• Trusting My Gut: Why Disney Didn’t Feel Right for My Toddler
    Sep 22 2025

    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.

  • Multi-Generational Mindset in Education and Money - Why Homeschooling is the New Wealth
    Sep 14 2025

    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.

  • When Doubt Shows Up - Talking About Homeschooling With Others and With Yourself
    Sep 7 2025

    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.

  • When You Feel Like You’re Failing in Homeschool - Feeling Stressed when You Don't Have To
    Aug 24 2025

    What if the moments you feel like you’re failing your child are actually the most sacred part of homeschooling? In this episode of Intuitive Homeschool, we explore how devotion—not perfection—shapes the heart of learning at home.

    You’ll hear why messy days aren’t proof you’re doing it wrong, but living lessons in presence, nervous system regulation, and emotional resilience. Through research, reflection, and soul-centered practices, we’ll uncover how children don’t need flawless teaching—they need to see us return, repair, and keep choosing love.

    This conversation blends psychology (perfectionism and parenting stress), science (Polyvagal Theory and co-regulation), and soul wisdom (why devotion is found in the return). By the end, you’ll carry a gentler perspective: your devotion is enough, even in the cracks.

    🌿 Keywords woven in: soul-led homeschooling, conscious parenting, nervous system regulation, intuitive learning, emotional alchemy, devotion not perfection.

    Aug 17 2025

    As parents, our decisions often start in the mind — weighing pros and cons, imagining outcomes, and trying to choose the “best” for our children. But what if true alignment begins in the body? In this episode of Light Body Homeschool, I share a real-life story of being pulled between two good choices and how listening to my body’s signals over my mind’s justifications shifted everything. We’ll explore the science of intuition, why interoception is essential for emotional intelligence, and how you can model embodied decision-making so your children grow up trusting their inner compass.

  • Teaching Without Talking - How Children Learn Through Energy, Observation, and Environment
    Aug 9 2025

    What if the most powerful lessons your child ever learned weren’t from what you said… but from how you lived?

    In this episode of Light Body Homeschool, we explore the science and soul of learning through energy, observation, and environment. From mirror neurons and polyvagal theory to the role of the home as the “third teacher,” you’ll discover how children absorb unspoken lessons from the way we handle stress, resolve conflict, and show up in community.

    We’ll talk about:

    • Why conflict in the home is healthy when it’s modeled with respect and repair
    • How heightened neuroplasticity in parenthood makes this a prime time for personal growth
    • Why “small” stresses often point to deeper, soul-level invitations to heal
    • The subtle ways your environment teaches independence, care, and empathy
    • How modeling across all ages—early years to teens—shapes lifelong values

    You’ll leave this conversation with gentle reflection prompts and practical ways to align your energy with the values you want to pass on—without adding more to your to-do list.

  • The Rhythm Works for Our Family; Flow Over Force in Homeschooling
    Aug 3 2025

    What if rhythm is more than a routine—what if it’s the soul’s way of feeling safe enough to learn?

    In this episode of Intuitive Homeschool, Rae reflects on how rhythm—more than force or structure—supports the nervous system, fosters deep learning, and restores presence across all ages. Blending gentle storytelling with trauma-informed research and energetic insight, she explores how daily flow becomes a healing container for both the child and the parent.

    Whether you’re homeschooling a toddler or walking with a teenager, this episode offers resonance, not rules—inviting you to rediscover the sacred pulse of your day.

    You’ll hear:

    • How rhythm supports emotional safety and self-regulation (Bruce Perry, Polyvagal Theory)
    • Why children resist rigid structure—and how rhythm rebuilds trust
    • The spiritual power of rhythm across Steiner, Waldorf, and ancestral wisdom
    • Real-life reflections on creating sustainable daily flow
    • Questions to help you tune into your family’s unique rhythm

    This episode is a soft invitation to move at the pace of the soul—not the schedule.
