Discover How A Homeschool Life Coach for BC Homeschool Moms Can Transform Your Journey
Homeschooling in beautiful British Columbia has been a remarkable adventure, and as a Homeschool Life Coach for BC homeschool moms, I understand the unique experiences this journey offers.
We began our home education journey in Kamloops—during that time, we traveled all over the province, routinely to Vancouver for the Science Centre and Aquarium. We were enamoured by the Royal BC Museum in Victoria and travelled all the way north to Liard Hotsprings, the prettiest hotsprings in our province.
It was during these early years of exploration and discovery that I began to redefine what homeschooling meant for our family. My most significant clarifying moments happened in the Fort St. John public library, where a John Holt book fell into my lap and shifted my perspective entirely. I vividly remember sitting with my oldest daughter in the Safeway Starbucks to share that we would be transitioning to unschooling after year three. However, just six months later, we adapted again, embracing eclectic homeschooling to suit the needs of our younger children who thrived on more structure.
Our homeschooling journey continued to unfold on the road, logging thousands of kilometers in our minivan.
From traveling up to Inuvik to cruising down the Alaska Marine Highway System to Prince Rupert, our learning adventures took us to incredible places. We homeschooled on the beaches of Hornby Island and Ucluelet, explored the mountains driving to Bella Coola, savored the wineries of Osoyoos and Oliver, and wandered through the Kootenays—discovering Fernie, Creston, and Greenwood, home to the best lemon bars in the province.
Eventually, our travels brought us to a place we could truly call home: a three-acre homestead above the Kootenay River near Nelson. There, we raised goats, chickens, and a Great Pyrenees named Violet. We immersed ourselves in the rhythms of homesteading life while enjoying the magic of living in what I consider the best little town in the world. (Though I might be biased.)
Each of these moments shaped not only our homeschool experience but also my passion for helping other BC homeschool moms find clarity, confidence, and connection in their unique journeys.

10 Conversations I Have as a Homeschool Life Coach for BC Homeschool Moms
Did you know that there is a graduated homeschool mom turned Certified Life Coach that lives in your backyard? Many homeschool moms haven’t been introduced to me in my British Columbian backyard because I began my online work late 2019 and it expanded quickly in 2020 for women around the world.
Although home-educating women embrace this lifestyle for a variety of reasons, live in diverse circumstances, share their lives with different people, and hold unique perspectives on the world, certain themes and conversations consistently arise in my discussions with women worldwide. Curious to know what they are?
I primarily work with women in United States and Canada, but have worked with women from many corners of our world. It’s been exciting. I absolutely love my work.
And though I have coached a dozen women in our fair province, it’s time that I share with you that I’m over here, tucked cozily on my Kootenay homestead, cheerleading home educating women from around the world. And I’m available to cheerlead the women of my province too. That would be you!
I’m passionate about helping women navigate their home educating lives with confidence, clarity, and connection.
Here are 10 routine conversations I have with homeschool moms about their challenges and how life coaching can help you transform your homeschool journey.
1. “I’m so overwhelmed, I feel like I’m losing my patience more than I’d like.”
It’s easy to lose your cool when you’re managing everything from teaching to cleaning, cooking, and staying on top of family schedules. It’s normal to feel frustrated at times, but when these moments become frequent, it can feel like you’re spiraling.
How Coaching Helps:
A homeschool life coach can help you develop emotional regulation strategies, build more supportive routines, and establish boundaries to create more calm in your day-to-day homeschooling life.
2. “I just can’t seem to make time for myself. Self-care feels impossible.”
As a homeschool mom, it can feel like your needs always come last. Between lesson planning, housework, and meeting the needs of your children, it seems there’s never time to recharge.
How Coaching Helps:
We’ll work together to carve out time for you, even in a busy homeschooling routine. Whether it’s through small moments of mindfulness or larger chunks of dedicated “me time,” coaching will guide you in making self-care a priority.

