In this episode, Kelly chats with Evgeniia Arasim, a homeschooling mom and pro-metabolic health coach who helps homeschooling mothers recover from burnout and thrive in their daily lives through a return to wellness.
Evgeniia shares her transformative story—from growing up in a competitive Russian school environment to embracing a homeschooling lifestyle with her family in Toronto. After facing severe burnout during the pandemic while juggling motherhood, business, and life, Evgeniia rebuilt her life by focusing on sustainable, nourishing habits.
Kelly and Evgeniia discuss:
- The realities of burnout and why it’s so common among homeschooling moms with neurodiverse kids.
- The power of small, sustainable habits to support physical, emotional, and mental health.
- Practical tips for incorporating movement, nutrition, breathwork, and rest into your day—even amidst the chaos of homeschooling kids with sensitive nervous systems.
- The science behind blood sugar regulation and why it’s essential for emotional stability.
- How prioritizing your basic needs creates a ripple effect of wellness for your entire family.
Evgeniia also highlights her philosophy that “small steps lead to big change” and how grace, self-compassion, and simplicity are key in the process. Her passion for supporting mothers shines through as she offers tangible, relatable advice for making health, wellness, and self-care a family affair.

Evgeniia is a homeschooling mama and pro-metabolic health coach dedicated to helping homeschooling moms thrive. She lives in Toronto with her husband and young son, embracing a lifestyle rooted in freedom, adventure, and slow-paced, child-led learning.
Originally from Russia, where she grew up in a competitive school and sports environment, Evgeniia sought to create a different kind of childhood for her son—one filled with joyful exploration and family connection.
Together with her husband, Evgeniia homeschools using English, Polish, and Russian, making their educational journey as enriching as it is fun.
After the birth of her son, Evgeniia shifted her focus from traditional fitness to a pro-metabolic approach to health, recognizing that true wellness encompasses more than physical movement. She now works with homeschooling moms to help them overcome burnout, restore their energy, and create sustainable habits through nourishing food, functional movement, and mindset shifts.
