Since 2020, host Teresa Wiedrick—a graduated homeschool mom and Certified Life Coach—has been helping homeschool moms shed what’s not working and show up in their homeschools and lives authentically, purposefully, and confidently in the newly renamed Confident Homeschool Mom podcast.
Over seven seasons, this podcast has explored the real challenges of homeschool mama life: the not-good-enough feeling, perfectionism, loneliness, anger, doubt, boredom, impatience, overwhelm, and all the feelings of the human experience. You know, all the human feels in a homeschool mama experience.
Currently in Season 8, the podcast focuses on the 1% pivot—moving from pressure to presence through small, intentional shifts. Rather than pushing through, Teresa guides you through monthly themes that help you build confidence, manage stress, set realistic expectations, and meet your needs without perfection.
This podcast will help you:
➤ Transform frustration, confusion, and overwhelm into clarity, confidence, and purpose
➤ Build healthy boundaries in relationships
➤ Learn to speak to yourself differently
➤ Identify and respond to your needs
➤ Understand your intentions behind your homeschool choices
➤ Find joy in your personal growth and your kids’ uniqueness
Podcast Episodes
Through authentic conversations, guest interviews, and practical strategies, Teresa addresses wellness aspects that serve the homeschool mama in her real homeschool days—because your needs are easily overlooked with a steady stream of childhood needs, interactions, and activities.
When you’re clear on who you are, watch out world! You have come to your purpose. Then you’ll show up in your homeschool (and life) authentically, purposefully, and confidently.

Kind Words about the Confident Homeschool Mom Podcast
Teresa is amazing, she has such a big heart and so much to offer homeschooling moms. The biggest things we can offer ourselves are having healthy boundaries and self-compassion and Teresa shines at both. So grateful for her body of work and this podcast!
I really enjoy listening to this podcast because it makes me feel not so alone in my deep thinking about raising kids, maybe not the way “everyone else” is. You’ll like this podcast if you want to raise independent thinkers, but also remember that you as a parent are still growing too.
Anne Kathryn
Teresa hits the nail on the head! She takes scientific and experiential truths and shows the WHY and HOW homeschool moms can see growth in ourselves. Self-work is a must have for homeschool moms if we are to thrive in this marathon. Teresa brings that to the forefront in such an approachable way.”
Whitney at Sensational Moms
If you want someone to speak to you truthfully, authentically and real about how it is to be a homeschool parent, Teresa is your girl. On this podcast you feel understood and heard that homeschooling can be tough sometimes, and Teresa is not sugarcoating it is easy to turn you challenges in to you charms which is one of the reasons I love Teresa and this podcast so much.
Teresa is really good at giving you advice as to how you can work on making improvements in your homeschool/family life. She is also excellent in talking about how you can work on yourself and take care of yourself, which actually is very important when you want a smoother home life.
Teresa, thank you for a super podcast and all the coaching work you do. ❤️
Parenting is challenging. Parenting and homeschooling? Arguably much more challenging! But in this podcast, Teresa provides actionable strategies to help you develop an intentional, purposeful, streamlined, and flexible homeschool. Teresa’s heart for supporting homeschool moms holistically – with mindset, routines, and strategic self-care, is incredibly important. Thank you Teresa for the work that you do! Sincerely, Emily

More Kind Words…
Teresa is so relatable and has so much to share. Listening to her podcast is like listening to a close friend who happens to have 15 years of experience in homeschooling. I put her podcasts on when I could use support and a laugh. I’ve really enjoyed her guests this season and have put into action a lot of suggestions and practices discussed.
I LOVED your interview with Amber O’Neal Johnston. It was a beautiful, authentic conversation and I’m so glad you went “there” bc it’s so needed and it’s really not scary and divisive and threatening like some people believe! And you know I love hearing people talk about the power of personal stories!♥️ awesome podcast episode
If you’re overwhelmed as a homeschool mom, Teresa offers empathy and encouragement. Her comforting words and soothing tone will set your heart at ease and give you hope for the future.
Teresa is engaging, honest, and to the point. She comes across as genuinely wanting to connect with her listeners. I look forward to hearing the next episode!
Tatiana, Homeschool Mama
The first rule of life saving is…never become a victim yourself. As parents, we’re only as helpful to our kids as we are healthy. Teresa does an amazing job of keeping this front and center and helping parents care for themselves!!
Homeschool Dad
Teresa is a pleasure to listen to and learn from as a new homeschooler. Her interviews go in interesting directions and always get me thinking. A must listen for anyone wanting to build their confidence as an authentic and simple homeschooling mom!
Merissa, Homeschool Mama of Three Kiddos
Teresa has the calm assurance of one who’s walking her talk, and eager to share and encourage. I homeschooled for many years and would have LOVED having her in my “posse” for some of them! She doesn’t have or claim to have all the answers, but she will sure help you find what works for YOUR family! A must-listen for homeschool momma’s who need support and inspiration!
I’m new to homeschooling, but not new to parenting and boy oh boy, could I have used daily doses of Teresa years ago. I love the focus of self care for mamas, because in caring for ourselves we receive love (through caring for ourselves, asking for help, saying no, setting boundaries—you’ll have to listen to Teresa and read her book to get the full list) and in return, we can give more love to those around us. Happy mom happy family! Thank you Teresa for putting out some terrific content. You are a blessing to your listening mamas and their families.
“Your podcast is excellent. I started with the first episode and am just listening to each one in order that’s interesting to me. The one with Julie Bogart was terrific, I bought a sketchbook and pencils and a “how to draw” book just like her.”
Carla, Homeschool Mama of One Kiddo
Teresa is so great at calming my nerves and keeping the homeschool atmosphere simple. I love how she brings it back to us mamas needing to refuel and recharge so we have more to give our kids throughout the day! This is a great listen!!
“This is such a valuable and important topic for all moms especially those who are homeschooling. Thank you for the variety of guests you have on and for caring so much about others moms.”
