315. The 8 Stages of Homeschooling
Wednesday, 26 November, 2025
How do we move from “I think I want to homeschool” to “We’ve created an education that fits us”? In this episode, we walk through the eight natural stages homeschool parents experience, from jumping in without a clue, to swapping curriculum in search of the “perfect” program, to finally trusting ourselves and embracing “us schooling.”We share real stories from our own homeschools, talk about ideological pressure from methods and social media, and offer practical ideas for planning from behind and building a routine you can bend without breaking.Listen in to discover your stage and what might come next, and then join us to share where you are in your journey!Resources:Read Julie’s post on this topic here: Brave Writer Podcast: Natural Stages of Growth as a Home Educator - A Brave Writer’s Life in BriefVisit the Brave Writer Book ShopBrave Writer class registration is open!
