E76: The Lie of "Perfect" Homeschooling | Lauren Williams

Homeschool creator Lauren Williams (@valorfilledhome) shares what happened when a candid reel went viral—hate comments, misconceptions, and an unexpected surge of moms whispering, “Thank you for saying what I’m afraid to say.” Lauren and Kristen Bruinius talk about believing lies vs. believing God, choosing silence over clapbacks, and how Scripture reframed her response (Noah’s waiting, Psalm 23’s “walk”). We get real about rhythms, socialization, qualifications, and simple unit studies that keep learning joyful. Whether you homeschool, private school, public school—or you’re just navigating life on the internet—this conversation offers courage, clarity, and the reminder that you and your kids are right where you need to be.Support the show (affiliate links):• Try the Solle Naturals sample pack → https://www.sollenaturals.com (use code KRISTEN for $10 off your first order)• Divi Haircare (clean scalp + growth care) → https://www.diviofficial.com (use code HolisticKristen for 15% off)Disclosure: I earn a commission if you purchase through these links—thank you for supporting the podcast!
