    How to Stop People-Pleasing as a Homeschool Mom (One Mom’s Story)
    Feb 17 2026
    What happens when you finally stop asking permission to be yourself? If you’ve been wondering how to stop people-pleasing as a homeschool mom, this conversation will show you it’s possible. Homeschool mom and creative entrepreneur Latoya shares her journey from living for everyone else to discovering what she actually wants—and why that shift changed everything in her homeschool life. This month’s focus: Nurturing the Nurturer — because you can’t give what you don’t have, and your kids don’t need your perfection. They need your presence. Latoya hit 40 and realized she’d spent decades doing what everyone expected—but had never asked herself what SHE actually wanted. As a homeschool mom, restaurant management graduate, and someone who always made sure everyone else was okay, the idea of prioritizing herself felt selfish. Scary. Wrong. But when she finally gave herself permission to explore her creativity, build her crochet business, and trust her own voice? That was when things began to shift. Her homeschool days became more peaceful. Her kids became more autonomous. And she discovered that choosing herself wasn’t selfish—it was the best thing she could do for her family. How to Stop People-Pleasing as a Homeschool Mom: Latoya’s Journey from Self-Sacrifice to Self-Trust What You’ll Discover in This Episode The Permission You’ve Been Waiting For: Why serving yourself actually serves your family betterHow to distinguish between what you want and what others expect of youThe power of silence and solitude in discovering your authentic voiceWhy “waiting for the answer” is part of the process From Rigid to Present: Redefining Homeschool Success What a “good day” used to look like (spoiler: checking all the boxes) vs. what it looks like nowHow to choose peace over productivity for a more meaningful family lifeWhy your kids’ autonomy grows when you honour your ownThe truth about gaps, “behind,” and what kids actually need to thrive Caribbean Flow vs. Hustle Culture: The cultural pressure to always be “doing something”Why presence matters more than productivityHow to give yourself permission to just BE with your peopleWhat happens when you stop measuring success externally Creative Work as Life Force (Not Luxury): Why Latoya’s crochet business isn’t “extra”—it’s essentialHow creative pursuits actually fuel better motheringChoosing fulfillment over financial gain (and being okay with that)Teaching your kids to honour their interests by modeling it yourself The Inner Work Nobody Talks About: Why inner work is gritty, messy, and nothing like social media portraysHow to extend to yourself the same compassion you give othersThe first small decision where you stop explaining and start trusting yourselfWhy disappointing others is sometimes the most aligned choice “What is best for you, for me is what’s best for them because it trickles into everything else. So the happier I become, the more comfortable I become with myself, the better everything around me gets.” — Latoya Why This Conversation Matters This isn’t just another interview about homeschooling. It’s about what happens when you finally permit yourself to ask: Who am I beyond the roles I play? If you’re struggling with how to stop people-pleasing as a homeschool mom, Latoya’s story is for you. She’s every mom who’s ever wondered if wanting something for herself makes her selfish. But here’s what Latoya discovered (and what you will too): When you choose yourself, your kids don’t suffer. They thrive. Because they get to see what it looks like to honor your own voice, trust your own knowing, and live from alignment instead of obligation. Your homeschool doesn’t need more curriculum. It needs more of YOU—the real you, the aligned you, the unapologetic you.

  • How to Stop the Inner Critic as a Homeschool Mom: The Charmed Life I Was Chasing (& the Pattern I Didn’t Know I Was Living)

