**Top 10% Globally Ranked Podcast** Do you wish you could balance work, homeschooling, and being present with your family? Do you wish you could confidently address overwhelm and decision paralysis? Do you need a daily, weekly, monthly plan that is simple, yet effective in managing all the different areas of your life? I'm so glad you are here! This podcast is going to help you create a plan for more presence in your real life while you balance work and homeschool. You will learn how to overcome overwhelm and become confident in your ability to homeschool while working too. Hi there! I am Courtney, Daughter of the King, mom of 4, and wife to my college sweetheart. I’ve been balancing working, outside of the home and from home, while homeschooling for the last 9 years. As a working mom of four, I am pulled in so many directions at all times which used to feel overwhelming, disjointed, and difficult to focus on my family. I felt like I could never be fully present or able to focus on whatever task I had in front of me whether it was homeschool or work. I soon recognized that something needed to change so that I could enjoy homeschool and my family while keeping work in its lane too. I had a set vision for my homeschool that included flexibility and a peaceful home so I knew it was time to make changes. I created plans that truly fit my real life as a busy mom of many—simple, sustainable, and easy to follow. These routines allow my mind to focus on what really matters. I’m excited to share ways to balance work and homeschool with you. If you are ready to be present with your family, confident in your homeschool, and manage your daily life with peace and balance, this podcast is for you! Pour yourself a cup of tea, stack those books on the table, and let’s get to work. ❤️ Weekly encouragement and tips can be found through my podcast and by subscribing to my newsletter here !
