Navigating Loss, Motherhood, Homeschooling, and Dyslexia with Stephany Rios

Send us Fan Mail

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Stephany Rios, host of the Homeschool with Steph podcast, homeschooling mom of five, and entrepreneur.

Stephany shares her powerful life story—growing up and stepping into a caregiving role at a young age while her mom battled cancer. In her early 20s, she helped care for her mom, supported her eight younger siblings, along side her dad, and followed in her mom’s footsteps by becoming a nurse. Through it all, she experienced deep loss, resilience, and growth that shaped the woman and mother she is today.

Now a wife and mom of five, Stephany homeschools her four older children while raising her youngest toddler. In this conversation, we dive into her homeschooling journey, how she learned to trust herself as a parent, and the moment she realized her daughter has dyslexia.

This episode is filled with heart, honesty, and encouragement for any parent navigating challenges, trusting their instincts, and showing up for their family in the best way they can.

If you’re a parent, caregiver, or someone learning to trust your voice in life’s hardest moments—this episode is for you.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation about resilience, motherhood, and embracing your Different Ability®!
