Episode 14

How can you tap into your superpower as a homeschooling parent? Here’s how: Rhythm + Inner Work = Your Superpower!

In this episode of the Art of Homeschooling podcast, I share with you some thoughts about why the combination of daily rhythm and inner work is so powerful.

Early on in my homeschooling journey, an instructor encouraged me to create a strong daily rhythm for my homeschooling and to build an inner work practice. So that I could strengthen my will and become a more capable teacher for my children. Whoa! This was not easy!

But when I began to follow this advice, I found that I was more inspired to get started and better able to show up.

I was able to take action to do what I had planned and I was more capable of following through and sustaining homeschool over the long-term.

And this is why I say your superpower is Rhythm + Inner Work.

We want to strengthen our will and tap into our superpower so that taking action becomes easier, so homeschooling flows more smoothly. How? Rhythm plus Inner Work!

It’s All About Rhythm & Inner Work

So, let’s discuss how you can tap into this magic! 

In this episode, you’ll hear what my simple definitions of rhythm and inner work are. I’ll share with you the benefits of strengthening your sense of rhythm and building an inner work practice. And give you three easy tips to start developing your own superpower.

Keep this mantra in mind: Start small until it works, and then add from there.

Find Your Superpower: 3 Simple Tips

1. Recognize that there’s so much more to homeschooling than the curriculum and the supplies.
2. Begin working on strengthening your will through consistently following your daily rhythm and taking a few minutes each day to practice inner work. 
3. Enjoy the journey! Develop your superpower and enjoy changing and learning through the years of homeschooling just as your children do!

It’s a powerful combination, my friend! Rhythm + Inner Work = Your New Superpower!
