A Note From Your Podcast Host
Hi, my name is Jackie, and I’m the founder of HomeSchool ThinkTank.
Each Wednesday, I share an episode that’s all about homeschooling, but on Mondays, I share an episode that’s all about the way you think.
Every Monday, I share a short story from my life and a lesson that I’ve taken from a specific experience. I’m sharing these lessons with the intention of helping you reflect upon and improve your life.
Whether you’re a homeschooling parent or not, if you want to be more mindful of your thinking, you’ll want to tune into the Mindset Monday series on the HomeSchool ThinkTank Parenting Podcast. While I am speaking from the perspective of a homeschooling parent, in reality, anybody could benefit from these lessons about mindset.

Improving My Own Mindset
After homeschooling my kids for more than a decade, I decided to start HomeSchool ThinkTank. I quickly realized that if I wanted to succeed, I was going to need to toughen up. This led me on a path toward learning more about mindset. Now I realize that I didn’t necessarily need to toughen up but that I did need to improve my mindset.
Years later, I am absolutely obsessed with how people think. When a person improves their mindset, so much more is possible in life!
While I started learning more about mindset for business, I’ve found that what I have learned has made me a better mother, wife, human, and simply a BETTER ME!
As a result, I’m taking what I’ve learned so that I can help others improve their lives too.

Life Coaching for Homeschool Parents
I am currently working on earning my certification in life coaching through Brooke Castillo’s The Life Coach School. During this time frame, I am offering a limited number of complimentary sessions each week.
I genuinely believe that improving your mindset and becoming aware of the way you think is one of the best ways to become a better parent.
While I specialize in helping homeschool parents, these coaching sessions are currently open to anyone.

Why Mindset On a Homeschooling & Parenting Podcast?
You might be wondering, “Why are you talking about mindset on a homeschooling and parenting podcast and website?”
You see, I believe that YOUR mindset is one of the most important parts of parenting. I think it might even be THE most important part of parenting.
However, I’ve wondered what my followers would think of me talking about mindset on the HomeSchool ThinkTank Parenting Podcast and website.
I’m afraid that you might even think, “What does this have to do with homeschooling?”
My thought is, “Everything! Your mindset has everything to do with homeschooling your kids.”
Your Thinking Matters
To my core, I believe that your thinking matters.
Over the past few years, I’ve gone out of my way to improve my thinking and mindset. While I began doing this to become a better leader for HomeSchool ThinkTank, I’ve found that the skills I’ve learned have value in every aspect of my life.
I believe that as homeschooling parents, our thinking has a tremendous impact on our families.
In my Mindset Monday’s series on the HomeSchool ThinkTank Parenting Podcast, I share what’s helped me the most.
I hope that you’ll not only benefit from what you begin learning here, but I also hope that you’ll begin teaching your kids these concepts too. I think that these principles are some of the most important ideas that a parent can teach a child.

The HomeSchool ThinkTank Parenting Podcast is listened to by parents around the world. You can follow the podcast in a variety of places.
Changing Your Mindset Can Change Your Life
I’ve started sharing a weekly episode about your thinking on the HomeSchool ThinkTank Parenting Podcast because I’ve seen the difference that improving and managing MY mindset has made in my own life.
As a result, I believe that YOUR thinking as a homeschooling parent can make a tremendous difference in whether you succeed in homeschooling and continue to homeschool your children for years to come.
In an effort to serve other homeschooling parents, I share two podcasts every week.
Each Monday, I bring you a story or message that I hope will inspire you to think about YOUR own mindset and the impact that your thinking has on your family and those around you.
How to Live Your Life with Purpose & Excitement
This video was live-streamed several years ago. I had recently started HomeSchool ThinkTank and was “on fire!” Hopefully, you’ll find this episode to be inspirational!
Mindset Mondays to Inspire You
I hope that these episodes will help you become more aware of your thinking and the impact your mindset has on you and your family.
This is a path that I have been on for several years now. I hope that you will join me on this journey and that we can improve our minds together.
Take these lessons, apply them, and see how your mind can transform your life.
May each Mindset Monday episode inspire you to make a positive step toward your future.
