My Homeschool Coach Story
When I started homeschooling my children, well over a decade ago, I could have used a homeschool coach. I don’t even think they existed then. In fact, back then, the field of life or mindset coaching was still quite an emerging field.
There were many times I felt so stuck, especially in the beginning. And so alone. So many, many, many times over the years. Sometimes to the point of tears.
You can read more about those tears in You’re Not Alone Mama.
When I started homeschooling my four children, I tried to recreate the classroom at home in those early months. That was a disaster. In time, I would learn that unschooling, worldschooling, and roadschooling my children was the PERFECT fit for my personality, for my children, and for my whole family. After all, a happy homeschooling mom makes for a kick a$s, no limits, happy family.
It took me working with my own business coach for my entrepreneurial adventures to learn more about the magic of coaching. The coaching experience for me was truly transformational.
I now coach others and help them get unstuck and transform their lives. And homeschool journeys.

What is a homeschool coach?
There are a lot of coaches out there these days, so let’s first dive into what a homeschool coach is and what a homeschooling coach isn’t.
A homeschool coach is someone who specializes in helping homeschooling parents, guardians, or families on their journey. Think life coach with a unique homeschool perspective. In short, a homeschool coach can help you get clear on your homeschool and personal goals, identify hurdles or obstacles standing in your way from success, and help you see your options or create strategies for success.
Ultimately, working with a homeschool coach can help you find greater joy and fulfillment in your day-to-day life as a homeschooling parent.
What Homeschooling Coaches Aren’t
Homeschooling coaches are trained professionals, typically by a combination of experience and education. However, there is no one-size-fits all rule or list of credentials for what makes a coach. Or a good one.
Additionally, coaches are not psychologists. Sure, some coaches are psychologists or have counseling backgrounds, too, but not all do. Accordingly, coaches focus on helping you identify your goals, obstacles, and options. They don’t diagnose or treat mental health issues.
I think of coaching as helping you get unstuck and get clear with your goals.
