What happens when vaccine mandates, school regulations, and a mama's intuition collide? In this episode, I sit down with Tiffany, a homeschool mom of almost-seven-year-old twin boys in West Virginia and an occupational therapist who now serves the homeschool community.Tiffany shares how COVID, vaccine requirements, and a strong Christian conviction opened the door to homeschooling—not just for her twin boys, but for her stepkids too. We talk about co-ops, jujitsu, piano lessons, state requirements, and why “freedom” is the first word that comes to mind when she thinks of home education.As an OT, Tiffany also dives into reflex integration—how primitive reflexes can affect things like handwriting, reading, attention, picky eating, emotional regulation, and why some kids “can't sit still” no matter how hard they try. If you've ever wondered, “Is this just a phase, or does my child actually need help?” this conversation is for you.In this episode, we cover:Homeschooling energetic twin boys with totally different strengthsNavigating co-ops, church life, and daily rhythms in West VirginiaHow vaccine mandates and religious convictions pushed some families toward homeschoolingThe difference between classical education and programs like Classical ConversationsWest Virginia vs. New York homeschool requirements (portfolio reviews, testing, paperwork)What pediatric occupational therapy actually is for homeschoolersReflex integration 101 and how unintegrated reflexes can show up asPoor handwritingTrouble sitting stillVisual scanning issues when readingPicky eating, chewing on clothes/pencilsBig emotions and meltdownsWhy it's okay to ask for help and build your “village” as a homeschool parentConnect with Tiffany:Www.agapelove.comFacebook: The Homeschool OT, Tiffany ParsonsOther therapy resources: Www.HomeschoolOT.com Facebook: The Homeschool OT, Sarah CollinsHarkla (parent trainings): https://harkla.co/?rfsn=8716597.365cfaeLearn more about Green Ember: Helmer in the Dragon Tomb—the new prequel book from S.

Life doesn't sit still, and neither does homemaking. In this conversation with Convivial Circle member Meghan Jackson, we look at what it really takes to stay steady when the year throws every kind of setback your way—kitchen remodels, family illness, extra workload, disrupted routines, and the emotional toll that comes with all of it.Meghan shares how she kept showing up, even when her plans fell apart. Her story is a picture of what community coaching is actually for: not perfection, but resilience. Not sticking the landing every time, but learning to return to the work with strength, clarity, and a cheerful, trusting heart.We talk about weekly reviews, alignment cards, habit statements, delegation, home education, staying grounded in Scripture, and letting the Lord define the next right step—even when the next step is simply praying for strength.If you want support for a year that won't go according to plan (because they never do), community coaching gives you structure, accountability, and a Christ-centered approach to homemaking.convivialcircle.com

If you've been longing for your Christian homeschool and home to feel more Christ-centered—but real life feels loud, messy, and overwhelming—you are not alone. In this listener-favorite episode, I'm sharing gentle, practical ways we can disciple our kids right in the middle of dishes, laundry, and homeschool lessons, without adding a bunch of extra pressure to your already full plate.In this encore, I talk about:Why constant noise, mess, and mental overload make it so hard to feel God's peace (and why that doesn't mean you're failing)A simple prayer + reset phrase you can use in the moment when you feel like you might breakOne tiny, grace-filled shift to move from striving and self-blame into resting in God's care—right in the middle of real lifeMy heart in this episode is to remind you that you don't have to become a different person or run a “Pinterest-perfect” homeschool for God to work powerfully in your family. Tiny faith-filled choices, done consistently over time, really do shape the atmosphere of your home and the hearts of your kids.So if your homeschool days feel chaotic, your motherhood feels heavy, or you're just craving more of Jesus in the middle of it all, I pray this conversation gives you practical ideas and a big exhale of grace.

