131 - Did Homeschooling Work? Our Daughter’s Honest Exit Interview

After years of homeschooling, how do you know if it actually worked?Our oldest daughter, Piper, is heading off to college—so we decided it was time for an exit interview.Piper joins Maeve in the studio for an honest (and sometimes hilarious) look back at her homeschool years: what she loved, what she definitely did NOT love, what made her feel most loved by her parents, the rules she appreciates now, and what she thinks we could have done better.But the conversation goes deeper as Piper shares how homeschooling prepared her to take ownership of her education, develop a strong moral compass, and understand and defend her Catholic faith.And because no exit interview should be completely comfortable, Maeve puts 18 years of Catholic formation to the test by pulling out the old apologetics cards and quizzing Piper on the spot.If you're still in the trenches wondering whether all those read-alouds, field trips, phone battles, catechism lessons, and ordinary days at home are actually making a difference, this one's for you.Grab the 2026-2027 Catholic Homeschool Planner here.Isn't it hard to find Catholic friends?!
