What happens when a single mom in the Foreign Service gets the double whammy — "your child might have dyslexia" AND profound hearing loss? She figures it out. Katharyn Havens joins Cheryl from outside Nairobi, Kenya, where she's running a multi-age homeschool pod, teaching kids AI ethics, and building her own AI co-pilot for homeschool parents.
In this episode:
How cochlear implant surgery changed everything — and bought them time
Why Katherine walked away from a 14-year Foreign Service career
The year they moved to Florida, ditched the diagnosis, and just learned to live
How her son went from nonverbal to reading Green Eggs and Ham — on his own timeline
Building a homeschool pod in Kenya with kids of all ages
Her AI code of ethics for kids (yes, they have written rules)
What "symphonic thinking" is and why it's the most future-proof skill you can teach
Whether you're just starting out or deep in the homeschool journey, Katherine's story will remind you: you know your kid best. Trust that.
