Interviews with Homeschoolers

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!

"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!."
