About this episode

In this episode, Janae interviews Sherry Hayes, a mom of 15 and a homeschooling veteran, to discuss essential learning needs for children and the flaws in traditional education.

What if everything we've been told about education is wrong? In this episode, I sit down with a mom of 15 and a 37-year homeschool veteran to uncover what children actually need to learn—and what might be unnecessary. We talk about the four pillars of true education, the power of simple, effective tools like vintage curriculum, and how kids thrive when given time, freedom, and strong foundations. If you're questioning the school system or looking for a better way to educate your kids, this conversation will challenge and inspire you.
