If you're new to homeschooling or considering it for your child's future, you might be wondering about the legal aspects. Is it legal in your country? What would you do if someone questioned you about it or tried to report you? 

It sounds scary to talk about it, but in this episode we debunk some myths and help you find your confidence!

Highlights:

  • Motherhood during law school

  • Experiencing preschool

  • How she became a homeschooler

  • How she uses her law degree to support homeschoolers
