Episode 246
What if it’s more important to just show up in your homeschool rather than have perfect lesson plans? This episode of the Art of Homeschooling Podcast is all about showing up rather than seeking perfection. And how just being present will build rhythm over time.
Let’s talk about those homeschool days when you wake up without a plan ~ and maybe without much energy either.
On these days, your inclination might be to ditch homeschooling altogether. But in this episode, I share how you can still show up for your kiddos.
Homeschooling happens whether we have everything figured out or not, because our children are learning all the time.
This is an invitation to release the pressure and return to what truly matters in homeschooling!
Here are simple, no-prep ways to begin your day when you don’t know where to start, along with a mindset shift that helps you trust the natural rhythm of learning ~ even on messy days.
A simpler week often results in more learning than a perfect plan.
Just Show Up
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why showing up is often more important than having a plan
- How learning is happening even on unstructured homeschool days
- Simple ways to start your day when you feel stuck or behind
- How to find one gentle “thread” from yesterday to carry into today
- Encouragement for trusting consistency over perfection
If you’re navigating a season of uncertainty or overwhelm, I hope this episode reminds you that your presence matters ~ and that just showing up is enough for today.