Isaiah 7:13-14 and 9:6-7  Welcome to our very first Christmas episode of 2025! Whether you're a long-time listener or brand-new, we're so glad you're here. Today we begin Advent, a special four-week season where Christians prepare their hearts to celebrate Jesus' birth and look forward to His promised return. We'll explore what “Advent” means, why it's important, and how this season invites us to slow down, reflect, and wait with hope. We'll also hear an incredible true story from 1947—when a young shepherd boy discovered the Dead Sea Scrolls, some of the oldest copies of the Bible ever found. Among them was the Book of Isaiah, matching what we read today almost word for word. This amazing discovery reminds us that God's Word has been faithfully preserved for thousands of years and that we can trust His promises. Through Isaiah's ancient prophecies, we'll see how God foretold the coming of Jesus long before He was born—and how Advent helps us celebrate that promise fulfilled. Perfect For: Kids ages 4–12 Family listening Advent devotions Homeschool or classroom Bible time Sunday school preparation

What if your habits didn't require a major overhaul or a perfect routine to make a difference? (https://simplyconvivial.com/coaching) What if you could learn to love your daily chore routines? In today's episode, I'm talking with Convivial Circle member Cara Frayer, who walked through our Humble Habits course during a season of chaos, transition, and RV-living prep — and still built habits that stuck.We dig into:   The power of tiny triggers   Why smiling on purpose changes your whole household   How movement habits snowball naturally   What it looks like to grow while life feels upside-down   Why “listening counts” when your capacity is lowThis conversation gives you a clear picture of how habit-building works in real life — with toddlers, stress, and constant interruptions. You don't need a perfect system. You need a cue, a small step, and a reason that matters.If you're ready to build habits that actually stick and reshape your home's atmosphere with joy, you'll love this one.

Are you feeling the pressure to make your homeschool look “perfect”? In this episode, we dive into the all-too-common trap of unrealistic expectations in homeschooling — the pressure parents put on themselves and the expectations driven by social media, comparison, and “ideal” homeschool images. You'll hear honest, practical insights that confront unrealistic standards, plus encouragement for how to reset your vision, reduce stress, and re-discover the joy and purpose of home education. If you've ever felt discouraged or overwhelmed, this episode is a gentle reminder that homeschooling isn't about perfection — it's about grace, growth, and family. Let's reframe success together and reclaim peace in your homeschool. If your homeschool has ever felt heavy, discouraging, or “not good enough,” you're not alone. In this encouraging episode from the Teach Them Diligently Vault, we're tackling the unrealistic expectations that often creep into our homeschool days and steal our joy. We explore: The subtle sources of unrealistic expectations (including comparison, social media, and perfectionism) Why the “ideal homeschool” image is often misleading and harmful How to recognize when pressure — not purpose — is driving your decisions Practical ways to reset expectations and create a grace-filled learning environment Encouragement for parents who feel overwhelmed or behind Whether you're a brand-new homeschool parent or a seasoned veteran, this episode will help you release unnecessary pressure, rediscover your confidence, and refocus on what truly matters in your homeschool. Listen in and be reminded: Your family doesn't need perfection — just a faithful, intentional, and joy-filled pursuit of learning together.

