Between putting out fires, constant interruptions, and legitimately more time needs than there are hours in the day it can feel like there's too much to do and not enough of you.
I need to get better at time management! is one of the most common complaints I hear from homeschooling mamas, but they never know where to start...because everything feels so painful.
Which is why I've taken the most common time management mistakes I see and boiled them down into the five most problematic areas of time management, so that you can figure out exactly where you need to start.

Because the thought, there’s not enough time, is one of the biggest MYTHS you are likely believing…

In fact, that thought is actually covering up a different, bigger concern that you don’t even know is in your brain.
So, in today’s episode, I’m going to shed some much needed light into this dark area of anxiety and frustration that every homeschool mom I know struggles with, so you don't stay stuck there any longer.

Some of my worst homeschooling days have been the ones where I have lost my peace over every little thing.
Like repeating myself for the nth time, being interrupted left and ride, and feeling like we were never going to finish an entire day's plan within one school day.
On my worst days I have felt overwhelmed, angry, inadequate...and deeply believing that I was ruining my kids.
And in today's episode of the Happy, Holy Mama Podcast, I share with you the one thing that shifted everything for me and my family...and how you can do it, too, today.

You might be a homeschooler who doesn’t like to look too far ahead into the future, because it feels overwhelming to plan more than a few weeks in advance.
If that’s the case, then, unfortunately, you might also be someone who struggles at the end of the year if you don’t up where you had hoped to in May.
That’s because when you don’t think about what you want the end result to look like, then:
You won’t know how to get there and
You won’t know when you’ve arrived.
So spending time at the beginning of a new school year thinking about what you want the end of the year to look like is a highly valuable use of your time!
Because when you know what you want it to look like at the end, then you’ll be able to break down the steps to get there, which will help you know what to do today.
Which means you’ll waste less time, be less overwhelmed in the long run, and have a more productive school year!
In today’s episode of the Happy, Holy Mama Podcast, I’ll walk you through why you want to define your goals, the steps to define your goals, and the mindset it takes to reach them.

If you've ever spent the Sunday morning drive to mass dreading other people seeing your hot mess family and fuming that you're running late, you have probably tried to fake-it-til-you-made-it as you arrived.
Likely to find that it didn't last long, because it just doesn't feel genuine and takes a significant amount of energy, that you probably just didn't have left.
In today's episode, I'm going to share with you the difference between the fake-it-til-you-make-it mindset and the Acting As If mindset and why Acting As If will be one of the fastest ways to start making internal change.

Too many mamas get stuck in runaway train type thinking that sounds so true that you often don't question it.
I also often see too many well meaning friends try to combat that thinking by disagreeing with it entirely, which doesn't always feel right to you, if those thoughts have a smidge of truth in them.
Thoughts like:
I can't do this.
I am no good at this.
I am ruining them.
They would be better off in school.
And others.
These thoughts feel so rotten, because they sound so, so true.
They FEEL so, so true.
And it's honestly not useful to argue with them in order to change them.
But I don't want you living under the weight of those thoughts any longer, either, because they're are what are keeping you disconnected, frustrated, and unhappy!
That's why, in today's podcast episode, I share with you the ways I prefer to respond to those thoughts that is rooted in an even bigger, deeper truth.
Borrow these new thoughts that I offer you whenever you get stuck in that Scarcity Mindset in the future and come back to listen to this episode as often as you need it!

We all have a money story.
For some of us it's a story of pain and deprivation and scarcity.
For some of us it's different. Easier, lighter, and less fear around money.
Regardless of what your history with money is, what you tell yourself about it now, is absolutely impacting your money decisions.
And my guest on this week's podcast episode wants to tell you how to start changing your story, have more financial freedom, and teach your kids how to create their own story, starting in your homeschool.

How do you handle failure? Have you ever clarified what that looks like for yourself?
I'm guessing probably not! Well, the problem with not knowing the specifics of HOW you do something is that then you don't know what to do DIFFERENTLY.
That's exactly what I'm talking about in today's podcast episode!
I'm going to walk you through a short exercise I led the Happy, Holy Mama Members through during Planning Week 2024 to unpack the feeling of "failure" and gave them a process for how they could handle it better.

Or at least on the verge of burnout.
In today's episode I dive into some of the reasons you are, or have been, burnt out, most of which boil down to you trying to do a job that doesn't belong to you.

When she first reached out to begin coaching, Michaela just wanted to stop yelling and get more organized.
In this week's episode of the Happy, Holy Mama Podcast, Micheala and I walk through how coaching helped her reach those intial goals, and also how it helped her through some of the trials she's experienced over the last few years while she was working toward them.
Like giving birth to her sixth child just a couple of months after her mother passed away, and how coaching supported her, and continues to support her, to the point to where she's now thriving!
Michaela so beautifully shares what's been the most beneficial for her to learn and her favorite coaching tools that she practices still that help her maintain her progress, which she hopes will serve you, too!
Finally, Michaela shares some of the more surprising results of this work that she's had through some of these intensely hard moments. Results that happen for my clients more often than not after we work together and that you might be interested to hear.

This week’s episode truly feels like going on a Catholic homeschooling retreat!
My client Robin, Happy, Holy Mama of 4, joins me on the podcast this week and, oh my, what a wealth of wisdom and goodness she is!
Robin shares her story that did not start out as a homeschool journey, but that once God called her family to homeschooling, it’s been a source of growth and learning, not just for her kids, but for her as well.
She generously shares about her struggles with dyslexic children, fighting a scarcity mindset of not feeling adequate for the job of teaching her own children, and how God brings her back to the path He wants her on over and over again through our work together.
Join us today and take a deep, relaxing breath as Robin describes the incredible joy and goodness that homeschooling can be, even through trials.

Worried about your homeschooled kids losing their knowledge or skills during the summer?

If you're looking at making some decisions about whether or not to do some school work over the summer, then I'd like to invite you to spend a little time with me in today's podcast episode where I'll walk you through a different way to think about it, so you're making that decision with clarity instead of worry.
I'll also walk you through the steps to take to avoid the summer slip, if you decide to do some school, so you can keep making progress toward educational goals and still take a much needed summer break!

One of the most infuriating things moms go through is trying to problem solve without knowing what the actual problem is or what to work on.
This is even more challenging and frustrating when there's an internal issue that you're unaware of and so it feels like nothing you do works.
In today's podcast episode I talk a little about my own experience before I made some significant changes and how homeschooling, though it was an answer to God's call for our family, didn't magically solve my problems.
I explain what I learned over years of trial and error that I now each my clients how to do faster with life coaching tools so that you can work on the areas you need to work on and implement solutions that are right for you...not just what worked for me.
In today's episode I'll walk you through the top three areas to work on to drastically improve your homeschool experience and share with you the eight essentials I teach my clients to help them have the biggest transformations with the fastest results.
Results like feeling calmer, connecting more, not absorbing other people's emotions, and stewarding the precious time God gives them, better.
All of which help you have more awareness of what's going on and problem solve at a higher level, to serve God better, through your family.
Grab your earbuds and listen to dive into: What to Work on to Drastically Improve Your Homeschool Experience.And because I believe so deeply that these eight essentials tools, concepts, and skills can help you, too, I put my best teachings into a brand new digital course to help you get started with the work I do, in this struggling economy.
