Peaceful Worldschooling Podcast - Episode 4: Homeschooling Conversations with Leah Stine

Welcome to the Peaceful Worldschooling Podcast - Episode 4!

Join me in this episode with special guest, Leah Stine. Leah is a long-time homeschooler, mom of three, author, and entrepreneur. Together, we dive into the nitty-gritty of homeschooling. We talk about the why behind our homeschooling, the balancing act, and the homeschooling style that works best for our families.

We also discuss some common concerns about homeschooling like socialization, missing out on prom, and "getting behind."

Leah also shares a bit about her book and her business as a writer that supports podcasters. Join us on the adventure of a lifetime - beginning with a conversation that can change the world!