Join Me for the 12-Day Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge A homeschool mom self-care challenge that honours you. Homeschool mama, I see you. December is here, and it feels like an avalanche of ALL the things.Every month as a homeschool mom is full, but December? It's a whole new level. You're trying to finish things up, or you’re moving into a unit study on Christmas, you’re purchasing, prepping, planning, and playing—and you just added a part time-job to your full-time job. But as a homeschool mama, when December rolls around, mama ain’t looking after herself, she’s looking, after ALL the things. And though ALL the things are a whole lot of things EVERY other month, December’s ALL the things is an exponential set of things. Though you’re trying to do all the things, fulfill the expectations, and make it magical for your kids, you can’t do a little bit more if you didn’t already incorporate an approach to maintain margins and pursue purposeful living. That's why I'm inviting you to join me for the 12-Day Self-Care Challenge for Homeschool Moms. This isn't another TO DO list. It's a TO GIVE list—a way to give back to yourself. Join the 12 Day Self-Care Challenge Why Self-Care Matters As homeschool moms, we have a unique calling. We're deeply present with our kids, invested in their well-being, and working hard to create meaningful memories and learning experiences. We savor moments of: Watching our kids harmoniously play together (sometimes). Cheering them on as they tackle new challenges. Seeing their excitement as they pursue new interests. Building lifelong memories as a family. But there's another side to this season: The constant stream of emotions (theirs and ours). Sibling squabbles. Complaints and meltdowns. And, of course, the never-ending mundane tasks—laundry, dishes, meals, and errands. Even when we handle these challenges with grace, the emotional and mental investment is enormous. Add the holidays to the mix, and it's no wonder we feel stretched thin. The Secret Ingredient to a (more) Peaceful Holiday Season Here's the thing: you matter too. Your well-being is not just an afterthought—it's the foundation of a happy family life and a peaceful holiday season. Self-care: Refills your energy so you can approach the holidays with calm and joy. Models healthy balance and boundaries for your children. Helps you manage stress and let go of perfection. Strengthens your emotional resilience to handle challenges with patience and grace. Creates space for joy and presence, helping you savor the small, magical moments. When you care for yourself, you're giving your family the best gift of all—a peaceful, grounded, and joyful mama. What You'll Get in the 12-Day Challenge In just fifteen minutes a day—maybe even five—you'll explore simple, practical self-care strategies that fit into your busy December. These strategies aren't just for the holidays; they're tools to carry into the new year, helping you nurture yourself and your family with greater ease and satisfaction. By the end of these 12 days, you'll feel: More energized. More connected to yourself. And more at peace as you move through this beautiful, busy season. And so we must take care of ourselves. Join the 12 Days of Homeschool Mom Self-Care Challenge Join Me—You Deserve This So, homeschool mama, this is your invitation to take a breath, step back, and remember that you are worth nurturing. Let's do this together. This December, give yourself the gift of care, calm, and connection.

This week we're digging into what homeschooling actually looks like when you don't have a dedicated room, endless storage, or a perfectly curated setup. We're talking about making learning work in small spaces, busy schedules, and real life… because most of us are juggling school at the kitchen table, in the car, and everywhere in between. We break down how to create a functional, flexible homeschool that fits your home and your reality, not some Pinterest version of it.

Most moms don't enter the new year with clarity—we stumble into it, reacting to the chaos as it comes. We don't feel grounded or confident, we just feel behind.But next year doesn't have to be like that.You don't need a perfect plan. You need a clear one—built with reflection, prayer, realistic goals, and flexibility. A plan that prepares your heart and your home for the responsibilities God has already given you. Not a dream life—a faithful life.In this episode, I'm sharing:✔ Why planning alone leads to guilt and second-guessing✔ The difference between perfect planning and faithful planning✔ Why community planning makes your plan stronger and sustainable✔ How clarity gives you peace, margin, and direction before the year begins

In Part 2 of our two-part series with Juan Martinez — founder of JMS Soccer and president of DKSC — we move beyond the academy structure and dig into the deeper layers of development that parents rarely see. Juan opens up about the realities of North Texas soccer culture, the misconceptions around “connections,” and how he uses his network not as a selling point, but as a responsibility to serve disciplined players who put in the work.Juan explains what it really takes for an athlete to earn his recommendation, why truth and accountability matter more than hype, and how he keeps kids grounded while helping them chase college, national team, or professional opportunities. We also explore character development, moral skills, parental influence, pathways beyond club soccer, and why the dream must belong to the player — not the parent.If you're a soccer parent trying to understand the real pathway from ages 12–14 to college or pro, Part 2 delivers the unfiltered truth.

Ever set goals in January that felt motivating—only to realize by mid-February that they just didn't work in real life? You're not the problem. The goal-setting method is. Want your goals to actually work this year? Join Ready5: https://simplyconvivial.com/ready5Most goal-setting doesn't consider season, vocation, family life, interruptions, or the constant adjustments real life requires. But faithful planning isn't about building the ideal year—it's about stewarding the actual one.In this episode, I'll show you how to:✔ Set goals that flex with real mom-life (instead of cracking under pressure)✔ Use vocation—not ambition—to shape your goals✔ Trade unrealistic expectations for sustainable, faithful follow-through✔ Build growth habits that work even when routines changeYou don't need bigger goals. You need truer ones—rooted in your calling, capacity, and season.

