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!

Latest Episodes

What happens when a passionate public school teacher realizes the system she’s devoted her life to is built on control, coercion, and outdated standards?

In this powerful episode of The Homeschool How To Podcast, former K–12 teacher Angela Harders shares her eye-opening journey from traditional education to homeschooling and ultimately unschooling her own children. After over a decade in the classroom, Angela came to a painful conclusion: she was part of a system that often relied on fear, compliance, and force—not freedom or curiosity.

Her story begins with a desk thrown across the room on her very first day of teaching—and ends with her daughter launching a popsicle business by age 7, all without ever using a formal curriculum.

Angela opens up about:

Her shift from teacher to unschooling parent
Why she believes children can learn 13 years of math in just 6 months
How her daughter learned to read without being taught
Why the education system is designed for obedience, not understanding
The power of real-world learning and self-direction
How she now helps families legally unschool through PAX Academy and Peaceful World Schoolers

Whether you're a curious parent, frustrated teacher, or seasoned homeschooler, Angela’s story will challenge everything you think you know about education—and inspire you to rethink what learning really looks like.

👉 If you've ever searched:

”Should I homeschool my child?”
”What is unschooling?”
”Why are teachers leaving the classroom?”
”How do unschoolers learn math?”
…this episode is for you.

Testimonials

"I love how she is delving into how education in a public setting is making a lot of people question its methods and that homeschooling can be a viable option for people, and has so much to offer families. I myself was homeschooled. Growing up, our parents were looked down on, it is so nice to see the podcast showcase how many people have been happy with their choice to homeschool."

"This has been the most useful podcast! Questions you’ve asked are exactly what I had in my head. The the noise of people around me who just don’t get it yet, doesn’t bother me as much, as I’m learning through you and your guests about all this! Thank you so much for doing this!."

"A perfect podcast for those exploring a homeschooling journey. Every episode is packed full of resources! So many families have been forced by the government to homeschool. Get prepared now before the woke corruption comes to your school!"
