Let's transform your homeschool journey with a newfound sense of freedom, confidence, and purpose, breaking free from traditional schooling or homeschooling norms, boosting your confidence, and infusing purpose into your homeschool day, aligned with your values.
It doesn't take us long into our homeschool lives to realize that we're just doing the next thing in front of us and we're not assessing whether what we're doing has the most value.
Can I hear an amen?
And because we're trained by the schooled culture to "do" an education a certain way, we move into the homeschool culture (aka your present homeschool method or the method other homeschool families are using), and we assume that this is the only way to do our homeschool lives.
And even if we finally leave everyone's opinions of what we're doing behind us, and do things our way, we still wonder and question ourselves: are we doing right by our child?
This is my story of deschooling...
Is this you?
- The pressure to conform to traditional school methods, even though your kids aren't in a traditional school.
- The pressure to conform to how your local homeschool community is doing homeschool.
- Feeling bound by your internal school taskmaster, who wants you to let go of your plans and expectations, but just doesn't know how.
- Or confident in front of others, but occasionally having existential crises in the middle of the night: am I really doing this homeschool thing good enough??
- Intimidated (or avoidant) in discussing your homeschool choice with others.
- Knowing you are consistently comparing your homeschool (or your kids) with others.
- Wondering why one of your kids just won't do things the way you've planned them?
- Wishing that one kiddo would do it like their sister (or brother) because your life would be a whole lot easier if they did.
- Afraid for a child's future, because they just won't...(you fill in the blank).
- Spending money on curriculum, resources, or extracurriculars that you later realize weren't the right choice and you'd like to know which ones are already.
- Frustrated with your kids because they won't go along with your homeschool plans without bickering, complaining, or fidgeting?
- Stressed that you can't get it all done.
- Know that you want a homeschool driven by curiosity, play, and maybe even fun (dare you even declare THAT), but you honestly don't know how to DO that.
Perhaps you initially intended to provide a personalized, enriching, and fulfilling educational experience for your kids: that was the goal.
But now you can see that it was a lofty goal, and to try to accomplish it has just reaped frustration, doubt, and possibly even burnout.
I get it.
I've been there.
All my deschool transitions throughout my homeschool years have helped me do this:
- Freedom: Breaking free from the absurdities of traditional schooling, and even "expected" homeschool approaches, allowing me to facilitate a home education that served the kiddos in front of me. And they enjoyed it more! AND I ENJOYED it more.
-
Confidence: Feeling confident in my homeschooling approach didn't just make me feel more at ease myself, it also made me more confident as an individual. And guess who else became more confident? Yeah, you guessed it, my kids.
- Purpose: Rediscovering the purpose behind my decision to homeschool and more cleanly implementing my reasons into my actual homeschool days and making sure our learning environment aligned more consistently with our family's values, which made it so much more purposeful.

Here's what others have to say...
"Let’s face it. Homeschooling is hard. And amazing. There is elation and devastation – all in an average day. Teresa comes alongside to help you navigate your relationship with your homeschooling. Not to fix you, but to sufficiently assist you in detaching your identity from the activity so that the activity is elevated to new heights.
Why homeschool coaching? Teresa helps you poke through your assumptions and inner narrative to help you parent and educate gently – not only for your children but for yourself. She matches your pace to co-create sustaining practices for life and the long haul."
--Diane, Graduated Homeschool Mom of 3 & Coach
"Speaking with Teresa in the first minute revealed to me how much I can accomplish when I take a deep breath and speak my desires as a mother aloud. She showed me the clarity I needed was within me all along and aided me in a practical, actionable way that is something I can start applying that day. Which, I did. The peace that comes with sharing space with her provides a presence that can be extended to yourself long after the call. I highly recommend working with her!"
--Mina, Homeschool Mom of 3