3. “It feels like I’m constantly dealing with conflicts at home. My kids are pushing back, and my partner doesn’t understand.”
Strained relationships can make the homeschooling experience even more challenging. When you’re not on the same page with your partner or kids, everything feels more difficult.
How Coaching Helps:
I offer strategies to strengthen communication, reduce conflict, and help you set boundaries that foster respect and understanding in your family. We’ll also work on creating a calm, supportive homeschool environment.
4. “I’m not sure if I’m still passionate about homeschooling. Everything feels so repetitive.”
There are times when homeschooling feels like a grind. If the excitement and curiosity have waned, it’s easy to feel disconnected from the reason you chose to homeschool in the first place.
How Coaching Helps:
Together, we can reignite your enthusiasm for homeschooling by rediscovering what inspired you to start. We’ll explore child-inspired learning and find creative ways to make homeschooling engaging for both you and your kids.
5. “I constantly question if I’m doing the right thing for my kids.”
Self-doubt can creep in, especially when you’re faced with questions from others about your homeschooling choices. It’s hard not to compare yourself to other homeschool families.
How Coaching Helps:
I help homeschool moms trust themselves and their unique approach to homeschooling. With coaching, you’ll gain confidence in your decisions and learn how to handle external criticism with clarity and grace.
6. “I feel like there’s no time for anything outside of homeschooling and housework.”
Between the demands of homeschooling and running a household, it can feel like there’s no room for your personal passions or goals.
How Coaching Helps:
A coach helps you evaluate your priorities and create a routine that includes time for both your family and yourself. We’ll work on balancing homeschooling with personal goals, whether that’s pursuing a hobby, career, or simply enjoying more time with loved ones.
7. “I’m always running out of time. There’s just not enough of it to do everything.”
The feeling of being constantly behind on tasks is common among homeschool moms. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the never-ending to-do list.
How Coaching Helps:
With guidance on time management and structuring your day, I can help you streamline your homeschool routine, tackle tasks more efficiently, and create space for flexibility in your schedule.
8. “I feel like I should be doing more, but I can’t keep up with everyone else’s homeschool pace.”
Homeschooling shouldn’t be a race, yet it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind when you’re comparing yourself to other families. Unrealistic expectations can lead to feelings of inadequacy.
How Coaching Helps:
I help you redefine success on your own terms, letting go of comparison and focusing on what matters most to you and your family. Together, we’ll build a homeschool approach that aligns with your values and goals.
9. “I’m so isolated. I don’t have a support system and feel like I’m doing this alone.”
Many homeschool moms feel lonely in their journey, especially if they don’t have a local support network or fellow homeschool families nearby.
How Coaching Helps:
Coaching provides a personalized support system to guide you through tough moments. You’ll gain access to a broader community of homeschoolers, feel heard, and receive encouragement to keep going.
10. “I’m ready to make some changes but don’t know where to start.”
Sometimes, it’s not about a crisis but a desire for growth. You’re ready to reimagine your homeschool experience, but you’re unsure of how to make that shift.
How Coaching Helps:
In coaching, we’ll create an action plan to help you redesign your homeschool approach. Whether it’s adjusting your routines, redefining your educational goals, or finding new ways to engage with your children, I’ll help you take those first steps toward meaningful transformation.
What Is a Homeschool Life Coach?
A homeschool life coach is a guide who helps you navigate the complexities of homeschooling while staying true to your personal values and goals. Coaching combines personal development with homeschooling expertise, focusing not only on educational content but also on mindset, routines, relationships, and emotional resilience.
Coaching empowers you to create a homeschooling experience that’s aligned with your values and supports your family’s well-being. Whether you’re struggling with self-doubt, lack of direction, or feeling overwhelmed, a homeschool life coach can help you work through these challenges and find clarity.
How a Homeschool Life Coach Can Transform Your Journey
Coaching is a powerful way to make lasting changes in your homeschooling journey. Here’s how:
- Clarity: Coaching helps you define your homeschooling vision and values, so you know exactly what you’re working toward.
- Confidence: Overcome self-doubt and learn to trust your instincts as a homeschool mom, aligning your choices with what feels right for your family.
- Connection: Strengthen relationships with your kids and partner by learning effective communication strategies and setting healthy boundaries.
- Balance: Create routines that serve your family without burning out, ensuring that homeschooling is fulfilling and sustainable.
I knew I had boundary issues, but I wasn’t clear on when, why, or how they began. Teresa really held space for me to explore that. She listens deeply and asks the most poignant, reflective questions. Teresa is a truly gifted space holder—quite unique, in a way I’ve only experienced with a handful of people in my life. Unearthing these insights has been integral, especially when I find myself in the midst of a boundary crisis or a situation with the potential to cross my boundaries in a very unhealthy way. Her guidance anchors me and supports me in responding thoughtfully rather than reacting unconsciously.

Why Choose a Local Homeschool Life Coach?
As a British Columbian homeschool mom, you face unique challenges that may not be experienced by homeschoolers elsewhere. I have a deep understanding of the local homeschooling landscape, from understanding BC’s regulations to navigating the seasonal variations that can impact your routine.
I’ve helped many moms in BC handle these specific circumstances. For example, I’ve supported families in remote areas with limited local resources, guiding them on how to make the most of online learning tools and community networks.

Within the first minute of speaking with Teresa, I realized how much I could accomplish by simply taking a deep breath and voicing my desires as a mother.

The peace I felt during our time together created a lasting sense of calm and self-assurance that stayed with me long after the call. I highly recommend working with Teresa!
