Welcome back to another episode of Home School with Steph. I love being able to interview different people and provide resources as well as share my own experience on today's episode. So today's episode is going to be for the mom who has ever sat at the table with her child and thought, why is this so hard? The tears, the resistance, the moments of I can't that are being said, what if it's not about the curriculum and what if it's not even about your child's ability to learn? Today, I'm talking with Sandra Flees, a sensory-based learning creator, homeschooling mom, and the heart behind Chasing Fireflies Learning. Sandra helps parents understand how their child learns through what they can see, hear, and feel, and how to support their nervous system so learning can actually stick, talking about emotional regulation, reducing resistance, and creating homeschool days that feel more calm, more connected, and more doable. So if you ever feel discouraged or stuck with homeschooling, stick around. This is the episode you're going to want to listen to.

Welcome back to Home School with Steph, the podcast where we remind you that you are capable, qualified, and not alone on your homeschooling journey. Today's conversation is for the mom who has looked at her child and thought, I know they're capable. What more can we do? Today, I'm sitting down with Mariam, the founder of My Tutoring Spot and MTS Collegiate Academy. I love her story. It didn't just start as a business, it started as a personal calling where she saw students who needed more support and help and figured out how to help them. Now she partners with families to help them through tutoring services, homeschool planning, and high school planning, including how to navigate those high school transcripts and college prep and the dual enrollment. Coming alongside parents, not replacing them. If you've ever wondered what it could look like to have someone in your corner as you homeschool, this episode is going to encourage you so much.

Hello and welcome back to another episode of homeschool Steph. I am so glad you're here today because I think you're going to love this conversation. It's going to encourage so many of you who are trying to balance motherhood business and homeschooling all at the same time. Today I am joined by Britnee. She is the owner of Papaya Sue boutique. She is also a hairdresser or hairstylist, I just found that out, and she's a mama. She's home with school through different seasons of life, and knows firsthand what it looks like to adapt, pivot and figure things out. As we go along, figure out what's best for our family and our kids as they grow and as life changes.+
