124 In This Together

AMDG. Kolbe academic advisors and homeschooling mothers Krysten Pizzurro, Karen Allgood, and Erica Treat had so much wisdom to share that we turned our conversation into a two-parter of episodes.  In the first half, they talk about how Kolbe’s academic advising department is here for the duration to accompany families and what that looks like on a day-to-day basis.  The ladies share their experience of taking work phone calls while toddlers live their best lives in the background, respond to the frequently-heard concern of parents that they aren’t patient enough to homeschool their own children, and encourage communication early and often.  They also bring words of affirmation: give yourself permission to do what’s best for your family.

Listen in next week for the second episode in the series, where Krysten, Karen, and Erica answer listener questions and continue the conversation on how to find the balance of comfort zone and growth in homeschoooling.

Krysten refers to Jon and Chris Bates, who are featured on episode 31 Veteran Homeschoolers and 83 This Is Only a Test. Chris also appears on episode 47 Among the Pots and Pans.
