Episode Summary

What happens when homeschool moms stop apologizing and start owning their freedom?

In this lighthearted yet powerful episode, Christy-Faith ushers listeners into the “We Do Not Care Club,” a mindset revolution that’s sweeping through the homeschool world. Inspired by a viral social media video, Christy unpacks five things homeschool moms just don’t care about anymore, from traditional educational standards to the pressure of fitting in, and why this freedom is key to thriving as both a parent and educator.

With humor and heartfelt honesty, she explains that homeschooling isn’t about recreating a better version of school, it’s about creating something entirely different. From the myth of “weird” kids to the illusion of neutral worldviews, Christy empowers moms to release expectations, trust their intuition, and lead their families with joy and conviction.

This episode is equal parts funny and freeing, a reminder that homeschooling isn’t about proving anything. It’s about peace, purpose, and the courage to live differently.

Key Takeaways

• Homeschooling isn’t a “better school,” it’s a different paradigm built on freedom and family values.
• Socialization myths miss the point: real connection happens in the real world, not confined classrooms.
• Every education system teaches a worldview; the difference is that homeschoolers are honest about theirs.
• Academic “standards” are relics of the Industrial Age. Today’s kids need creativity and adaptability, not conformity.
• Kids aren’t missing out by homeschooling; they’re gaining a life of curiosity, confidence, and authentic growth.
• Choosing a different path isn’t rebellion; it’s discernment.

Why This Matters

Many moms carry the invisible weight of other people’s opinions, whether it’s from relatives, neighbors, or the school system itself. This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to justify your choice to homeschool.

As Christy-Faith shares:

“We’re not running away. We’re running towards something better, a life of purpose, intention, and truth. So if you ever feel like the odd one out, take heart. You’re not alone.”

When moms let go of guilt, comparison, and fear, homeschooling becomes what it was always meant to be: a joyful, faith-filled lifestyle of learning, laughter, and purpose.

Practical First Steps

Identify what you’re done caring about. Write down the pressures or expectations that no longer serve you.
Reframe “weird.” Celebrate your child’s uniqueness; it’s what will make them stand out and lead later.
Stop comparing. Your homeschool doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s to be successful.
Prioritize mindset over metrics. Replace “grade-level goals” with growth, curiosity, and character.
Find your tribe. Join communities like Thrive Homeschool Community where encouragement replaces judgment.

“Did you know that the public school system has a worldview? It does. It’s secular humanism. So while you’re pointing fingers at us for indoctrinating our kids, I wanna be very clear. The public school system is doing the exact same thing.” – Christy-Faith
