✨Advice from a Homeschool Grad Turned Homeschool Mom

About this episode

In this episode, Kathryn Fogleman-White shares her experiences as a homeschool graduate and now a homeschooling mom, discussing the challenges and values she embraces in her family life.

✨Wondering what homeschooled kids really think once they grow up? In this vulnerable and wisdom-rich episode, I sit down with Kathryn Fogleman-White - a homeschool alumna, certified life coach, author, and now homeschooling mom - oh and the eldest daughter of the incredible Dawnita Fogleman from our first episode. Kathryn grew up the oldest of six on an rural Oklahoma farm. School looked like rich literature, dog training, farm chores, budget spreadsheets, and finishing math before lunch. But it wasn’t all dreamy freedom—she also wrestled with parentification, self-neglect, and the cost of growing up too fast. Now raising a daughter of her own, Kathryn shares what she’s keeping, what she’s changing, and how she’s building a family life around values like financial freedom, flexibility, and honest connection. If you’re wondering how homeschooled kids turn out — this one’s for you. 🖋️Connect with Kathryn on her website and X .
