Ep. 92 - Behind the Screen: Part 1/6 - A Real Homeschool Day at My House (nobody's winning awards)
Description
If you’ve ever looked at another homeschool mom online and thought, “She must have it all together,” this episode will feel like a deep breath.
Christy-Faith opens up about the real parts of her life: the mess, the fear, the mistakes, the burnout and why she can’t keep showing up as a two-dimensional version of herself. This is the start of her Behind the Screen series, where she shares what’s true, not just what fits in a 30-second clip. This is Part 1 of a 6 part series.