In this week's episode, we're digging into what it really means to homeschool neurodivergent kids in a world where the traditional school system often isn't built with them in mind. We talk about masking, mismatched expectations, and why so many ND learners finally exhale when they're allowed to learn in ways that honor their wiring instead of fighting it. We're not here to bash public schools, but we are here to get real about what ND-affirming education can look like and why homeschooling can be a game changer for some families. If you've ever wondered whether your differently wired kid might thrive outside the system, this is the episode you've been waiting for.Let's continue the conversation on Patreon!

In the second half of Nathan's interview with Mike Smith, they walk through the intense 2018 legislative fight sparked by an abuse case mischaracterized as a homeschool issue. Massive mobilization by homeschool families—thousands making phone calls, as well as over 3,000 showing up at the Capitol and 1,300 testifying—ultimately stopped these bills, one that was removed by the author and one that died because no committee member would even motion to vote on it.Nathan and Mike reflect on God's faithfulness, the growth of homeschooling, and the partnerships among FPM, HSLDA, and CHEA that have preserved homeschool freedom in California. Mike shares encouragement for new homeschool families, advice for persevering through hard seasons, and honors the legacy of his late wife Elizabeth, a longtime advocate, prayer warrior, and champion for homeschoolers.HSLDA Website: https://hslda.org/ Become an HSLDA Member: https://hslda.org/join Donate to HSLDA: https://hslda.org/content/donate/ FPM Website: fpmca.org

There are many reasons why parents or guardians choose to homeschool their children for some portion or all of their educational years. This can range from a child having a disability or neurodiversity, concerns about the quality of education, to other topics like moral or religious conflict with traditional schools. Ryan Stollar shared the story of his experiences as a homeschooled child of an Evangelical family upbringing. He also talks about some of the trauma that he has experienced or witnessed from homeschooling ideologies, including sexual and/or physical abuse. Ryan's childhood included physical punishments from his parents, consistent with church doctrine. “There were teachers in evangelicalism who promoted how to raise and train children. And they always include corporal punishment,” he said. Ryan included that these punishments drove a wedge between him and his parents. He also noted that as he grew older and began speaking with other homeschooled children, he began to realize how bad some others had it concerning inadequate education, misogyny towards women's roles, and other forms of abuse. This was when he decided to act in the name of future homeschool children to prevent their abuse. Ryan is the author of the book The Kingdom of Children: A Liberation Theology. He co-founded the website Homeschoolers Anonymous, where many people who have been homeschooled share their stories of experiences and trauma. If you care about children, and worry about what is happening in America, this is an interview you will want to listen to and share. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this powerful episode, Cheryl sits down with Anya, a seasoned mom who made the courageous choice to pull her son out of school during a season of deep grief — and discovered that unschooling was the unexpected key to his healing, growth, and confidence.Anya shares how losing her son's father, navigating the chaos of COVID schooling, and tuning into her child's emotional needs led her to take full ownership of her family's educational path. What followed included incredible personal growth, restored mental health, and the realization that children often learn more outside the system than inside it.Together we explore: • How unschooling helped her son recover emotionally and academically • Why children can easily return to public school without “falling behind” • The impact of grief, trauma, and stress on learning • Why emotional intelligence matters more than worksheets • Homeschool myths that keep parents scared • Real-life skills kids actually need (and how school suppresses them) • The hidden pressures on parents from schools, doctors & society • Why confidence, connection, and slow childhood matter more than curriculumIf you're considering homeschooling, curious about unschooling, or questioning the one-size-fits-all school system, this episode will give you permission to trust yourself — and your child — more deeply.Connect with Anya: www.theangelwearsprana.comInstagramYoutubeFacbook A Connected Christmas Unit Study! Start making Christmas memories today!!

