154: Homeschooling While Building a Business: My Real‑Life Schedule & Curriculum Choices

Joy Michelle

I’ve been getting lots of DMs lately asking: How do you homeschool your kids while growing a business? In today's episode, I peel back the curtain on my life as a 2nd generation homeschool mom, including the decisions, curriculums, schedule, and mindset I use so both my business and my kids can thrive. Since I grew up homeschooled, this path has always felt familiar, but now I’m doing it in a unique-to-me season, with a baby, young learners, client calls, and deadlines.

In This Episode You'll:

  1. How I chose which curriculum to use.
  2. What a week in our homeschool and business life actually looks like.
  3. How I juggle my role as teacher, business owner, mom.
