As a government worker, biding my time until I could cash in on that all-mightly pension, I was part of the hustle that thought spending our days in a cubicle was normal, sending our kids off to daycare was normal, and being disconnected from nature and our food sources was, of course, normal. in 2021, New York started masking three year olds in daycare, and it was then that my husband and I realized what little control we actually had over our children while they are in the care of these government institutions. We started questioning why we were living our lives this way and if there was another option.

So, I pulled my son from daycare and JOINED A FEW HOMESCHOOLING PLAYGROUPS in the area. IN THE BACK OF MY MIND, I KEPT THINKING- "THIS WILL NEVER BE ME! I'M NOT A HOMESCHOOLER! ... (I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SEW MY OWN CLOTHES!)"

I BOMBARDED every homeschooler I met WITH A LIST OF QUESTIONS, "WHAT DOES YOUR DAY-TO-DAY LOOK LIKE? HOW DO YOU PICK CURRICULUM? WHAT ABOUT PROMS AND FOOTBALL GAMES?" Then One day I thought to myself, “IF I have these questions- other parents must have the these questions, too, right?” So, my podcast, The Homeschool How To, was born.

I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH having THE MOST AMAZING, knowledgable, creative and resiliant GUESTS ON MY PODCAST. I HAVE LEARNED SO, SO MUCH about homeschooling and all the ways it can be done.

WHAT SETS MY PODCAST APART FROM OTHER HOMESCHOOLING PODCASTS OUT THERE?
Well, I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HOMESCHOOLING, SO I ASK THE PEOPLE WHO DO! YOU ARE LEARNING RIGHT ALONG WITH ME. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO PREACH, I DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, and I don't do everything right. BUT, WITH EACH BATTLE COMES MORE QUESTIONS FOR ME TO ASK THE SEASONED HOMESCHOOLers THAT come ON MY SHOW. IF I’M EXPERIENCING THESE HURDLES, CHANCES ARE, I’M NOT ALONE.

I HOPE I AM ABLE TO HELP OTHER HOMESCHOOLING AND "HOMESCHOOL-HESITANT" PARENTS TAKE THE PLUNGE INTO A WORLD OF FREEDOM, FAMILY BONDING, and LEARNING WHAT MATTERS TO THE child AND THEIR GOALS- NOT THE GOALS SET BY THE ROCKEFELLERS OR HORACE MANN.

IF THERE'S ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE, IT'S THAT NO ONE ON THEIR DEATHBED EVER SAID, "I WISH I SPENT LESS TIME WITH MY KIDS." SO, SPEND IT WITH THEM NOW, WHEN IT MATTERS MOST. YOU CAN MAKE THAT PAPER (THAT ISN’T BACKED BY ANYTHING OF VALUE anyway!) AT ANY TIME IN YOUR LIFE. YOUR CHILDREN HOLD VALUE. INVEST IN THEM while you still can.
