The Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms – Episode 65
About the Episode
On today’s episode of the Strike a Balance Podcast for Working Homeschool Moms, I talk to homeschool veteran of 30+ years, Michele Holmes. Michele helps homeschooling parents take on the high school years with confidence!
The training and tools she provides through her company Homeschool Directive are the result of years of experience both homeschooling each of her 8 children through high school and coaching hundreds of parents of teens through the homeschool co-op she created and ran for over 20 years.
Michele and her husband Ed live in Northern Illinois but love traveling to visit their 12 grandkids.
I learnt so much from speaking to Michele! Homeschooling high school can be stressful, but she makes it seem much more manageable. I love that she advocates for not changing the way you homeschool high school, but rather adapting it to achieve your child’s graduation goals.
If you’re getting close to homeschooling a teen, or if you’re already in the middle/high school years, I highly recommend connecting with Michele. You can find her here:
