A Note From Your Podcast Host

Hi! I’m Jackie and I want to help you take your homeschooling family to the next level. I’ve been a homeschooling parent for over a decade and now I’m guiding homeschool families through this lifestyle. I’m taking all that I’ve learned and continue to learn to help parents homeschool their children with more clarity.

In addition to being a homeschooling parent and former physical education teacher, I’m also the author of THINK HOMESCHOOL: Live & Learn Your Way, the founder of HomeSchool ThinkTank, and the host of the HomeSchool ThinkTank Parenting Podcast.

The HomeSchool ThinkTank Parenting Podcast

My podcast, the HomeSchool ThinkTank Parenting Podcast, is listened to by parents around the world.

I love guiding homeschooling parents, just like you, through my podcast. One thing you should know about me is that I believe that your mindset is the most important part of being a homeschooling parent.  The way you think has a tremendous impact on your family.  That is why I share a podcast about mindset each and every week.

On Monday’s our episode is all about mindset, while on Wednesdays our episodes are about homeschooling and parenting.

If you’re like me and love learning about mindset, then you can learn more about our Mindset Monday episodes of the HomeSchool ThinkTank Parenting Podcast here.

My Philosophy About Homeschooling

A Note From Jackie.

In one of my podcast episodes, I share my philosophy around homeschooling.  I believe that connection should come first, then community, then education. 

You might be thinking: “Isn’t homeschooling about education first?”  My answer is, “No.” 

Homeschooling is about your family first, then your community, then education.  I also believe that education comes in many different forms. In addition, school is not synonymous with education. 

Education is about learning, not about school.

I encourage you to listen to this episode about my homeschooling philosophy.  Feel free to adopt my philosophy or to create your own. Either way, having your own philosophy of homeschooling can transform the way that you approach homeschooling your children.

From a Struggling Homeschool Mom to an Empowered Homeschool Mom

All of us have faced challenges in life, and I am no different. While homeschooling has always gone fairly smoothly with our oldest daughter, it’s been a challenge with our youngest. 

At one point, homeschooling our youngest was so challenging that we had to do something different.  Our mother-daughter relationship was strained and we needed to make some changes. We enrolled her in a small private school for a year and a half.  That was a good choice because with the help of an excellent therapist, we were able to disrupt negative patterns and overcome many of our challenges. Today, we have a much better relationship, and my youngest daughter is homeschooling again.

As for our oldest daughter, she is a recent homeschool graduate. She’s already taken many classes through our local community college and is well on her way to earning her associates degree. We’re approaching big changes in our lives as she prepares to leave home and pursue her young adult life in the next year.

As we reach the tail-end of our homeschooling journey, I can look back and reflect on my family’s journey and use those experiences to help guide your homeschooling family. 

So how did I go from being a struggling homeschool mom to an empowered homeschool mom? I changed the way I think.

As a result of changing my thinking and actions, I am influencing my family in a tremendous way. This is why I firmly believe that the way you think is the most important component to helping your homeschool family find joy & success in this lifestyle.

HomeSchool ThinkTank Parenting Podcast & Community

Through the HomeSchool ThinkTank Parenting Podcast, we share expert interviews, information, education, mindset strategies, and inspiration that homeschool families need.

In addition, we’re taking this one step further and building a community of homeschool families around our podcast.

Join me each week as I share the nearly secret strategies that veteran homeschoolers use to homeschool their children for years on end.  I will guide you down the path toward a more peaceful and fun-filled education journey with your kids.

Warning: If You’ve Been Doing School At Home…

Regardless of what you call this lifestyle, be forewarned: if you’ve been doing online public school at home during the pandemic, this podcast might leave you wanting to become a true homeschooling family.

While the opportunity to homeschool your children is amazing, once you break free from the “school-at-home” mindset, you’ll begin to discover a whole new world of educational opportunities for your family. 

Come along and join us on the journey of a lifetime.  Leave the school mindset behind and focus on connections that matter, community, and helping your children develop a true love of learning.

Why I Love Podcasts

As a homeschooling mom, I find that listening to podcasts are the easiest way for me to learn new things & get a little bit of daily inspiration.

Personally, I listen to podcasts every single day. My favorite time to listen is in the morning while I’m getting ready for the day.  I also listen to podcasts as I’m loading the dishwasher, folding the laundry, or even taking a walk.

If you don’t know what a podcast is, it’s like listening to your favorite radio show whenever you want. It’s on-demand listening.

If you are using an android or another mobile device that isn’t Apple, then go to Spotify to start listening.
