About This Podcast

Thinking about homeschooling? Already in it but feeling overwhelmed or burnt out and wondering if you've made a huge mistake? I'm Sarah Wehkamp, former teacher turned homeschool mom. This is the podcast I wish I'd had when I was thinking about homeschooling and in the first few years after. I was looking for not just the practical (curriculum, scheduling, etc.) but the mindset, the emotional stuff as well. "What if I mess up my kids? What if I lose myself? What if our family judges us?" Here we tackle both. And laugh a lot along the way.
