  • When Your Expectations Grow Faster Than Your Child! | Secular Homeschool, Early Childhood
    Oct 5 2025

    What if being called “smart” is the very thing that steals a child’s freedom to be human?
    When a child shows early brilliance—talking in full sentences, reading ahead of grade level, or mastering self-control—we often start expecting consistency that isn’t developmentally possible. One mistake, one spill, one meltdown, and suddenly our tone shifts. We forget they’re still learning.

    In this episode, we explore how adults unconsciously turn competence into pressure, how “regressions” are actually signs of integration, and how this pattern repeats through every stage—age 3, 7, 14, even 21. You’ll hear reflections on emotional and brain development, the science of expectation, and how to meet your child’s growth with grace instead of frustration.

    Because being “advanced” doesn’t mean being ready. It means they trust you enough to keep unfolding.

  • Why Disney Didn’t Feel Right for My Toddler: Trusting My Gut
    Sep 22 2025

    What if the stories we share in the first six years of life shape our children’s inner world far more than we realize?

    In this episode of Intuitive Homeschool, I share why I’ve chosen to skip mainstream children’s media—Disney movies, high-drama shows, and early romance storylines—and how this decision came from following my intuition as a mother. I talk openly about the common Disney themes of parental loss, villains stealing power, and premature romance, and why I don’t want those to be the first archetypes my daughter carries in her imagination.

    We’ll explore perspectives from Waldorf and Montessori education, research on early childhood development and screen time, and what science tells us about how stories affect a child’s subconscious mind. I also share what we do instead: gentle picture books, slow storytelling, and songs that nurture wonder and connection.

    This conversation isn’t about judgment—it’s about re-imagining what childhood could look like in a world where we are more conscious of the stories we plant in our children’s hearts.

  • Multi-Generational Mindset in Education and Money - Why Homeschooling is the New Wealth
    Sep 14 2025

    What if homeschooling is more than a choice for today—it’s a gift for your children’s children?

    In this episode of Intuitive Homeschool, I share a story that began with an Instagram post about Jewish generational wealth. It sparked a conversation with my husband and opened a deeper reflection on why so many of us have lost the long-view mindset. For two generations or more, survival often left no room to think beyond today. But now—at a time of resources, technology, and possibility—we can return to thinking multi-generationally.

    We’ll explore:
    ✨ How trauma and survival shaped short-term thinking in past generations
    ✨ Why homeschooling isn’t just about education—it’s about emotional, intellectual, and spiritual wealth passed down the line
    ✨ How re-framing money, resources, and creativity can shift us into legacy thinking
    ✨ The quiet, powerful way homeschooling families are already cultivating generational stability

    This episode is part story, part reflection, and part invitation—to think of your daily choices as seeds you’re planting, not just for your children, but for your children’s children.

  • When Doubt Shows Up - Talking About Homeschooling With Others and With Yourself
    Sep 7 2025

    One of the hardest parts of homeschooling isn’t math lessons or finding curriculum—it’s the constant explaining. To family, to friends, and sometimes, to ourselves. In this episode of Intuitive Homeschool, I share what I’ve learned about navigating those conversations—both the outer ones with relatives who don’t understand, and the inner ones on the days doubt creeps in.

    We’ll talk about the common questions homeschoolers face, the quiet doubts of full-time parents, the guilt that working parents carry, and even some research on how homeschoolers do in college (spoiler: they’re thriving).

    This isn’t a how-to. It’s a heart-to-heart from one mom figuring it out, with reflections and stories to remind you that you’re not alone, and that presence matters more than perfection.

    • The courage it takes to say no to groups that drain you, and yes to circles that truly nourish

  • When You Feel Like You’re Failing in Homeschool - Feeling Stressed when You Don't Have To
    Aug 24 2025

    What if the moments you feel like you’re failing your child are actually the most sacred part of homeschooling? In this episode of Intuitive Homeschool, we explore how devotion—not perfection—shapes the heart of learning at home.

    You’ll hear why messy days aren’t proof you’re doing it wrong, but living lessons in presence, nervous system regulation, and emotional resilience. Through research, reflection, and soul-centered practices, we’ll uncover how children don’t need flawless teaching—they need to see us return, repair, and keep choosing love.

    This conversation blends psychology (perfectionism and parenting stress), science (Polyvagal Theory and co-regulation), and soul wisdom (why devotion is found in the return). By the end, you’ll carry a gentler perspective: your devotion is enough, even in the cracks.

    🌿 Keywords woven in: soul-led homeschooling, conscious parenting, nervous system regulation, intuitive learning, emotional alchemy, devotion not perfection.

    Aug 17 2025

    As parents, our decisions often start in the mind — weighing pros and cons, imagining outcomes, and trying to choose the “best” for our children. But what if true alignment begins in the body? In this episode of Light Body Homeschool, I share a real-life story of being pulled between two good choices and how listening to my body’s signals over my mind’s justifications shifted everything. We’ll explore the science of intuition, why interoception is essential for emotional intelligence, and how you can model embodied decision-making so your children grow up trusting their inner compass.
