How to Homeschool Through Grief and Overwhelm: Insights from Brandee Gillham

Have you ever wondered how to keep homeschooling going when life feels overwhelming, or when grief rocks your world? In this heartfelt episode of The Colorado Homeschool Podcast, “How to Homeschool Through Grief and Overwhelm: Insights from Brandee Gillham,” host Kashia Davis sits down with Brandee Gillham—a fourth-generation rancher, former collegiate anatomy instructor, homeschool mom of four boys (one of whom is in heaven), and the Rocky Mountain Homeschool Conference coordinator.

Brandee opens up about her journey from teaching college anatomy to embracing the beauty (and chaos) of homeschooling on her family’s generational cattle ranch, all while navigating seasons of personal loss and unexpected hardship. Listen as she shares practical, faith-centered strategies for coping with overwhelm, balancing routines with flexibility, and integrating family discipleship into the homeschool day. With stories of resilience, real-life tips on handling grief in homeschooling, and wisdom gained from walking through cancer, loss, and everyday parenting challenges, Brandee brings both encouragement and actionable advice for homeschool families in all seasons.

Whether you’re feeling burnt out, facing major trials, or simply wondering how to create a Christ-centered home environment, this episode will inspire you to invest in your children intentionally—even when circumstances feel impossible.
