A 90-Minute Workshop for Homeschool Moms Who Are Tired of Being So Hard on Themselves

Join moms who feel exactly like you do — and leave knowing you can stop the spiral and show up with intention!

In this workshop, you'll transform harsh self-criticism into compassionate self-leadership.


You'll leave with:


✓ Recognition of when normal frustration crosses into harsh self-attack (so you can interrupt it before it spirals)


✓ The 4-Step Thought Care Framework you can use IN THE MOMENT when that critical voice shows up


✓ Practical tools that work in real homeschool life—not theory you'll forget tomorrow


✓ Your personalized self-compassion action plan for managing big emotions without beating yourself up


✓ Renewed confidence that struggling doesn't mean failing—you're human, not broken

Does This Sound Like You?


You snap at your kids during math. Instantly, that voice starts:


"You're a terrible mom. Why can't you be more patient? Other homeschool moms don't lose it like this."


You scroll Instagram and see another mom's perfectly organized homeschool setup. You look at your chaotic kitchen table:


"Everyone else has it together. My kids deserve better than this mess. I'm failing them."


Your child struggles with reading. You lie awake replaying the day:


"What if I'm ruining their future? Maybe I'm not cut out for this. I should have sent them to school."

Now you're:


☑ Beating yourself up constantly—for snapping, frustrated for every imperfect moment


☑ Lying awake at night replaying everything you "should have" done differently


☑ Feeling like no matter how hard you try, you're still not enough


☑ Spiraling into guilt every time you react instead of respond


☑ Exhausted from the loop: React → Feel Bad → Criticize Yourself → React Again


☑ Modeling harsh self-criticism for your kids instead of the emotional resilience you want them to learn


You know you're being too hard on yourself. Everyone tells you to "give yourself grace."


But knowing isn't the same as doing—and no one taught you HOW to actually interrupt that harsh inner voice.

What You'll Gain:


1 Recognition Tool + 1 Framework + 2 Techniques + 1 Action Plan + 90 Focused Minutes = What you need to calm that inner critic!


"I can't remember the last time I felt this safe to talk to someone and share difficult, vulnerable things from my heart and past, while knowing that I would get compassionate validation and wise advice. To have someone I deeply respect and admire listen to me, laugh with me, cry with me, get curious with me and help me see things from a different perspective means so much more than I could ever put into words." — Workshop participant


If these words just hit you in the gut, you're in the right place.


You're not a bad mom. You're not failing. You're just trying to homeschool without the internal tools you need to handle that harsh inner voice.


Let's change that.

I See You. I've Been You.


If we haven't met, I'm Teresa Wiedrick.

For 20 years, I homeschooled four kids while that critical inner voice told me I wasn't patient enough, organized enough, or doing enough. Other moms had it more together. I was failing them.

Until one particularly frustrating day—when I couldn't reach my husband or my best friend—I stood in front of my bathroom mirror and did something that changed everything.

I talked to myself the way I'd talk to a struggling friend.

Weird? Yes.

Effective? Absolutely.

That moment taught me something important: the way we talk to ourselves matters much more than the curriculum we choose or the routine we enact.

Since then, I've helped hundreds of homeschool moms learn to interrupt that harsh inner critic and show up as their best selves—not because they're perfect, but because they've learned to treat themselves with compassion.

You're not failing. You're just trying to do something extraordinary without learning how to handle that critical voice in your head.

Let's change that together.

Here's Exactly What We'll Do Together


This isn't a typical workshop where you sit and take notes while someone lectures about positive thinking. This is a working session where you'll get tools, create your plan, and connect with other moms who understand.


PART 1: RECOGNIZE THE PATTERN (30 minutes)


Identify where harsh self-talk is showing up in YOUR homeschool

Understand the difference between "This is hard" (situation) vs. "I'm not enough" (self-attack)

Discover the loop keeping you stuck: React → Feel Bad → Criticize → React Again

Connect with moms who feel exactly what you're feeling right now


You'll receive: The Recognition Tool to identify when that critical voice takes over—before it spirals.


"Teresa helped me see the roots behind the surface-level issues. The coaching was the impetus to help me think more deeply about my 'whys' to get to a place to see where change needed to be made." — Rene, mom of teens and young adults


PART 2: INTERRUPT THE VOICE (30 minutes)


Learn the 4-Step Thought Care Framework you can use immediately

Practice the Mirror Technique (weird but effective!)

Discover how to talk to yourself the way you'd talk to a friend

Master the questions that stop the spiral before it starts


You'll receive: Practical IN-THE-MOMENT tools—not reflective practices you do later when you have time.


