About This Video: 7 Homeschool Common Conversations with a Life Coach
Are you a homeschool mom faced with the question, “Am I doing this right?” This is a common conversation I repeatedly have as a Certified Life Coach in the homeschool mom space.
Today, I’m sharing seven common, but potentially transformative, conversations I’ve had with homeschool moms that aim to shift perspectives and offer support on your homeschool journey.
What You’ll Discover in the 7 Homeschool Conversations
1. Is What I’m Doing Good Enough?
One of the most common struggles among homeschool moms is questioning whether they’re doing a good job. We might compare ourselves to traditional schooling with concerns about certifications and standards. Through coaching, we explore where these fears come from and how you can be your child’s greatest advocate, recognizing the importance of authenticity and embracing what’s already working well for you and your children.
2. My Kid isn’t Motivated. And I’m Not Motivated.
Keeping up motivation can be tough. Understanding what underlies the motivation challenge helps to overcome its nasty spell, whether for you or your kids. Sometimes, the challenge doesn’t lie with unmotivated kids but with us as parents. Together, we’ll work toward reigniting your passion for homeschooling.
3. There is No Peace at Home.
Setting boundaries with your partner, kids, and even extended family is essential for a satisfying homeschool mom life. In our conversations, we discuss practical strategies to reinforce your internal boundaries, leading to more supportive, engaged, and healthy relationships within your family and in your community.
4. I Want to Feel More Aligned in My Life.
Balancing your needs with those of your family is a challenge every homeschool mom faces. During our sessions, we touch on personal growth tools like the Enneagram (and so much more) to help you better understand what really matters to you. Aligning who you are with how you relate to others leads to stronger connections and authentic living.
5. I Don’t Get Time Alone.
Homeschooling does not have to mean losing yourself. But it often does. Sacrificing all personal time can fast-track you to burnout. Scheduling regular breaks—with or without your family—is key to a sustainable homeschooling experience. For insights on self-care, explore my book, “Homeschool Mama Self-Care: Nurturing The Nurturer” for practical steps to regain balance.
6. It’s Not my Kids’ Socialization I’m Worried About, It’s Mine.
Socialization is often a hot topic in homeschooling circles. But creating community isn’t just about your child—it’s about you too. Waiting for connections to form isn’t enough; taking proactive steps to engage with others is vital. Whether through local meet-ups or virtual groups like the Confident Homeschool Mom Collective, where the authentic support and encouragement of a community can be a lifeline on your homeschool mom journey.
7. I Forget Who I Am Beyond Mom.
Lastly, but possibly most importantly, homeschool moms forget who they are. Amidst planning curricular activities and family priorities, it’s easy to lose sight of who you are beyond the homeschool role. Developing and creative pursuits can help deepen your understanding of yourself and bring fresh energy to your life. The “You Be You Checklist” is a resource to help you begin this exploration.
