If you’ve ever wondered what it might really look like to homeschool through the tween years (while balancing your own identity, your child’s independence, and maybe even your own personal challenges) this conversation will speak right to your heart.

In this episode, I sit down with Bethanyanne Howard, a Charlotte Mason-inspired homeschooling mom whose story is deeply rooted in grace, grit, and the belief that our daughters deserve to be treated as whole, capable people.

From fostering autonomy to embracing imperfection, Bethanyanne shares what it means to be mom first, teacher second, and how her own physical challenges have actually become a powerful model of perseverance and resilience for her daughter.

THE POWER IN TODAY'S EPISODE:

You’ll discover how being flexible, asking quality questions, and trusting your daughter’s innate curiosity can strengthen your bond during these transforming tween years and how homeschooling can be less about structure and more about shared growth, connection, and mutual respect.

Key Topics:

• What it really looks like to homeschool through the tween years

• Fostering autonomy and independence in your daughter

• The Charlotte Mason philosophy and respecting the child as a whole person

• Parenting through physical challenges and modeling perseverance

• How to be “mom first, teacher second”

Whether you homeschool or not, this episode will leave you rethinking what it means to raise an independent, empowered girl who feels seen, supported, and capable.
