Mama Walks With Jesus :Daily Encouragement for living out real faith in motherhood.

What would make a mom homeschool just one of her kids—while the rest stay in school? In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with the amazing mama Shari Stamps . Founder of Navigating Parenthood. She’s not only deeply certified in areas like cranial sacral therapy and motherhood support, but she followed her heart when her son with learning disabilities needed something different. We have a real life chat about what led her to this choice, how their days really look while running a business and what she's learning along the way. Oh yes , and she did this interview while bouncing her little newborn on her lap as we chatted ! ( You might hear the cutest little noises from her little one as she chats). If you’ve ever wondered if you could make a brave decision for just one of your kids, this one’s for you, Mama.

In this fun and refreshingly honest episode, I sit down with a fellow mama Samantha Cook who once thought homeschoolers were a little... different. Fast forward to today — she’s running two businesses with her husband, both working full time, and homeschooling their littles (yes, preschool and kindergarten age!). We chat about what changed her mind, how they make homeschooling work with a packed schedule, and how they chose a curriculum that fits their lifestyle. There’s laughter, real talk, and a peek into the beautiful chaos of our homeschool days. Spoiler alert: no two days look the same — and that’s okay.
