What happens when a homeschooled girl grows up to become a homeschooling mom? In this deeply inspiring episode, we talk with Amanda Schenkenberger—author, speaker, and homeschool mentor—about her full-circle journey from being raised on a ranch by a deaf father to creating peaceful, flexible homeschool routines for her own kids.
Amanda opens up about:
Growing up in a unique household and how her upbringing shaped her resilience
Transitioning from rigid homeschool curricula to a Charlotte Mason-inspired, wonder-filled approach
Battling self-doubt, emotional burnout, and the isolation that many homeschooling parents silently face
Her practical tools for calm, like the “traffic light brain” method from her book Overwhelmed: A Homeschool Mom’s Rescue Plan for Peaceful Routines
You’ll hear raw, relatable stories of perseverance, parenting, and how trusting your motherly intuition can create not just educational success—but a thriving, joyful family dynamic.
✅ Whether you're new to homeschooling, a seasoned mom feeling stuck, or just curious about alternative education paths, Amanda's story offers hope, strategy, and inspiration.
