Ready to level up your homeschool mom relationships, create stronger, more supportive connections, and build a community where you feel seen & heard?
Curiously, this work begins with you: leveling up relationships requires work of the interior, your interior. It isn't other people that need to show up for you first; rather, it's YOU that need to show up for you.
Inner work is required to build stronger relationships. Though who you invite into your world matters, it is WHO you are that most deeply influences how you experience relationships, how satisfied you are in relationships, and how likely you'll feel seen, heard, and accepted too.
So join me for a discussion to level up your homeschool mom relationships.
What relationships might a homeschool mom want to level up?
Homeschool moms are likely to be independent, intelligent, resourceful mothers, I've met you, but every human needs connected relationships and community.
Humans are happier when they exist in satisfying communities of relationships. That's why we want to level up your homeschool mom relationships.
Why do we need relationships anyway?
- Emotional support: Hard stuff happens in life and sometimes we need others for comfort and empathy.
- Companionship: It's more fun sharing the journey.
- Sense of belonging: It makes us feel connected. And since human beings are inherently social, relationships satisfy our need for connection and intimacy.
- Personal growth: Though this point doesn't sound exciting, interacting with others allows for learning, self-discovery, and understanding others' perspectives.
- Well-being: Healthy relationships contribute to reduced stress levels and increased happiness.
Ever wonder if your boundaries need some TLC? Consider these thoughts:
👉 Building boundaries isn't just about saying 'no.' It's about protecting your well-being, expressing self-respect, and fostering healthier connections.
👉 Do you feel that others are overstepping you?
👉 Boundaries mean clear communication, emotional health, and maintaining individuality.
👉 So do you find it challenging to allocate personal time or space away?
👉 Do you often feel overwhelmed by demands or expectations from your child, a partner, or an extended family member?
👉 Are there instances where you feel guilty or hesitant to assert your needs or your preferences in your homeschool routine or your life decisions?
👉 Do you often feel drained or exhausted after interactions or engagement with family members, friends, or homeschooling activities?
👉 Or do you spend too much time thinking about what other people think about your homeschool?
👉 You know that you want more time for yourself but you're not getting it.
There are many ways a boundary challenge might manifest:
👉 You answer the phone when you should be eyeball-to-eyeball with your kids.
👉 Do you recognize that you need more time spent on developing yourself but you're not sure how or where you can do that?
👉 Are you spending more time doing extracurriculars because people are asking you to participate, even though you want a quiet day at home?
👉 Do others notice you giving your time away to meaningful things, but not the most important things?
👉 Perhaps you are routinely fielding unsupportive questions from the same family members about your homeschool choice.
👉 Or you're feeling exhausted by conflict with your partner.
👉 Maybe you know you're not showing up as you'd like with your kids but you're not sure why.
👉 You're feeling guilty or ashamed at how you're showing up with your kids.
👉 Perhaps you're desperately want a separate space or time away from your kids.
👉Or you feel that your kids are mistreating you or disrespecting you, but you can't quite figure out if that is just them being kids.
👉 Maybe you feel unsupported and you don't think you can ask even the most important people in your life to help.
