What happens when life completely falls apart — and you still have to show up for your kids? This week Cheryl sits down with Barbara, a former special education teacher turned homeschool mom of four, who opens up about one of the hardest questions in homeschooling: what do you do when you're grieving?
After years of fighting the school system for resources her students deserved, Barbara knew she didn't want that for her own kids. She pulled them out, ditched the rigid curriculum, and built something that actually works for her spicy, high-energy family.
In this episode:
Why connection over perfection changed everything for her family
How she homeschools four kids aged 5–12 using interest-led unit studies
What homeschooling through the loss of her mother actually looked like
South Carolina's homeschool options and funding
Why socialization was never actually a problem
Barbara also shares her memoir and upcoming Bible study guide for homeschooling through grief — because sometimes life takes the rug out from under you, and you still have to be there for your family.
