I've recently found Christy on Instagram and then found her show on Audible. I love the topics she covers about homeschooling. She talks about assumptions/myths of homeschool and research. She empowers families to homeschool with her experience and knowledge of education. The guests she invites for episodes give different perspectives on homeschooling and educational topics. I can't wait for her book to come out!

Informative, uplifting, and empowering! A must listen to show for homeschool parents!
