homeroom is an international podcast bridging the education gap between the classroom and the living room by starting conversations impacting the next generation. In this episode, I speak with Phyllis, a personal branding strategist, writer, and coach about her young adulthood, first marriage, as well as her parenting journey of raising and homeschooling a teenage daughter. She shares about some of the challenging experiences she lived through as a young woman struggling with her worth, as well as what she had to learn in order to learn that she was enough. We also discuss her thoughts and hopes about the future of how we educate our young people. I’d like to warn and mention that this conversation contains potentially triggering content, including mentions of abuse and sexual assault, and also curse words.
