Don’t get me wrong. I know education is important. I took the time and money to get two master’s and a teaching credential! Education is my passion! But I find that sometimes what is really, really important in LIFE is not always taught in traditional school settings.
AND THAT IS WRONG!
Yes. I’m yelling. Understanding money and economics saves lives and relationships. It gives a person freedom. Money is a tool. And we need to teach our kids how to use it.

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.
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.

My interview with Kristin Clark was so enjoyable! We are kindred spirits when it comes to realizing the genius in others. I love how she uses the Clifton Strengths Test to help the students she works with create a vision for their future.
