Have you ever had that incredible experience of meeting someone and feeling an instant, undeniable connection? It’s as if you can sense their authenticity, passion, love, and genuine care from the moment you start talking to them. Well, that’s exactly who Carrie De Francisco is. Before I dive into our conversation on this episode, I urge you to visit her website, “Coffee with Carrie.” There, you’ll discover her podcast, store, book, and a treasure trove of other content!
Now, let’s get back to the main topic. When I initially got to know Carrie, I had no idea that she was deeply involved in a homeschool co-op for a significant period of time. What both Carrie and I strongly believe in is the profound importance of community within the homeschooling journey. And the reasons behind our emphasis on community might not be what you expect!

NEW! Realizing Genius Connections – Books and Beyond!
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.

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!
