#86: Breaking Free: Leaving the Military to Home Educate

What if leaving a secure government job could lead to a more fulfilling life for you and your child? Join us as we sit down with Susan Gladstein, a former military professional who took the courageous leap into homeschooling her daughter in Arizona. Susan opens up about the immense personal growth she experienced as she navigated away from traditional school systems to honor her daughter's unique way of learning. From overcoming initial fears to finding invaluable support through homeschooling podcasts, Susan’s journey is a testament to the power of embracing change and prioritizing what truly matters in life.Have you ever felt trapped by "golden handcuffs"? Listen as Susan and I unpack the emotional and practical implications of walking away from a stable government career. We explore the tension between financial security and personal fulfillment, and the unsettling influence of financial institutions like the Federal Reserve on our decisions. Through Susan’s poignant anecdotes, we highlight the psychological barriers that keep many from pursuing their passions and how breaking free can lead to unexpected rewards, including quality family time and a deeper sense of purpose.Let's Talk, Emergencies! - Cheryl's children's book, and don't forgetThe Activity Book!The Tuttle Twins - use code Cheryl40 for 40% off ages 5-11 book seriesJIBBY MUSHROOM COFFEE - try today with code CHERYL20 for 20% off!Earthley Wellness -  use code HomeschoolHowTo for 10% off your first orderTreehouseSchoolhouse for your Fall Nature Study Curriculum- use promo code: THEHOMESCHOOLHOWTOPODCAST for 10% off entire order (if code puts you under free shipping limit- check out the traceable calendar to add to your order!)PLEASE SHARE the show with this link!Venmo, Ko-Fi  (no fee)Support the showInstagram: TheHomeschoolHowToPodcast Facebook: The Homeschool How To Podcast
