For many moms, the idea of homeschooling sounds nice, but it can feel too far out of reach. Sometimes, you just need to hear from someone who’s a little further along to know that you can do it, too.

I sat down with fellow homeschool mom Amber O’Neal Johnston on the latest episode of The Sister Circle Podcast. Amber has pushed past a lack of representation in the available homeschool curriculum and intentionally cultivated a village for her family. 

No matter where your children learn, you can achieve the goal of fostering a sense of belonging and a love of learning in your home.

Highlights from Today’s Episode
