SUMMARY
Are you overwhelmed by overflowing bookshelves, a cluttered calendar, and the pressure to “do it all” in your homeschool? You’re not alone—when you’re balancing so much, it doesn’t take much to feel stretched thin. In this episode, Christy-Faith opens up about shiny object syndrome, curriculum overload, and the quiet guilt that creeps in when homeschooling starts to feel more like a burden than a joy.
We’ll talk about the pressure to be everything for everyone, why more isn’t always better, and how to gently declutter your homeschool with confidence. More importantly, we’ll explore how to protect your peace, reconnect with your why, and focus on the things that matter most—for your kids and for you.
