What if the stories we share in the first six years of life shape our children’s inner world far more than we realize?

In this episode of Intuitive Homeschool, I share why I’ve chosen to skip mainstream children’s media—Disney movies, high-drama shows, and early romance storylines—and how this decision came from following my intuition as a mother. I talk openly about the common Disney themes of parental loss, villains stealing power, and premature romance, and why I don’t want those to be the first archetypes my daughter carries in her imagination.

We’ll explore perspectives from Waldorf and Montessori education, research on early childhood development and screen time, and what science tells us about how stories affect a child’s subconscious mind. I also share what we do instead: gentle picture books, slow storytelling, and songs that nurture wonder and connection.

This conversation isn’t about judgment—it’s about re-imagining what childhood could look like in a world where we are more conscious of the stories we plant in our children’s hearts.

What if homeschooling is more than a choice for today—it’s a gift for your children’s children?

In this episode of Intuitive Homeschool, I share a story that began with an Instagram post about Jewish generational wealth. It sparked a conversation with my husband and opened a deeper reflection on why so many of us have lost the long-view mindset. For two generations or more, survival often left no room to think beyond today. But now—at a time of resources, technology, and possibility—we can return to thinking multi-generationally.

We’ll explore:
✨ How trauma and survival shaped short-term thinking in past generations
✨ Why homeschooling isn’t just about education—it’s about emotional, intellectual, and spiritual wealth passed down the line
✨ How re-framing money, resources, and creativity can shift us into legacy thinking
✨ The quiet, powerful way homeschooling families are already cultivating generational stability

This episode is part story, part reflection, and part invitation—to think of your daily choices as seeds you’re planting, not just for your children, but for your children’s children.

One of the hardest parts of homeschooling isn’t math lessons or finding curriculum—it’s the constant explaining. To family, to friends, and sometimes, to ourselves. In this episode of Intuitive Homeschool, I share what I’ve learned about navigating those conversations—both the outer ones with relatives who don’t understand, and the inner ones on the days doubt creeps in.

We’ll talk about the common questions homeschoolers face, the quiet doubts of full-time parents, the guilt that working parents carry, and even some research on how homeschoolers do in college (spoiler: they’re thriving).

This isn’t a how-to. It’s a heart-to-heart from one mom figuring it out, with reflections and stories to remind you that you’re not alone, and that presence matters more than perfection.
