Ep 42 – Rediscovering Identity as a Teacher, Homeschool Mom, and Author

When former teacher Katie did the math and decided to transition to stay-at-home parenthood with her young children, she gave 110% to her new role as mama and homeschool teacher. After parenting while pregnant through several big moves across multiple states, Katie found herself eager to rediscover her identity beyond motherhood. Combining her love for her children and passions for education and the outdoors, she self-published her first children’s book. Katie’s premiere children’s book “Into the Field” explores friendship, healthy screentime balance, and the excitement found in nature through the perspective of her young protagonists to inspire early readers to venture outside. Today on the Mama Mode podcast, Katie dishes on her changed perspective on homeschooling, screen addiction in kids and adults, and her journey to rediscovering her individuality alongside her role in motherhood.
