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 if the best thing you could do for your homeschool is put the worksheet down?
In this episode of The Homeschool How To Podcast, Cheryl sits down with Kaitlin Zara, former public school teacher, homeschool mom of two boys, and host of the Homeschool Connections podcast, to talk about what she saw from the inside of a classroom that changed how she teaches her own kids now.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why Kaitlin had to unlearn her formal teacher training to homeschool her own kids
- How hands-on experience — like dissecting squid — teaches more than a worksheet ever could
- What changed in classrooms over the last decade, and why she didn't want that for her own kids
- Why she stopped turning every outing into a unit study
- Why letting your kids see the everyday chaos of family life is part of their education
- How the more you enjoy your own homeschool days, the more your kids enjoy learning
Whether you're brand new to homeschooling or years into it, this conversation is a reminder to stop overplanning and let the learning happen naturally.
