Ep 385: A Mother’s Heart, a Founder’s Struggle: Navigating the Heartbreak and Hope of School Choices
For six years, I’ve poured my heart into building a microschool—creating a place of freedom, belonging, and personalized learning. My daughters were the reason I started this journey. And yet, today, neither of them are with us at our microschool.
In this episode, I open up about:
My daughter’s transition from a small, nurturing microschool environment into the overwhelm of middle school.
My other daughter’s leap from being “homegrown” in our microschool to navigating the struggles of public school—and what that has meant for our family.
The stress, meltdowns, and dysregulation kids face when systems don’t meet their needs.
My personal reflections as a mom and a school founder—what I would have done differently, and what I’m learning now.
This conversation isn’t just my story—it’s for every parent torn between options, every teacher leaving a broken system, and every microschool builder wondering if they’re enough. You’ll hear not just the heartbreak, but also the hope of finding the right support systems and building something better for our kids.
✨ You are not alone in this. Together, we’re navigating school choices with courage, conviction, and community.
