Description

What do you do when the people closest to you don’t support your decision to homeschool?


In this episode, I’m tackling this tough part of homeschooling. I’ll walk you through some of the most common objections you might hear and share practical ways to respond with confidence and peace.


*This conversation isn’t about debating or convincing anyone. It’s about staying grounded in your “why,” protecting your peace, and remembering that you don’t owe anyone an explanation for doing what’s best for your family.


🎧 Here’s what you’ll learn:



  • How to respond when loved ones question your homeschool choice

  • Why homeschoolers often thrive academically and socially

  • How to stay confident when others don’t understand your “why”

  • Ways to protect your peace and avoid getting pulled into debate