The host of the popular homeschooling podcast “The Homeschool How To”, Cheryl Daley, swings by to explain just how easy it is to make the educational move away from government schools and back into the home. In Cheryl's case, she had to reevaluate her government career for herself, as well as her relationship with state schooling for her kids. Her podcast works for parents with really young kids, or those with older kids in high school as well, and her Curriculum Series gets right to the point with what actually works. Older kids also have opportunities to advance their education journey in a much different and customizable way, including extracurricular activities such as joining local high school sports teams, community-organized sports leagues, and traveling sports teams. — Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels: Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast — MACRO & Charlie Robinson Links Hypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwms The Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMm Website: www.Macroaggressions.io  Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/  Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast Activist Post Family Activist Post: www.ActivistPost.com  Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com  Support Our Sponsors C60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACRO Chemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACRO Wise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836 LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com  EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACRO Christian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro  Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/ Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACRO The Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471  Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACRO Augason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO  — Guest Links Website: https://thehomeschoolhowto.com/resources/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehomeschoolhowtopodcast —

Join us: https://simplyconvivial.com/ready5 -- Most moms jump into planning by asking, “What should I do next?”But faithful planning starts with a different question: “What actually happened this year?”When you skip reflection, you end up repeating overwhelm—not learning from it. Reflection is not just “looking back.” It's paying attention to what God has been doing in your home, heart, and habits—so your new plans aren't built on frustration, but on wisdom.In this episode, we'll walk through:✔ Why reflection is the key to meaningful planning✔ How God uses remembrance to shape our priorities✔ A simple 3-question reflection habit you can start right now✔ Why skipping reflection keeps you stuck in the same cycle year after year

Are borders tyrannical or necessary? Returning guest Chris Polk helps us dismantle the political theater around immigration and ask what allegiance to Jesus looks like when the state shows up with masks and rifles. From truck-stop stories to John 4, they explore why restricting movement may be the worst tyranny and how ordinary neighbor love beats team-red/blue fear. Chris argues both parties fed the ICE machine, shares a Cuban car rescue story that needed no papers, and reminds us that Jesus walked through Samaria, not around it. If Mary and Joseph fled Herod today, would we demand their passports? They dig into: Why “do something!” turns into state violence Borders as cages that keep you in vs. others out The Good Samaritan as the “Good Immigrant” Cop-aganda and qualified immunity “Would Jesus follow the law?” when the law crushes the least

Is tech quietly running your homeschool?In this episode, we explore what happens when we trade the shared adventure of learning at home for one-child-one-screen schooling. We look at why so many of us feel pressured to meet standards, how online platforms promise to “save” us, and what our kids might be losing when learning is reduced to logins, slides, and quizzes. We also imagine a different path: learning as a lifestyle, full of real conversations, messy projects, and magic moments that don't fit into a metric.Listen in, then join us in reclaiming the joy of being learners together at home.Resources:Visit Julie's Substack to find her post on this topicVisit our “Tools for the Art of Writing” page in the Brave Writer Book ShopExplore our lineup of engaging writing classesPurchase Julie's new book, Help!

https://simplyconvivial.com/ready5 -- Last year's plans fell apart? You're not alone.Most plans fail because they're built for ideal conditions, not for real life. When interruptions happen—kids get sick, routines change, motivation dips—your plan collapses because it wasn't designed to flex.But that doesn't mean you failed.It means the plan wasn't faithful, just perfect-looking.Faithful plans flex, grow, and adjust—just like you do.In this episode, we'll unpack:✔ Why most plans break down✔ How God uses interruptions to grow wisdom (not frustration)✔ The difference between perfect planning and faithful planning✔ How to build a plan that bends—but doesn't break

Today we're talking about your God-given right to raise, educate, and disciple your children without government interference. New Jersey is pushing two bills—A5825 and A5796—that would tighten control over homeschoolers, while UNESCO and the UN advance “global citizenship” and standardized education worldwide.My friend Mike Farris—founder of HSLDA and a longtime defender of homeschool freedom—joins me to explain what these proposals actually do, why “curriculum alignment” is so dangerous, how treaties like the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child come into play, and why what happens in New Jersey won't stay there.If you homeschool—or just care about parental rights and liberty—this episode is your call to stay informed, stay engaged, and stay off the bench.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.