"One thing I did for myself since we talked is set two alarms on my phone—one in the morning and one in the afternoon. When they go off, I pause, put my hand on my heart, and take a few deep breaths. The other day we were all in the kitchen when the alarm went off. All three of us stopped to put our hands on our hearts in complete silence and took deep breaths together. It was a beautiful moment." — Maria


PART 3: CREATE YOUR PLAN (30 minutes)


Build your personal self-compassion action plan

Get coaching on YOUR specific struggles

Learn from other moms navigating the same challenges

Leave with concrete next steps you can implement tomorrow morning


You'll receive: The Self-Compassion Journaling Workbook to continue your practice after the workshop.


"When I'm struggling and start thinking 'I can't do this', I find myself often hearing Teresa's voice saying—You ARE doing it. That shift on its own is invaluable." — Trina

But Wait... I Know What You're Thinking


"I've tried positive thinking before and it didn't work. Why would this be different?"


Because this isn't about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine.


This is about recognizing when your thoughts cross from accurate ("This is hard") to self-attack ("I'm bad at this")—and learning to interrupt that pattern with compassion. You'll learn practical tools that work in real homeschool moments, not generic affirmations that feel fake.


You'll leave with strategies you can use the NEXT time you snap at your kids—not theory you'll forget tomorrow.


"Teresa is the real deal! An experienced homeschool Mom who's been there and can help others get out of overwhelm. Her ability to hold space for silence and difficult feelings makes her 'no small talk' approach so effective. I trust her." — Carla


"What if I'm the only one who's THIS hard on myself?"


You're not alone in this struggle. Every mom in this workshop has raised her hand to say "I beat myself up constantly and I need help stopping." That shared honesty creates instant connection.


"I absolutely love the group of women you have attracted into your workshops and this support group. It has definitely been a game changer for me. Women supporting women from all different backgrounds, from all around the world - it really is a beautiful thing." — Michelle


Plus, you'll discover that the harsh inner critic is one of the MOST common challenges homeschool moms face—but most of us suffer in silence.


"I don't have time for another workshop."


I hear you. You're already overwhelmed.


But here's the truth: You don't have time NOT to do this.


Every day you let that harsh voice run your homeschool is another day you're operating from guilt and shame instead of intention. Another day your kids see you beating yourself up instead of modeling self-compassion. Another day the spiral continues.


This 90-minute workshop is designed for busy homeschool moms, with tools you can implement IMMEDIATELY to interrupt the pattern. And if you can't make it live, a recording will be available to fit your schedule.


"Will this actually work if I'm REALLY harsh with myself?"


Yes! In fact, that's exactly who this workshop is designed for.


The tools I'll share work specifically for that relentless inner critic—the voice that says you're failing, you're not enough, you're ruining them. We'll practice together so you leave with confidence in using them.


"My greatest insight is that taking care of me does not mean I'm being selfish or ignoring my kids' needs, quite the opposite actually. The more I treat myself with kindness, listen to my needs and try to address them, the more at ease I will be and the more at ease my whole family will be." — Sonia

Your Village Is Waiting


On Friday, February 27, you'll walk into a (virtual) room full of moms who understand. You'll leave with tools to interrupt that harsh inner voice, a personalized plan, and the confidence that struggling doesn't mean failing—it means you're human.


Space is limited to keep our community intimate and connected.



The Transformation Is Real


"I said it before and I'll say it again, you are such a treasure. I'm smiling and in tears. I can't remember the last time I felt this safe to talk to someone and share difficult, vulnerable things from my heart and past, while knowing that I would get compassionate validation and wise advice. Please know in the depths of your heart that you are making a meaningful difference in this world, helping women, families, friends, communities- ME- grow and heal. And I thank you, I thank you, I thank you." — Michelle


"I felt so at ease, and able to fully express myself to someone outside of my family/friend circle, so I could really speak about the things I needed to without editing/censoring myself. Teresa listens to understand, and I never felt judged, or rushed...it was exactly what I needed." — Trina

Is this faith-based?


The tools I teach are grounded in self-compassion research (Dr. Kristin Neff) and can be applied regardless of your faith background. I share from my own perspective as a person of faith, but all moms are welcome.

Ready to Stop Fighting Yourself?


You have two choices.


Keep letting that harsh inner voice run your homeschool. Keep beating yourself up for every imperfect moment. Keep lying awake replaying everything you did "wrong."


Keep surviving instead of thriving.


OR


Invest 90 minutes to learn how to interrupt that critical voice. Discover practical tools you can use IN THE MOMENT. Create a plan that actually helps.


Start modeling emotional resilience instead of self-criticism for your kids.


The choice is yours.


But here's what I know: You can't create a calm homeschool while constantly battling yourself.


It's time to stop fighting and start leading—with compassion.


Your homeschool journey is yours to design. Let's make it one you love—starting with how you treat yourself.
