Episode 225
Freedom thrives within structure and simplicity, not rigidity. This is a powerful truth that I’ve learned on my journey to embrace the freedom of homeschooling.
In this episode of the Art of Homeschooling podcast, you’ll hear my thoughts about the precious opportunity that homeschoolers have to truly see and respond to the children before us, customizing learning experiences without the constraints of external requirements that stifle creativity and individualized approaches.
After years of teaching in public schools, private institutions, and even working to establish a few Waldorf schools, I’ve discovered that homeschooling is truly a place of educational freedom.
Learn how to embrace this freedom and simplify your homeschooling so you can teach and lead with intention and love.

Embracing homeschooling freedom means letting go of following someone else’s plan, but it also doesn’t mean chaos. It’s all about having a clear, flexible structure that holds space for your educational journey.
