool support.  Support for Working Homeschool Moms Working homeschool mom, I'm here for you!

About the Episode On today's episode of the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms, I'm talking about balancing homeschool and work. It's not easy! But it's definitely possible!  I think that having the right mindset is key to striking some sort of balance. You have to be accepting, lower your expectations and deschool yourself. Good time management is also going to be a big help.  In the episode I mention practising a growth mindset as well. I have a growth mindset blog post and also a growth mindset podcast episode, if you want to learn more.  Support for Working Homeschool Moms As a working homeschool mom, I know how hard and lonely the journey can be. So I've created a lot of resources and services that I wish I had had when I started out.  You can find everything I have to support working homeschool moms here. And be sure to check out my time management course too!  Sponsor for the Episode Are you looking for a new Math Curriculum? I’m thrilled to introduce our favourite math curriculum to you.
