February 12, 2023February 5, 2023 by Realizing Genius

In order to make our genius “real,” we need to be able to communicate it to others. Usually, this requires us to be able to speak and or write about it. Kathy Mellor is all about communication. In her business, Unleashing Your Voice, she helps parents and students communicate more effectively. Kathy and I met through the Leadership Education Mentoring Institute; she was my mentor for years.

Carrie De Francisco – Homeschooling Outside of the Box

January 22, 2023 by Realizing Genius

Too often in life, we get caught up in the things we have to check off. The boxes we have to fill. My chat with Carrie De Francisco, the host of the popular podcast “Coffee with Carrie Homeschool Help,” was so much fun! We talked about the joy that can be had when we stop limiting ourselves, our kids, and our homeschool experience if we are willing to step outside the box society so often puts us in. We could have talked for hours! Carrie is a fantastic woman with so much wisdom to share. I know you will really enjoy this episode!

Jim Hodges – Genius Realized – Success with Audiobooks

February 12, 2023December 12, 2022 by Realizing Genius

I fell in love with audiobooks early on in our homeschooling journey. They provided me with a much-needed break. Every day at lunch, we would put an audiotape in the boombox (yes, I’ve been doing it that long), and Mommy wouldn’t have to talk for an hour. It was a sanity saver!

My conversation with Jim was so much fun! I love what he does and how he supports the homeschooling community, but I also love his example. He is realizing his genius!
