How I Decided to Homeschool

Ever laughed at the idea of homeschooling—only to end up embracing it as your life's calling? In this heartfelt episode of Homeschool Ways Podcast, I share my unexpected path to homeschooling.

I knew nothing about it until college, where I initially dismissed it as a crazy concept. But everything changed when I met young people who had been homeschooled, read a book titled Better Late Than Early, and then had the incredible opportunity to work with Dr. Raymond Moore, the pioneering founder of the Moore Foundation and a true visionary in family-centered education.

Through his wisdom and influence, I discovered the joys of child-led learning, the freedom of home education, and the deep fulfillment of staying home with my kids.If you're a new homeschooler, a curious parent, or someone feeling that nudge toward a different path, this story is for you.

Join me as I unpack the laughs, the lessons, and the leap of faith that led me here.