    How to Stop the Inner Critic as a Homeschool Mom: The Charmed Life I Was Chasing (& the Pattern I Didn’t Know I Was Living)
    Feb 10 2026
    When “Keep Going” Becomes Survival: How to Stop the Inner Critic as a Homeschool Mom If you’ve been wondering how to stop the inner critic as a homeschool mom, this episode will show you why that voice is so loud—and where it actually came from. This month’s focus: Nurturing the Nurturer — because the voice telling you you’re not enough didn’t start with homeschooling. It started long before. And it’s running your days more than you realize. I was eight months pregnant, in relentless pain, watching my support system shift beneath me—and I told myself to just keep going. Years later, on a chaotic Monday morning with four kids and cold coffee, I was still saying the same thing. What I didn’t know then was that I wasn’t being strong. I was surviving a pattern I’d learned as a child—one that many homeschool moms are still living without realizing it. In this episode, I’m sharing two personal stories that finally helped me see: the inner narratives I developed in childhood to survive chaos were now shaping how I showed up as a homeschool mom. And they were costing me connection—with myself, my kids, and the life I actually wanted. What You’ll Discover in This Episode The Inheritance You Didn’t Ask For: How childhood survival patterns show up in your homeschool lifeWhy “keep going” isn’t strength—it’s often unprocessed survivalThe hidden cost of white-knuckling through motherhoodWhat it means to lead from alignment instead of old scripts Two Stories, One Pattern: Being eight months pregnant: contractions, exhaustion, feeling abandoned—and the belief that stopping meant failingA Monday morning in slump month: foggy, irritable, yelling at the kids, and realizing the loud voice wasn’t just theirs—it was mineHow these moments, years apart, were connected by the same inherited narrative The Inner Critic You Don’t Realize Is Running the Show: “If I stop, everything falls apart”“I should be able to do this”“Other moms handle this better”“If I rest, I’m letting everyone down” How to Stop the Inner Critic as a Homeschool Mom: Recognizing that mistakes are just mistakes—you can repairUnderstanding that your worth isn’t found in hustling or proving yourselfBuilding a firmer inner connection so you can lead from intention, not pressureMoving from reaction to response—aligned from the inside out The Truth About the Inner Critic Learning how to stop the inner critic as a homeschool mom isn’t about positive thinking or trying harder. It’s about seeing the pattern clearly—and choosing something different. Your kids don’t need you to be perfect. They need you to show up as yourself—fully, imperfectly, and grounded. But when the inner critic is running the show, you’re not leading from presence. You’re reacting from an old story that was never yours to begin with. And that story? It didn’t come from homeschooling. It came from somewhere earlier. Somewhere deeper. Until you see it clearly, it’s going to keep driving your days.

    The Most Important Way to Take Care of Yourself as an Overwhelmed Homeschool Mom
    Feb 3 2026
    How to Take Care of Yourself as an Overwhelmed Homeschool Mom: What Self-Care Actually Is This month’s 1% Pivot: Nurture Yourself to Nurture Them—because if you’ve been wondering how to take care of yourself as an overwhelmed homeschool mom and nurture the nurturer, this episode is for you. By year 15 of homeschooling, I had written nearly 600 blog posts—every Wednesday night at Starbucks, processing my journey through words. That writing became therapy, self-discovery, and emotional regulation. And in 2018, it became a book that would resonate with thousands of exhausted homeschool moms. This month’s 1% Pivot: Nurture Yourself to Nurture Them. Because homeschool moms give endlessly—but so often, we forget that we need nurturing too. And when we’re depleted, our kids feel it. What You’ll Discover in This Episode What Self-Care Actually Is: Why self-care isn’t about bubble baths and manicuresHow to address your internal worldHow to recognize the invisible load of motherhoodHow you show up in relationship to yourself—and others The Invisible Load You’re Carrying: Managing everyone’s emotional stateHolding the family cultureMaking a thousand micro-decisions a dayNavigating sibling conflictsKeeping the household runningAnd somehow also supposed to enjoy doing it all The Three Questions That Changed Everything: When overwhelm rises, put your hand on your heart and ask: How do I feel?What am I thinking?Is that thought true? Not to convince yourself everything is fine—but to get clear and accurate about what’s actually happening inside you. Self-care isn’t about the nail studio. It’s about caring for the part of you that you’ve been ignoring. The part of you that deserves to be known. Why This Matters for Your Kids: Your kids don’t need you to have it all together. They need you to model what it looks like to come back to yourself when you’ve lost it. They need to see that emotions are okay to feel—and then you ask yourself what you need.
