Happy Monday Ex-homies…

I’ve got a favor to ask, go vote for the podcast over on The Pod Radar. Every week, they compile a list of new podcasts for people to check out and vote on their favorites. So if you’ve got a few minutes I’d appreciate you going over and engaging with our page.

On the last episode…

This week on The Ex-Homeschoolers Club, I sat down with Robin to talk about what happens when homeschooling leaves the house and hits the open road. From living full-time in an RV to navigating dyslexia, autism, and emotional regulation, Robin shares what homeschooling really looked like when flexibility became non-negotiable.

In this episode, we covered:

• Why a rotating pilot schedule led to homeschooling

• What RV life teaches you about flexibility and learning styles

• Recognizing and supporting dyslexia and neurodivergence

• Regulation tools that helped everyone survive small-space living

• Why understanding how kids learn matters more than the curriculum

If you want a real-world look at homeschooling beyond the Pinterest boards, this episode is for you.

What I’m reading…

If you want to keep up with my current reads, follow me over on Fable. I track all my reads and even leave some book reviews from time to time.

What I'm Watching…

I finally broke down and started watching Shiny Happy People. Season 1 is a deep dive into the Dugger Family and the Institute in Basic Life Principles and it is a tough watch.

While most of the things in the show, seem to be religion at an extreme level, I watch this and can’t help but to relate to the purity culture, the authority complex, and wielding the bible as a weapon to benefit myself. It has me questioning, “Did I grow up in a cult?”

Until next time…

Have a wonderful week with peace and love,
