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!

My guests this week, Owen and Christina, have five kids—and their family's answer to that question took them much farther than they ever expected.
It started with something surprisingly simple: their son wanted another thing.. ”to be happy.”
Around the same time, Christina watched a video about families who didn't have access to clean water.
So Owen and Christina did something most of us would probably never consider.
They shut off the water in their house.
For 10 days, their family walked to collect water, carried it home, washed clothes in buckets, and experienced firsthand how much of life we take for granted.
And then something unexpected happened.
When it was time to turn the water back on, they didn't want to.
That experience eventually led them to leave Canada and move their family to rural Guatemala, where their children have learned Spanish through immersion, worked alongside their parents, taken risks, made mistakes, participated in real community life, and learned skills you probably won't find on a traditional report card.
We talk about homeschooling, worldschooling, entitlement, purpose, community, raising capable kids, letting children fail, and why Owen and Christina don't see education as something that only happens in a classroom.
If you've ever looked at your homeschool and wondered, ”Is this enough?”
This episode might make you rethink what education actually means.
