What does it look like to homeschool and run a bookstore, and lead a nonprofit?
In this episode, I sit down with Jordan Anderson, a homeschool mom of four from Wyoming who is also the owner of Blue Mountain Bookstore and the founder of Four Angels, a nonprofit supporting families who’ve experienced stillbirth and miscarriage.
Jordan’s story is raw, real, and encouraging. She shares how she navigated starting homeschool during COVID, returning to public school, and then coming back to homeschooling with a new sense of clarity and purpose.
You’ll hear:
* How Jordan balances homeschooling three grade levels while caring for a toddler
* The inspiring story of turning grief into impact through her nonprofit, Four Angels
* Practical ways she stays organized running a home, business, and homeschool
* Why books and everyday life are her favorite teaching tools
* Encouragement for moms who wonder if it’s possible to homeschool and chase their own dreams too
✨ Listen in and be reminded that your homeschool journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s—it just has to work for your family.
