Homeschool Moms

Homeschooling is a true gift, an opportunity seemingly out of reach for many families in America. As a homeschool mom, you understand what a blessing & honor it is to have the freedom to make this choice. 

Many homeschooling mothers I work with express deep anxieties for a variety of reasons. Despite what you know to be true, the unsettled feelings you carry can be overwhelming. 

Juggling Multiple Roles: You are the teacher, the house keeper, the chauffeur, the activities manager, and the socialization coordinator. Plus whatever other roles are unique to your family. The stress of holding it all together can contribute to feelings of worry and uncertainty. 

Working + Homeschooling: On top of all the standard roles, many mothers must carry part or all the financial burden in the home. Every task you complete feels like climbing a mountain, everything competing for a piece of your energy pie. The mounting pressure leaves you depleted with no time to refill your own cup. 

Choices, Choices, Choices: You are constantly required to make choices that impact the whole well-being of the family unit & each individual. From curriculum choices to joining new groups or participating in activities. Needing to have it all figured out may create tension & be a substantial source of anxiety. 

Overwhelming feelings of worry, dread or not feeling quite "good enough" often plague homeschool mothers. They so often suffer quietly without realizing the consequences on their mental health. Sometimes a fresh perspective & reconnecting with intentions can assist with alleviating some of the anxiety associated with being a homeschool mom.
