The podcast is presented by Charlotte Jones, homeschool coach and homeschooling mom of twin boys.

Homeschooling doesn't have to fit a mold! In this episode, I'm spilling the tea on 10 (possibly controversial) things I don't do in my homeschool—and why ditching these “rules” has brought more joy, freedom, and success to our learning journey. From not limiting screen time to skipping grade levels and avoiding strict schedules, I'm sharing how I prioritize flexibility, interest-led learning, and real-life experiences. Whether you're a new homeschooler or looking for ways to simplify your approach, this episode is packed with practical insights and encouragement for creating a homeschool that works for your unique family. So grab your coffee, hit play, and let's embrace the chaos together!
About the Episode Today I'm doing another AMA episode on The Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms. Taylor, who's in her first year of being a working homeschool mom, is worried about balancing work and quality time with her child. Christi is new to working and homeschooling and feels like it's going to be too much to manage it all. Katherine, who's been a WHM for two years, feels like other moms manage their schedules really well. Be sure to reach out if you have questions you'd like me to answer.

About the Podcast On the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms this week, I have the great pleasure of welcoming Karen Stone, BA, Special Ed, MA, Learning Disabilities, onto the podcast. Karen has worked in the education field for more than 45 years. Karen's education background and her own experiences of being bullied from childhood to early adulthood, at home and school led her to authoring an anti-bullying blog, www.howwestopbullying.com. Karen's work is also influenced by her experiences raising a son with significant disabilities. Karen's professional experiences as an educator showed her that for children to be successful, whether they had disabilities or not, they needed to value themselves, each other and their abilities. As CEO of SoftStone Products, Inc., Karen has written and piloted research-based children's Emotional Intelligence (EQ) programs implemented with students from Preschool to High School. Karen's new book, Is Your Child's World Emotionally Safe?, reveals her personal story but also makes a compelling case for the inclusion of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in every home and classroom. It was wonderful chatting to Karen and hearing about the importance of teaching our little ones EQ from a young age. She shares some really interesting ways to include this in your homeschool, even as a busy working homeschool mom.

About the Episode As a working mom newly starting with homeschooling back in 2017, I desperately wanted guidance, step-by-step instructions and an operating manual.

So in the episode today, I'm going to tell you what I found out and what works for us. And I bet you're going to be pretty surprised by what I have to share!

About the Episode Money is such a huge part of helping you live life on your own terms, working homeschool mom. That's why today's episode of The Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms is so important! I chat to Allegra Moet Brantly, who is on a mission to lead 1 million women to $1 million in net worth. After starting her career in beauty and fashion in New York, she learned firsthand just how much money women leave on the table when they don't speak up for their worth in the workplace. This led her to becoming a salary negotiation coach to help close the gender pay gap, and ultimately founding Factora in 2018, to help close the even more detrimental— gender investment gap—that can cost women to lose out on a million dollars over their lifetime. Factora educates and empowers women to build wealth and achieve early financial freedom. A serial entrepreneur, real estate investor, and host of the podcast where women talk wealth, Coffee & Coin, Allegra lives in East Austin with her devoted husband, sweet baby girl, and horse-sized dog.

About the Episode On the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms this week, I tackle homeschooling math. It can be an overwhelming subject, so I'm incredibly honoured to chat to a math expert Pat Murray, the creator of our favourite math curriculum, CTCMath. Pat's life is an inspiring tapestry of family values, entrepreneurial success, and educational innovation. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Pat's journey began in the late 1980s as a high-school math teacher. His passion for education and unique perspective on learning led him to create award-winning math teaching programs that would eventually shape the face of online education in mathematics. Pat's approach to education is imbued with a deep sense of empathy and understanding of individual learning needs. He has transformed the abstract world of mathematics into an engaging and comprehensible subject for students of all ages. In a world where education is becoming increasingly digitized, Pat Murray's innovative thinking has left an indelible mark on how mathematics is taught and learned. His journey from a humble math teacher to a globally recognized educational entrepreneur is not merely a tale of success but an embodiment of the belief that with passion, creativity, and dedication, one can truly make a difference in the lives of others.

About the Episode Homeschool consistency is something that many new working homeschool moms want. And I totally agree! It's something that I need in my homeschool – especially because I'm homeschooling neurodivergent children. My children crave routine but are also resistant at the best of times. Consistency has been necessary but hard won for me. I have to say that my idea of what being consistent means has changed a lot since I started out in 2017 and this shift has helped me to get to the point we are now. It might feel to you that staying consistent seems really hard. If you're just starting out and you're comparing it to public school consistency, it might seem impossible Or you might be feeling that you're not quite managing it in your first three years of being a working homeschool mom. On the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms this week, I want to share 4 tips that can help you ensure homeschool consistency.

About the Episode On the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms this week, I chat to two of the most delightful people all about worldschooling. Ninon and Thomas, both passionate writers, are the parents of three bilingual children whom they have been unschooling from day one. Last August, they embarked on a worldschooling adventure, exploring the globe while embracing a love for literacy and education. As avid travelers, Ninon and Thomas cherish the opportunity to immerse themselves and their children in different cultures and origins. They believe that worldschooling offers a unique way to broaden horizons, foster empathy, and cultivate a deep appreciation for diversity. Driven by their love for writing and their belief in the transformative power of education, Ninon and Thomas co-founded The Ways 2 Teach. This digital platform offers a wide range of downloadable and printable learning activities designed to ignite curiosity, encourage critical thinking, and nurture creativity. This episode will answer all your questions about worldschooling. And I'm positive you're going to be as inspired as I am.

About the Episode On the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms this week, I chat to Lauran Kerr-Heraly. Lauran is an award-winning educator and author who has dedicated her career to empowering students and their parents to transform their lives through education.

About the Episode Feeling like you're falling behind in homeschool is no fun. As humans, we're programmed to move forward, to compete and to feel like we must be ahead of the game. I also think the reason why it feels so crummy is because homeschooling comes with so many expectations - from ourselves and from others. We've taken on this huge responsibility so we better start doing it perfectly right away. Or else we're failures. If you know me, then you know that I'm not someone who's going to tell you to work harder and push more to get 'back on track'. Yes, those posts and episodes are out there! I read them and felt sad about the message they're spreading. Let's rather investigate where these feelings come from and reframe them. I think you're going to have a better chance of moving forward from that point. And it will be also much better for your homeschooling as a whole.

About the Episode On the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms this week, I have the pleasure to chat to Evgenia Arasim from At Nourished Motherhood. Evgenia is homeschooling mom of an active boy and a working mama, who built her business around her love of holistic living and homeschooling. Evgenia helps homeschool mamas in overcoming burn-out with movement, food and mindset shifts. Evgenia offers one on one coaching as well as group coaching and her Nourished Motherhood Program has helped many homeschool mamas to stop procrastination and self sabotage when it comes to health and fitness and finally find that missing time to exercise, move the body mindfully and nourish it through real food. I really enjoyed talking to Evgenia about all things self care and forming health habits. She has some really simple strategies for including more time for ourselves as busy working homeschool moms. She also generously shares her own story and how it has shaped who she is and what she believes in.
