About this episode
Let’s Chat About The Winter Homeschool Slump
It’s the winter homeschool slump. The holidays are long gone, spring still feels impossibly far away, and you’ve repeated your weekly homeschool routine approximately 25 times since September. You’ve done an estimated 125 loads of laundry. And somewhere in the middle of all of it — you stopped factoring yourself in.
In this episode, Teresa gets honest about what this season actually costs homeschool mamas — emotionally, physically, and practically. She talks about Seasonal Affective Disorder, the winter blues, the boredom few admit to, and the unrealistic expectations that make the slump hit harder than it needs to.
She also brings in the voices of real homeschool mamas sharing what actually helps them get through February — from mud walks and maple sugaring to chocolate stores, kitchen cooking lessons, and Perler beads.
And she introduces the free Homeschool Mama Mini-Retreat — a self-paced guided space to pause, breathe, and remember who you are beyond the role you play every day.
Whether you’re listening before or after the episode — this one is for the mama who’s doing everything for everyone else and quietly wondering when someone is going to show up for her.
