#94: How to Set the Right Priorities for Your Homeschool Year

Season #2

Have you ever started the school year with the perfect plans, only to feel like it all slips through your fingers a few weeks in? The problem isn’t always your schedule or your curriculum—it’s often the quiet story you’re telling yourself about who you are.

In this episode, Julie unpacks how shifting your identity and vision can completely transform the way you homeschool. Instead of being driven by “shoulds” or weighed down by comparison, you’ll discover how to root yourself in what matters most and move forward with clarity and confidence.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode

  • How changing the story you tell yourself about who you are opens the door to lasting peace in your homeschool.

  • Why setting priorities isn’t about doing more—it’s about choosing what matters most and letting the rest go.

  • The surprising way resistance reveals that your “why” might not be aligned with your true desires.

  • How releasing rigid expectations gives you freedom to build a homeschool life that feels joyful and authentic.

  • Why adding fun and memory-making moments is just as important as academics—and how they shape the culture of your home.

This conversation isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about stepping into your true identity, creating a vision rooted in joy, and building a homeschool life that feels spacious, meaningful, and life-giving.
