When you think about homeschooling, what comes to mind? Socially awkward kids? Limited opportunities? Confusing college admissions?
In this lively, eye-opening Part 2 of our homeschooling conversation on Thrive by The Rising Muse, we’re back with Tam — a homeschooling veteran with over a decade of experience — to pull back the curtain on what it’s really like to educate your kids at home.
Picking up where we left off in Part 1, Tam dives even deeper into busting myths, sharing laugh-out-loud stories, and revealing surprising truths that will change how you see homeschooling forever.
We talk about:
- Why “socialization” isn’t the issue you think it is.
- How homeschoolers get into college (yes, there’s a system, and it works).
- The flexibility that makes real-world preparation possible.
- Creative, affordable curriculum options most parents don’t know about.
- The courage it takes to do things differently — and why it’s worth it.
Whether you’re a seasoned homeschool parent, just curious, or someone who’s been told “your child needs to be bullied to build character” (spoiler: we have thoughts on that), this episode will make you laugh, think, and maybe even reimagine what school can look like.
🎧 Listen to Part 2 now — and if you missed it, go back to catch Part 1 for the full conversation. You’ll walk away informed, inspired, and maybe even ready to start your own homeschooling journey.
