150. Homeschool Families and Professional Support: Knowing When to Ask for Help

Published 2 months ago

Description

You've wondered it. Most homeschool moms have.

Is what I'm doing enough? Or does my child need something I can't give them?

In this episode, I'm joined by Kimberly Bennett — Licensed Professional Counselor, homeschooling mom, and founder of the Homeschool Counseling Network — to talk honestly about when outside professional support makes sense, what to look for in a provider, and why finding someone who actually understands homeschooling changes everything.

Whether you're navigating learning differences, emotional struggles, health needs, or just a season that feels bigger than you can handle alone — this conversation will help you know what to look for and where to find it.

This isn't a scary conversation. It's a relief.
