Behind The Mic
Hi, I’m Cheryl—your fellow conspiracy-loving mama who firmly believes the government has no place in raising my kids.
Here’s the kicker: I had zero experience with homeschooling when I realized I wanted to keep my kids out of the school system. I thought homeschoolers were weird and spent their days sewing and whittling. Could I blend our world with homeschooling? Would my kids resent me for missing out on traditional experiences like the prom and football games?
I didn’t know, so I set out on a mission to learn from the experts.
I began my podcast interviewing homeschooling families so I could explore all the ways people are homeschooling, breaking free from the confines of cubicles and classrooms to embrace a life of freedom and curiosity. This journey has been life changing and led me to leave my 16-year government career to fully embrace the homeschooling lifestyle.. and I want to help you do the same!
Join me on this exciting journey as I interview seasoned homeschoolers, uncover creative approaches, and share what I’m learning along the way!

What does it take to break free from a lifetime of educational conditioning? For Evgenia, a Russian immigrant now homeschooling in Canada, the journey began with a powerful realization: ”I don't like to share my child with the government.”
Growing up in Russia's rigid school system left lasting impressions – some teachers still appear in her nightmares decades later. But becoming a mother transformed everything, shifting her from liberal-minded to questioning mainstream educational approaches. When her son was born, Evgenia discovered a freedom she never knew existed in education.
The path hasn't been without challenges. Homeschooling an only child means constant companionship without breaks, especially for her naturally social six-year-old who ”always is on me all the time.” She candidly shares her evolution from attempting strict ”school at home” with her toddler to embracing a more natural learning approach across three languages – Russian, Polish, and English.
Perhaps most valuable is Evgenia's insight into sustaining yourself through the intense journey of homeschooling. Her morning ritual before anyone wakes gives her 45-60 minutes of self-renewal – looking at the sun, enjoying nature, practicing self-massage, prayer, and sometimes dancing alone. ”I realized I cannot live like this anymore,” she explains, ”because I want to pour into everyone's cup, but my cup is empty.”
Her wisdom extends beyond education into wellness: ”Use your kids as motivation to take care of yourself.” This perspective reframes self-care not as selfish but essential – we're modeling behaviors our children will carry into adulthood. Whether you're considering homeschooling, struggling with balancing parenthood, or simply seeking a fresh perspective on education, Evgenia's story reminds us that learning never stops for parents or children.
