Stuck in the cycle of doubt, asking “Am I doing enough?” And fighting the urge to push more academics to get more learning? Unpack with us why that approach backfires—especially for neurodivergent kids—and what actually works instead: safety, trust, and rhythm.
“Which curriculum is best?” is the wrong question—and what to ask instead. Learn how to use curriculum as a flexible tool, not a rigid roadmap, and discover a deschooled approach to planning that centers your child’s real needs, interests, and strengths.
Overwhelmed by homeschool laws and afraid you’re not doing enough? This episode breaks down what’s actually required—no fluff, no fear. Learn how to stay compliant while honoring your child’s natural learning and nervous system needs.
We explore the journey that brought Amy to unschooling and the mindset shift encapsulated in her catch phrase, “Curriculum is for the uninspired days.”
Dive into the complexities of choosing and using curriculum in homeschooling or not using curriculum at all!
We discuss the myths and expectations surrounding curriculum, the importance of understanding your family’s unique needs, and how to balance structure with the freedom of learning.
In this special episode, Kelly and Robyn pull back the curtain on their friendship, families, and homeschools. They share updates from their independent lives and, most importantly, announce what’s coming up for How To Be An Awesome Homeschooler!
Kelly shares insights on embracing a relaxed summer approach, and the importance of being present with your children. This episode encourages listeners to set aside the pressures of planning the perfect homeschool year and instead, enjoy the enriching experiences summer offers.
Do you ever feel like you’re drowning in curriculum choices? I know the feeling all too well. Reviewing options can be endless and overwhelming, leaving us with questions like:

If you’ve ever found yourself pondering one or several of these questions, you’re are not alone!
