There are so many negative stereotypes of teens today. They are rebellious, moody, lazy, and unmotivated. Just last week, I was talking to a woman whose teen regularly swears and screams at her.
What if I told you it didn’t need to be this way? And it starts with YOU.
In this week’s episode, I talk about why “teenagers” aren’t allowed in my home. And, no. I don’t kick my kids out when they turn thirteen.

The environment you live and work in makes a huge difference in your productivity. We know and apply this to business environments but don’t always think about it concerning our home education. This week I spoke to Kristina Heagh-Avritt and Kitti Andrews. These two amazing women are experts in their fields and are teaming up to help put your home and school in order.
I don’t know about you, but the idea of having to teach upper-level math to my kids made me question our decision to homeschool. It didn’t STOP me. I decided I would figure it out when I got there. But math was not my favorite subject. Teaching it to little kids is fun! “How many red M&Ms are there? What happens if we eat 2?” type of math I can handle no problem. And then we throw in the non-traditional learner, and the math gets even more challenging to teach! My three older kids could take a textbook and learn whatever (even if they didn’t like it), but my youngest two, especially with math, needed something different. And, to be honest, I wish I had been able to do better in math with all of them.
In a world where everyone could use a helping hand, it’s a powerful reminder that we’re all interconnected for a purpose. This week, I had the incredible privilege of hosting Jessica Brittani on the Realizing Genius Podcast, and her story is a testament to the transformative power of seeking and receiving assistance when it’s most needed.
In a world that often values conformity and follows conventional paths, homeschoolers have embarked on a journey that requires immense courage and a unique sense of bravery. Kirsten Liebolt, the host of the renowned podcast “Addicted to Brave,” celebrates the indomitable spirit of homeschoolers and their addiction to being brave.
My time in school was a rocky road. I was picked on and harassed, and not all of my teachers were stellar. Honestly, I regret not having been homeschooled instead. But in this week’s episode, I had a chance to sit down and chat with Tatiana Fallon, who, at the ripe age of five, decided never to go back to school again. She was homeschooled and now homeschools her own four children. With her personal experience in overcoming dyslexia, she has valuable insights into helping others do the same. Plus, she shares her expertise in Leadership Education and a whole lot more. Don’t miss this one!
As parents and educators, our lives revolve around our kids. That isn’t a bad thing… unless we get lost along the way. Michelle DeKeyser helps moms find their way. One of the things I love about this episode is the realization Michelle shares about how her son is benefitting from her realizing her genius. Be sure to listen, subscribe, and share!
